Abstract

Objectives: to aimed to explore patient handoff practices among nursing teams in hemodialysis clinics.

Methods: this study was conducted from April to June 2022, in six hemodialysis clinics in five health regions in Ceará, Brazil. The study involved 44 in-depth individual interviews with nursing professionals. Interviews occurred from April to June 2022 and were recorded for subsequent transcription.

Results: four themes emerged from the data analysis: Information communicated during patient handoff; Failures in patient handoff; Communication-enabling technologies; and Nursing team's perceptions on patient handoff.

Final considerations: the findings indicate that the patient handoff practices in hemodialysis clinics lack standardization and require improved communication among the nursing team. The lack of uniformity in information transmitted during shift handoffs poses a potential risk to patient safety and requires attention to enhance communication protocols.

从血液透析单位护理团队的角度看病人的交接。

目的：探讨血液透析诊所护理团队的病人交接实践。方法：本研究于2022年4月至6月在巴西塞埃尔 5个卫生区域的6个血液透析诊所进行。这项研究对护理专业人员进行了44次深入的个人访谈。采访发生在2022年4月至6月，并记录下来供后续转录。结果：从数据分析中得出四个主题：患者交接过程中的信息沟通；病人交接失败；Communication-enabling技术;护理团队对病人交接的认知。最后的考虑：研究结果表明，血液透析诊所的病人交接实践缺乏标准化，需要改善护理团队之间的沟通。在换班过程中传输的信息缺乏一致性对患者安全构成潜在风险，需要注意加强通信协议。
