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...

Area of Science:

  • Nursing
  • Healthcare Management
  • Patient Safety

Background:

  • Nurse bedside shift report (BSR) is known to enhance patient satisfaction, quality of care, and safety.
  • However, hospital adoption rates for BSR remain suboptimal.
  • Further research is needed to understand optimal BSR content and identify facilitators from nurses' perspectives.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore acute care clinical nurses' and nursing supervisors' experiences with BSR processes.
  • To identify appropriate content for BSR.
  • To determine barriers and facilitators to BSR implementation.

Main Methods:

  • A qualitative phenomenological study was conducted at a large academic medical center.
  • Interviews were held with 22 clinical nurses and 12 nursing supervisors.
  • Data analysis involved identifying themes related to BSR experiences, content, and implementation.

Main Results:

  • Five key themes emerged: time constraints and workflow integration are crucial.
  • A modified BSR approach is necessary.
  • Content and process should be individualized.
  • Specific critical content should be designated for discussion inside versus outside the patient room.

Conclusions:

  • A modified BSR approach, involving discussions both inside and outside the patient room, can minimize interruptions.
  • Identifying nurses' preferred locations for discussing specific critical topics is essential for successful implementation.
  • Findings can inform BSR practice and future research for sustained adoption.
