ISBAR Communication Guideline: An Innovative Strategy to Facilitate Civility Among Prelicensure Nursing Students.

Abstract: Competency in communication and collaboration is essential in forming interprofessional partnerships for nursing practice. However, many students in nursing programs struggle with professional oral and written communication, leading to poor communication and incivility. Generational differences and expectations exacerbate communication breakdown and incivility among students and faculty. Implementing communication guidelines using a standardized communication tool in a traditional bachelor of science in nursing program helped facilitate professional and civil communication between students and faculty. Using the standardized tool improved student civility, professionalism, and accountability.
