초록

Purpose: This study identified the current status and perception of intensive care unit nurses’ handover. Methods: A cross sectional descriptive survey was employed. The population included nurse managers and staff nurses who worked in intensive care units in hospitals with more than 500 beds and excluded nursing homes, psychiatric hospitals, and military hospitals. Results: Of the nurses, 61.7% were satisfied with the current handover method, 68.36% had no handover-related guidelines, and 83.2% of them perceived that the handover was important for patients’ safety. The most frequent cause for errors related to handover was that the “nursing workload is heavy.” The nurses perceived that their handover was informative (5.62 ±0.79) and efficient (5.04 ±0.98). The variables associated with their perception of the handover were the level of satisfaction with the current handover method, existence of handover guidelines, and importance of handover for patient safety. Conclusion: The development of standardized handover guidelines, especially for intensive care units, is necessary to reduce handover time and errors and to improve handover quality for patients’safety and high standards of nursing care.
