Effective communication among healthcare professionals during hand-off reporting is essential to delivering safe and continuous patient care. Common professional interactions include reports to healthcare team members, hand-off, and transfer reports. Nurses routinely report information to other healthcare team members and also urgently contact healthcare providers to report changes in patient status.

Nursing Process for Patient and Caregiver Teaching II: Planning and Implementation

Planning for learning involves the development of a teaching plan. Teaching plans are similar to nursing care plans—both follow the steps of the nursing process. Planning in the teaching process involves setting goals and outcomes. Here, goals identify what a patient needs to achieve to understand a healthcare topic better, whereas the outcomes are the action to be performed by the patient to achieve the goal within a timeframe. For example, if the goal is to educate the patient about insulin...

Nursing Process for Patient and Caregiver Teaching III: Evaluation and Documentation

Evaluation of the teaching process enables the nurse to determine if the patient's learning needs were met and if training was effective. If the expected outcomes are not met, the care plan is revised, and additional education or reinforcement is provided. Nurses can ask questions after the session or obtain feedback to assess the patient's understanding of the topic.
Nurses can use several methods to evaluate patient outcomes. For example, oral questions can assess cognitive learning, patient...

Area of Science:

  • Nursing Practice
  • Patient Safety
  • Healthcare Communication

Background:

  • Nursing handover is a fundamental aspect of daily nursing practice.
  • Effective handover is essential for ensuring safe patient care.
  • Limited literature exists on optimal handover procedures.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate nurses' perceptions of nursing handover.
  • To identify the strengths of the current handover process.
  • To determine the limitations of the current handover process.

Main Methods:

  • A staff survey was distributed to nurses across all inpatient wards.
  • The survey targeted nurses in a metropolitan tertiary hospital.
  • 176 nurses responded to the survey.

Main Results:

  • Nurses' opinions on handover effectiveness were conflicting.
  • Some nurses felt they received sufficient patient information and had opportunities for clarification.
  • Identified weaknesses included information subjectivity, time consumption, information repetition, and handover by unfamiliar nurses.

Conclusions:

  • The effectiveness of nursing handover is perceived differently among nurses.
  • Addressing identified weaknesses in the handover process is necessary.
  • Further attention is required to optimize nursing handover practices.
