摘要

背景:护士有效的交接沟通对于确保护理连续性、护理质量和患者安全以及最大限度地降低不良事件风险至关重要。值得注意的是,护理行业日益全球化以及由此导致的医疗保健领域多元文化工作场所的兴起可能会影响交接沟通。然而,目前尚未开发出任何工具来评估多元文化护理环境中有效交接的现行做法和因素,尽管此类工具被认为是识别沟通挑战和改进机会所必需的。目的:本文介绍了一项拟议研究将使用的协议,该研究旨在调整和验证现有的交接质量测量工具,即交接评估量表。这项拟议的研究还将采用顺序探索性混合方法,分定性和定量两个阶段,研究多元文化危重症护理背景下促成有效交接的因素:第一阶段将探讨沙特阿拉伯 ICU 护士对有效交接班的看法以及影响交接班质量的因素。将通过有目的的抽样招募 20 名护士进行半结构化访谈来收集数据。将使用解释性描述对数据进行分析,以确定对修改工具有用的项目。接下来,将根据定性研究结果对工具进行修改。最后,将根据第一阶段的结果进行定量研究,以评估工具的可靠性和内容有效性,并确定其内部维度结构:本文介绍了研究方案,该方案将采用探索性顺序混合方法设计,对现有工具进行调整和验证,以衡量多元文化重症监护病房的交接班质量:本文所描述的方案提供了一个改编移交评估量表的框架,以衡量移交的有效性,并确定在多元文化重症监护环境中目前所面临的挑战和影响移交有效性的因素。这一版本的量表可应用于临床实践,以确定改善交接的最佳做法。

A protocol for validation of the Handover Evaluation Scale in multicultural ICUs.

Background: Effective handover communication by nurses is essential to ensuring care continuity, care quality and patient safety and minimizing the risk of adverse events. Notably, the increasing globalization of the nursing profession and the resulting rise of multicultural workplaces in health care can affect handover communication. However, no tools have yet been developed to evaluate the current practices and factors contributing to effective handover in multicultural care settings, even though such instruments are deemed necessary to identify communication challenges and opportunities for improvement.

Aims: This paper describes the protocol that will be used in a proposed study that aims to adapt and validate an existing instrument for measuring handover quality-namely the Handover Evaluation Scale. The proposed study will also examine the factors contributing to effective handovers in a multicultural critical care context using a sequential exploratory mixed-method and will involve a qualitative and a quantitative phase.

Study design: The first phase will explore Saudi Arabian ICU nurses' perceptions of effective shift handovers and the factors influencing handover quality. Data will be collected by recruiting 20 nurses through purposive sampling for semi-structured interviews. Interpretive description will be used to analyse the data to identify items useful for modifying the tool. Next, the tool will be modified based on the qualitative findings. Lastly, a quantitative study will be conducted based on the results of the first phase to assess the instrument's reliability and content validity and determine its internal dimensional structure.

Results: This paper describes the study protocol that will be applied to adapt and validate an existing tool to measure the quality of handover in multicultural ICUs, using an exploratory sequential mixed-methods design.

Relevance to clinical practice: The protocol described in this paper provides a framework for an adaptation of the Handover Evaluation Scale to measure handover effectiveness and to identify current challenges and factors affecting handover effectiveness in the multicultural critical care context. This version of the scale can be applied in clinical practice to determine best practices for improving handover.

期刊介绍: Nursing in Critical Care is an international peer-reviewed journal covering any aspect of critical care nursing practice, research, education or management. Critical care nursing is defined as the whole spectrum of skills, knowledge and attitudes utilised by practitioners in any setting where adults or children, and their families, are experiencing acute and critical illness. Such settings encompass general and specialist hospitals, and the community. Nursing in Critical Care covers the diverse specialities of critical care nursing including surgery, medicine, cardiac, renal, neurosciences, haematology, obstetrics, accident and emergency, neonatal nursing and paediatrics. Papers published in the journal normally fall into one of the following categories: -research reports -literature reviews -developments in practice, education or management -reflections on practice
