SBAR II: Application of SBAR

SBAR is an effective communication tool used by healthcare professionals to communicate patient information accurately. SBAR stands for Situation, Background, Assessment, and Recommendation. For a better understanding, an example is given below.

Reliability and Validity01:29

Reliability and Validity

Reliability and validity are two important considerations that must be made with any type of data collection. Reliability refers to the ability to consistently produce a given result. In the context of psychological research, this would mean that any instruments or tools used to collect data do so in consistent, reproducible ways.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Healthcare Communication
  • Assessment Methods

Background:

  • Traditional assessment methods like multiple-choice exams, standardized patients, and peer evaluations have limitations in assessing complex communication skills.
  • Existing methods are often costly, biased, or ill-suited for evaluating nuanced abilities such as interprofessional communication.
  • Web-based assessment using video offers a potential solution for reliable, valid, and cost-efficient measurement of these skills.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and evaluate a web-based tool for assessing team-oriented medical error communication.
  • The tool specifically targets skills in error disclosure and team communication within a healthcare context.
  • To provide a more effective and efficient method for measuring complex communication competencies.

Main Methods:

  • Development of the Web-based Team-Oriented Medical Error Communication Assessment Tool using videotaped cases.
  • Defined key communication behaviors, created realistic scenarios, and wrote scripts for professional actors.
  • Designed assessment questions focused on team communication during planning and error disclosure phases.

Main Results:

  • Internal consistency estimates (coefficient alpha) ranged from α=.70 to α=.89, indicating good reliability for the assessment items.
  • Preliminary test-retest correlations were r=.59 for discussion/planning and r=.25 for error disclosure.
  • Physicians and nurses rated video quality (4.3/5.0), acting (4.3), and case content (4.5) highly, supporting content validity and user acceptance.

Conclusions:

  • Web-based assessment of communication skills, particularly using video, shows significant promise for medical education and practice.
  • The developed tool is well-received by physicians and nurses across various specialties.
  • This approach offers a viable and favorable alternative for evaluating critical communication competencies in healthcare professionals.
