Area of Science:

  • Nursing Practice
  • Healthcare Communication
  • Patient Safety

Background:

  • Nursing handoffs are essential for patient care continuity and safety.
  • Inefficient handoffs can negatively impact nurse communication.
  • Understanding nurse perceptions is key to improving handoff processes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate Korean nurses' perceptions of patient handoff procedures.
  • To identify challenges and areas for improvement in nursing handoffs.

Main Methods:

  • A descriptive survey design was utilized.
  • The study included nurses from general wards in 201 large hospitals (≥300 beds).

Main Results:

  • A significant percentage of nurses (27.9%) felt current handoff methods require change.
  • Most nurses (75.8%) reported no handoff-specific guidelines.
  • Frequent interruptions by external visitors were the primary reported issue.
  • Age, handoff method, and preparation time influenced perceptions of the need for change.

Conclusions:

  • Nurses perceive handoffs as frequently interrupted and excessively time-consuming.
  • A standardized nursing handoff method is necessary to enhance information accuracy.
  • Addressing external interruptions and optimizing preparation time can improve handoff efficiency.
