Summary
A training program using the Situation, Background, Assessment, Recommendation (SBARR) tool significantly improved nurses' knowledge, practice, and perception of shift handoff communication. This standardized method enhances continuity of care.
Area of Science:
- Nursing
- Healthcare Communication
- Patient Safety
Background:
- Effective nurse shift handovers are crucial for continuity of care.
- Standardized communication tools can enhance the quality of patient information transfer.
- The Situation, Background, Assessment, Recommendation (SBARR) tool is a structured approach to clinical communication.
Purpose of the Study:
- To evaluate the impact of a shift reporting training program utilizing the SBARR tool.
- To assess changes in nurses' knowledge, practice, and perception of shift handoff communication.
- To investigate the effectiveness of SBARR in noncritical hospital departments.
Main Methods:
- A quasi-experimental research design was employed.
- The study included 83 staff nurses in noncritical departments.
- Data were collected using knowledge questionnaires, observation checklists, and perception scales, analyzed with SPSS.
Main Results:
- Nurses' knowledge significantly increased from 4.8% to 92.8% post-intervention (p < .001).
- Adequate practice reached 100%, and perception of shift handoff communication showed significant improvement (p < .001).
- Study involvement and improved scores were positive predictors of enhanced perception.
Conclusions:
- The SBARR shift work reporting method significantly improved nurses' knowledge, practice, and perception.
- Implementing standardized tools like SBARR is effective in enhancing nurse communication and patient care.
- The training program demonstrated a positive impact on nursing practice and communication quality.

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.

The barriers to effective communication also include cultural barriers, semantic barriers, gender barriers, and time constraints.
Cultural barriers:
Differences in values, beliefs, religion, knowledge, and tradition can significantly impact communication. Awareness of nonverbal cues is critical, especially when conversing with a patient from a different culture. What appears appropriate in one culture may be inappropriate in another.
Semantic barriers:

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.
