The nurse-client connection is built on therapeutic communication.

Area of Science:

  • Healthcare communication
  • Quality improvement in critical care
  • Patient safety protocols

Background:

  • Effective communication is critical in intensive care units (ICUs).
  • Varied communication practices between nurses and advanced practice providers posed risks to patient safety.
  • A standardized communication protocol was lacking in the ICU.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To enhance communication and collaboration between nurses and advanced practice providers in an ICU.
  • To address risks to patient safety stemming from inconsistent information exchange.
  • To implement and evaluate the impact of the Situation, Background, Assessment, Recommendation (SBAR) tool.

Main Methods:

  • A pre-post quality improvement design was employed.
  • Surveys assessed staff perceptions of communication and collaboration before and after an intervention.
  • An educational intervention focused on SBAR guidelines adapted for the ICU setting and patient safety.

Main Results:

  • Significant improvements were observed in all communication areas post-intervention.
  • Advanced practice providers and nurses reported significant improvements in General Perceptions.
  • The use of the SBAR tool increased from 66% to 95% among nurses post-intervention.

Conclusions:

  • The SBAR communication tool implementation led to significant improvements in general perceptions of communication within the ICU.
  • Standardized communication protocols are vital for enhancing patient safety in critical care settings.
  • The SBAR tool effectively improved interprofessional communication and collaboration.
