|November 26, 2023
Summary
Effective nursing handover education for students and nurses requires practical strategies. Incorporating demonstrations, feedback, and practice opportunities significantly improves handover performance and self-efficacy.
Area of Science:
- Nursing Education
- Patient Safety
- Healthcare Communication
Background:
- Nursing handovers are critical for continuity of care and patient safety.
- Effective communication during patient care transitions is paramount.
- Standardized handover processes minimize errors and improve outcomes.
Approach:
- Systematic literature review of Korean and international studies.
- Searched MEDLINE, Embase, and CINAHL databases for studies up to June 2022.
- Included 18 studies focusing on educational interventions for nursing handovers.
Key Points:
- Educational interventions included lectures, demonstrations, role-play, and feedback.
- Content focused on handover importance, information extraction, and structured communication strategies.
- Active practice with diverse patient case scenarios enhanced learning.
- Performance and self-efficacy improved with feedback and practice opportunities.
Conclusions:
- Nursing handover education should integrate individual feedback and practice.
- Developing effective feedback methods is crucial for enhancing educational programs.
- Utilizing diverse patient case simulations can improve practical skills.

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.

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.

01:24Nursing Process for Patient and Caregiver Teaching II: Planning and Implementation
1.2K
Planning for learning involves the development of a teaching plan. Teaching plans are similar to nursing care plans—both follow the steps of the nursing process. Planning in the teaching process involves setting goals and outcomes. Here, goals identify what a patient needs to achieve to understand a healthcare topic better, whereas the outcomes are the action to be performed by the patient to achieve the goal within a timeframe. For example, if the goal is to educate the patient about...

Evaluation of the teaching process enables the nurse to determine if the patient's learning needs were met and if training was effective. If the expected outcomes are not met, the care plan is revised, and additional education or reinforcement is provided. Nurses can ask questions after the session or obtain feedback to assess the patient's understanding of the topic.
Nurses can use several methods to evaluate patient outcomes. For example, oral questions can assess cognitive learning,...

Creating and executing a nursing diagnosis helps nurses plan care and guide patient, family, and community interventions. They are developed based on a patient's physical evaluation and support measuring the outcomes. It is not recommended to select random interventions throughout the planning process. Instead, consider the following six essential factors when choosing interventions:
