Abstract
Objective
This study aims to evaluate the compliance rate of patient handover practices among nurses at the City Children's Hospital using the Situation, Background, Assessment, Recommendation (SBAR) checklist and to identify associated factors influencing adherence.
Methodology
A cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted, observing 205 patient handover cases performed by nurses in clinical departments of the hospital. Data were collected using the SBAR model as a framework for evaluation.
Results
The compliance rate for the “Situation" (S) component ranged from 52.7% to 92.2%. For “Background" (B), compliance varied between 75.6% and 82.4%. The “Assessment" (A) component exhibited compliance rates from 60.5% to 91.2%. Finally, the “Recommendation" (R) component showed compliance levels between 71.2% and 83.9%. While certain aspects of the SBAR process demonstrated high adherence and effective implementation, other areas showed varying levels of compliance, indicating room for improvement.
Conclusions
The findings reveal considerable variation in the adherence to the SBAR handover process. While some steps are effectively implemented with high compliance rates, others require targeted interventions to improve adherence and ensure consistency in patient safety practices.
