SBAR I: Understanding the Concept

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.
Standardized methods of communication have been developed to ensure that information is...

Techniques of therapeutic communication I: Active Listening, Sharing Observations, Validation, and Using Touch

The history of therapeutic communication can be traced back to Florence Nightingale, who emphasized the importance of developing trusting relationships with patients. She taught that the presence of nurses with patients results in therapeutic healing.
Therapeutic communication is not the same as social interaction. Social interaction has no goal or purpose and consists of casual information sharing, whereas therapeutic communication has a plan or purpose for the conversation. Therapeutic...
Nursing Implementation01:15

Nursing Implementation

Implementation is the execution of the nursing care plan developed during the planning phase.
The five steps to implementing effective nursing care include reassessing the patient, reviewing and revising the existing nursing care plan, organizing the resources and care delivery, anticipating and preventing complications, and implementing nursing interventions.

Assessment of apical radial pulse01:25

Assessment of apical radial pulse

Apical-Radial (A-R) Pulse Assessment
The A-R pulse assessment involves simultaneous evaluation of the apical and radial pulses. When the apical and radial pulse rates vary, this assessment helps identify a pulse deficit.

Area of Science:

  • Nursing Practice
  • Healthcare Management
  • Patient Safety

Background:

  • Bedside handover is an evolving nursing practice.
  • Understanding its structures, processes, and outcomes is crucial for effective implementation.
  • Current adoption rates indicate it is not yet the norm in healthcare settings.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the structures, processes, and perceived outcomes of bedside handover in nursing.
  • To identify key elements facilitating or hindering bedside handover.
  • To evaluate the impact of bedside handover on patient care.

Main Methods:

  • A case study design was employed across six wards in two hospitals.
  • Direct observation of 532 bedside handover events.
  • Conducting 34 semi-structured interviews with nursing staff.

Main Results:

  • Identified structural elements include staff, patients, handover sheets, and bedside charts.
  • Key processes involve patient/visitor management, information handling, communication flow, safety scans, and medication checks.
  • The Situation, Background, Assessment, and Recommendations (SBAR) approach was context-dependent.

Conclusions:

  • Bedside handover positively impacts accuracy and service delivery.
  • It promotes a patient-centred care model.
  • While not standard, bedside handover represents a patient-focused approach to nursing communication.
