Types of Reports I: Hands-off Report

1.3K
A hand-off report, also known as a change-of-shift report, is a crucial nursing process that ensures the smooth transition of patient care responsibilities between nursing staff.
Following are the key components and categories of hand-off reports:

Nursing Implementation01:15

Nursing Implementation

5.6K
Implementation is the execution of the nursing care plan developed during the planning phase.
The five steps to implementing effective nursing care include reassessing the patient, reviewing and revising the existing nursing care plan, organizing the resources and care delivery, anticipating and preventing complications, and implementing nursing interventions.

Role of Communication in the Nursing Process II: Planning and Implementation

2.3K
Several factors are considered while creating a patient's care plan. Motivation is a factor in improving communication, and patients often require encouragement to try different approaches involving significant change. It is essential to involve the patient and family in decisions about the plan of care to determine whether the suggested methods are acceptable. Consider meeting critical comfort and safety needs before introducing new communication methods and techniques. Allow adequate time...

SBAR I: Understanding the Concept

5.4K
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...

The history of therapeutic communication can be traced back to Florence Nightingale, who emphasized the importance of developing trusting relationships with patients. She taught that the presence of nurses with patients results in therapeutic healing.
Therapeutic communication is not the same as social interaction. Social interaction has no goal or purpose and consists of casual information sharing, whereas therapeutic communication has a plan or purpose for the conversation. Therapeutic...

Current Trends in Nursing II

1.6K
Trends in nursing are multifactorial and associated with changes in society, within the nursing profession, and in other professions. Notably, telehealth and remote nursing contribute to successful healthcare delivery for numerous patients and help reduce stress for nurses due to nursing shortages. Nurses can reach patients, monitor their conditions, and interact with them using computers, audio, visual accessories, and telephones—for example, remote patient monitoring systems. Likewise,...

Area of Science:

  • Nursing Education
  • Healthcare Simulation
  • Medical Communication

Background:

  • Effective healthcare communication is vital for patient safety.
  • Nursing students require training in accurate patient handoff reports.
  • The situation-background-assessment-recommendation (SBAR) method is a standard for clinical communication.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop, evaluate, and refine a virtual reality simulation for nursing students.
  • To assess the impact of a virtual experience on understanding handoff reports.
  • To practice the SBAR communication method in a simulated clinical setting.

Main Methods:

  • A between-groups experimental study involving 69 prelicensure nursing students.
  • Students viewed a virtual nurse-patient interaction during a triage assessment.
  • Comprehension of handoff reports was evaluated using the SBAR instrument.

Main Results:

  • No significant difference in comprehension based on metacognitive learning strategies.
  • Students accurately completed the SBAR instrument after the virtual experience.
  • Students reported increased confidence in performing triage assessments after the simulation.

Conclusions:

  • Virtual reality simulations are effective tools for teaching nursing students SBAR communication.
  • The virtual experience improved student understanding and confidence in clinical handoffs.
  • An unexpected finding regarding patient safety in simulations requires further investigation.
