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.

Area of Science:

  • Nursing Practice
  • Patient Safety
  • Healthcare Communication

Background:

  • Bedside handover aims to improve patient safety through direct visualization and patient involvement.
  • However, bedside handover is inconsistently performed and often excludes patients.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore and understand the barriers perceived by nurses in conducting bedside handover.

Main Methods:

  • A cross-sectional survey of 200 nurses in two Australian hospitals.
  • Included an open-ended question on perceived barriers to bedside handover.
  • Content analysis and a determinant framework were used for data analysis.

Main Results:

  • 176 nurses (88%) responded to the open-ended question.
  • Identified barriers include censoring sensitive information, disrupted communication flow, and individual nurse/patient factors.
  • Barriers were categorized into individual, patient, social/political/legal, and guideline factors.

Conclusions:

  • Enhancing bedside handover involves addressing nurse misconceptions, improving education, and clarifying legal aspects.
  • Regular patient rounding and standardized handovers can facilitate patient involvement.
  • Organizational processes must support bedside handover for successful implementation.
