Abstract

Patient's clinical handoff which is a critical organizational and clinical process is considered one of the fundamental responsibilities of nurses. In this regard, lack of tools and resources to be applied for this purpose threatens the life of patients. The present study aimed to investigate the nursing handoff skill among nurses using situation-background-assessment-recommendationquestionnaire. This observational research was carried out on 64 nurses in internal and surgical wards in selected hospitals affiliated to Shahid Beheshti University of Medical Sciences in Tehran, Iran in 2018. The research population included the content of reports related to nursing handoff of nurses working in the hospitals. The reliability and validity of the questionnaire were confirmed, and descriptive statistics were applied to evaluate the data. It is worthy to note that the majority of participants were female (68.8%). After the evaluation, patient information was reported in areas of current situation (90.0%), clinical background (10.0%), assessment of systems’ status (57.5%), and recommendations (92.5%). Based on the results of the study, less attention was paid to mentioning clinical background and assessing patients’ systems during nursing handoff, which necessitates the training courses on accurate reporting for nurses to ensure patient safety.

用情境-背景-评估-推荐表评价普通病房护士护理交接技能

病人的临床交接是一个关键的组织和临床过程，被认为是护士的基本职责之一。在这方面，缺乏用于这一目的的工具和资源威胁着患者的生命。本研究旨在采用情境-背景-评估-推荐问卷调查护理人员的护理交接技能。本观察性研究于2018年在伊朗德黑兰选定的Shahid Beheshti医科大学附属医院的64名内科和外科病房护士进行。研究人群包括与医院护士护理交接相关的报告内容。对问卷的信度和效度进行确认，并采用描述性统计对数据进行评价。值得注意的是，大多数参与者是女性(68.8%)。评估后，报告了现状(90.0%)、临床背景(10.0%)、系统状态评估(57.5%)和建议(92.5%)方面的患者信息。从研究结果来看，在护理交接过程中，对临床背景的提及和对患者系统的评估受到的关注较少，这就需要对护士进行准确报告的培训，以确保患者的安全。
