This book provides an introduction to the field of human factors for individuals who are involved in the delivery and/or improvement of prehospital emergency care and describes opportunities to advance the practical application of human factors research in this critical domain. Relevant theories of human performance, including systems engineering principles, teamwork, training, and decision making are reviewed in light of the needs of current day prehospital emergency care. The primary focus is to expand awareness human factors and outlay the potential for novel and more effective solutions to the issues facing prehospital care and its practitioners.

This textbook comprehensively introduces readers to the cutting-edge field of human factors psychology, offering real-world examples illustrating how experimental findings can be used to improve the design of tools and environments that we use every day. The revised second edition provides updated text, examples, pedagogical boxes, and references.Features:Showcases pedagogical boxes that end with thought questions to encourage student processing and application of the materialIncludes instructor materials such as PowerPoint slides, activities, and exam items to facilitate teaching for instructors who are new to the coursePresents theoretical and practical implications of applying psychology to design with the use of examplesDiscusses anthropometric tools, anthropometric data collection methods, hand biomechanics, and hand toolsHighlights diversity and inclusion with applications to the special population section in each chapterIntroduction to Human Factors is an ideal read for senior undergraduate and graduate students in the fields of ergonomics, human factors, and psychology.Online teaching resources accompany this textbook, including PowerPoints, a test bank with answers, and an end-of-chapter questions and answers key for the instructors.

Data and security breaches can cost organizations millions and result in bad publicity and lost income, with humans often being regarded as the “weakest link” in cybersecurity incidents. This book is a cross-disciplinary primer on the latest research on human aspects of cybersecurity, reimagining the role of humans in cybersecurity systems. It aims to increase participation in research on the emerging, critical, and impactful area of human factors of cybersecurity by orienting human factors researchers, professionals, and students to cybersecurity issues while providing them with comprehensive, cross-cutting knowledge from human factors that applies to this emerging area.Across nine chapters, the Handbook of Human Factors in Cybersecurity Systems covers the essential topics for understanding humans to optimize cybersecurity system performance. Topics included cover system safety, cybersecurity teams, safety culture, cyberattacks, defense approaches, phishing, emerging cybersecurity threats and many more. The book investigates cybersecurity across numerous industries, including aviation and healthcare, and is backed up by interesting, real-life case studies. The reader will develop a full and thorough understanding of how to integrate human factors principles with cybersecurity practices.With chapters from a team of global experts, this book is an essential read for any student, academic, or professional in the disciplines of computer engineering, systems engineering, safety engineering, human factors, and ergonomics and cybersecurity engineering.

Introduction to Human Factors: Applying Psychology to Design is a comprehensive, but accessible text that introduces students to the field of human factors and ergonomics. This book is intended for undergraduate students, written from the psychological science perspective along with various pedagogical components that will enhance student comprehension and learning. Given our passion for the field, and desire to better educate people about human factors because of its wide applications, we provide a text that can be used in psychology departments and can potentially reach a wider audience beyond engineering. This book is ideal for those introductory courses that wish to introduce students to the multifaceted areas of human factors and ergonomics along with practical knowledge the students can apply in their own lives. Students from a variety of majors besides psychology (e.g., social work, education, engineering, computer science) will gain valuable information useful in their academic, professional, and personal lives. Presents vignettes of real world events to introduce the chapter topic and links the chapter material back to the vignette Provides the Application to Special Populations section at the end of each chapter. This will help students understand how to consider and design for special populations Offers Critical Thinking Questions at the end of each pedagogical box that explores a topic or circumstance Uses everyday real world events as well as military and aviation applications Includes critical thinking exercises to help students apply the human factors principles to their own livesPowerPoint® slides, Test Bank, and Activities are available upon qualifying course adoption.
