Area of Science:

Nursing Practice
Patient Safety
Healthcare Communication

Background:

Clinical handover is critical for patient safety in nursing.
Implemented changes include bedside handover and written summary sheets.

Purpose of the Study:

To explore nurses' perspectives on bedside handover and written handover sheets.

Main Methods:

Qualitative approach using six focus groups.
30 registered and enrolled nurses participated.
Thematic analysis was employed.

Main Results:

Identified themes: bedside handover strengths/weaknesses, patient involvement, and communication quality.
Three sources of patient information were highlighted.
Other key aspects influencing handover were identified.

Conclusions:

Bedside handover delivery should be adapted to patient caseloads (e.g., cognitive impairments), shift times, and service delivery models.
Flexible handover methods are crucial within clinical settings, emphasizing nursing teamwork.
Effective communication processes are fundamental to successful handover.
