What is the perception of nurses regarding the effectiveness of clinical handover in patient safety?
Study design
It will be a descriptive qualitative study that will be carried out to gain an insight about perception and understanding of nurses’ towards bedside clinical handover. The justification to why qualitative research will be chosen as this design emphasizes on verifiability, flexibility, transparency and trust ADDIN EN.CITE <EndNote><Cite><Author>Glesne</Author><Year>2016</Year><RecNum>96</RecNum><DisplayText>(Glesne, 2016)</DisplayText><record><rec-number>96</rec-number><foreign-keys><key app="EN" db-id="2s2s0zrapsf0pbe5efuvv20f9rszvx0sd2fe" timestamp="1568632592">96</key></foreign-keys><ref-type name="Book">6</ref-type><contributors><authors><author>Glesne, Corrine</author></authors></contributors><titles><title>Becoming qualitative researchers: An introduction</title></titles><dates><year>2016</year></dates><publisher>ERIC</publisher><isbn>0133859398</isbn><urls></urls></record></Cite></EndNote>(Glesne, 2016). This method will be suitable here as it will develop detail insight into the perception of nurses towards the effectiveness of clinical handover in patient safety. Focus group discussion will be carried out for this study. In a focus group discussion individuals are asked about their belief, perceptions and attitude towards a particular idea or phenomenon. Focus group discussions are among the instruments that are most commonly utilized by the researchers ADDIN EN.CITE <EndNote><Cite><Author>Carey</Author><Year>2016</Year><RecNum>97</RecNum><DisplayText>(Carey & Asbury, 2016)</DisplayText><record><rec-number>97</rec-number><foreign-keys><key app="EN" db-id="2s2s0zrapsf0pbe5efuvv20f9rszvx0sd2fe" timestamp="1568632643">97</key></foreign-keys><ref-type name="Book">6</ref-type><contributors><authors><author>Carey, Martha Ann</author><author>Asbury, Jo-Ellen</author></authors></contributors><titles><title>Focus group research</title></titles><dates><year>2016</year></dates><publisher>Routledge</publisher><isbn>1315428369</isbn><urls></urls></record></Cite></EndNote>(Carey & Asbury, 2016). In this study focus group discussion will be chosen to get a deep understanding of the perception of nurses towards the bedside clinical handover in patient safety. This will also help to explore the areas which are not touched in the previous studies.
Rationale
Handover is accountability and transfer of professional responsibility for few or all aspects of patient care, group of patients or any other person such as family, professional group and legal guardian on a permanent and temporary basis ADDIN EN.CITE <EndNote><Cite><Author>Anderson</Author><Year>2015</Year><RecNum>98</RecNum><DisplayText>(Anderson, Malone, Shanahan, & Manning, 2015)</DisplayText><record><rec-number>98</rec-number><foreign-keys><key app="EN" db-id="2s2s0zrapsf0pbe5efuvv20f9rszvx0sd2fe" timestamp="1568632687">98</key></foreign-keys><ref-type name="Journal Article">17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author>Anderson, Judith</author><author>Malone, Linda</author><author>Shanahan, Kerry</author><author>Manning, Jennifer</author></authors></contributors><titles><title>Nursing bedside clinical handover–an integrated review of issues and tools</title><secondary-title>Journal of Clinical Nursing</secondary-title></titles><periodical><full-title>Journal of clinical nursing</full-title></periodical><pages>662-671</pages><volume>24</volume><number>5-6</number><dates><year>2015</year></dates><isbn>0962-1067</isbn><urls></urls></record></Cite></EndNote>(Anderson, Malone, Shanahan, & Manning, 2015). Few studies have been conducted that have explored the perception of nurses regarding the effectiveness of bedside handover in patient safety. Handover is a common practice in a health care setting and many problems such as medication error and treatment delay can occur due to poor communication ADDIN EN.CITE <EndNote><Cite><Author>Herceg</Author><Year>2015</Year><RecNum>95</RecNum><DisplayText>(Herceg, 2015)</DisplayText><record><rec-number>95</rec-number><foreign-keys><key app="EN" db-id="2s2s0zrapsf0pbe5efuvv20f9rszvx0sd2fe" timestamp="1568632177">95</key></foreign-keys><ref-type name="Journal Article">17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author>Herceg, Nina</author></authors></contributors><titles><title>Improving Bedside Shift-to-shift Nursing Report Process</title></titles><dates><year>2015</year></dates><urls></urls></record></Cite></EndNote>(Herceg, 2015). Therefore there is a need to conduct an in-depth study to gain an insight into the nurse's perception of bedside clinical handover in the patient safety. This will help to improve the bedside clinical handover process in future and will lead to the patient safety.
