BEDSIDE SHIFT REPORTS
AND IMPLICATION ON
PATIENT SAFETY: PICOT
This will include your PICOT question, problem and a critical appraisal doing a literature review. With the final project, you will identify if the studies are clinically significant
and answer your research question. With this final project clinical appraisal process you will include a discussion of an intervention to be use for projected outcome and can
be applied to nursing practice. Use this PICOT question: How effective is nursing bedside shift reporting in reducing medical errors in comparison to nursing shift reporting at
the nurses station? Speaker notes required for this PowerPoint presentation. Key Elements for final project: TITLE OF PLANNED STUDY: Come up with a short and eye catching
title. Introduction: What is the problem or topic of interest? PICOT Question: Include your PICOT question : How effective is nursing bedside shift reporting in reducing
medical errors in comparison to nursing shift reporting at the nurses station? Purpose: �A clear, concise statement of the specific goal or focus of study� Background and
Significance to Care (Introduction): Briefly describe what is already know about the problem and why it continues to be a problem, or of significance to nursing practice.

Leads to better outcomes
Effective communication established between nurses and with patients
(Bogani & Correia, 2018)

Qualitative research with a grounded theory design
Method: Constructivist grounded theory methodology
Purpose: To find out the perception of nurses to bedside shift reporting and impact on patient
safety
21 registered nurses in a 124 bed capacity government facility
Data collected using questionnaires and ethnographic observations
Analysis using constant comparison, open, focused, and theoretical coding
Limited by intra-shift disruptions and strengthened by communication
Bedside shift reporting led to improved patient safety and improved nurses communication
(Birmingham, Buffum, Blegen, & Lyndon, 2015).

doi:10.1016/j.pedn.2018.02.008
Purpose: Explore the relationship and perception of patients nurses and patient and family in
bedside shift reporting
Method: Ethnographic exploratory-descriptive qualitative analysis
40 participants: 25 nurses 15 patients and family members
Semi-structured questionnaires used as prompts for the recorded interviews
Data analysis by two individuals
Results indicative of the impact of collaborative effort in improving patient safety

Bedside shift handover implementation quantitative evidence: Findings from a scoping
review. Journal of Nursing Management, 27(4), 815-832. doi:10.1111/jonm.12746
Purpose: investigate outcomes processes and research methods on bedside shit reports
Method: Scope review of primary, quasi-experimental and mixed-method qualitative study
234 studies included in the scope review
Data charting using Situation Background Assessment Recommendation (SBAR) model
Limitation as some of the studies may have been missed if they were not on the databases explored
Strength is that various outcomes were reviewed in one scoop
Results indicative that the outcomes including patient safety favorably affected by bedside shift
reporting.

evidence say? The Journal of Nursing Administration, 44(10), 541-545.
Purpose is to investigate the various factors such as outcomes and the impact of bedside shift reporting
Method : Mixed method qualitative scope review
Data bases include MEDLINE, PubMed, and Ovid supported by computer assisted program
33 studies with various outcomes and research criterion used
Strength was that various outcomes explore at a go
Limitation was due to missed studies that were not in the searched databases
Findings reveal that the outcomes were positively impacted by bedside shift including patient safety
(Gregory, Tan, Tilrico, Edwardson, & Gamm, 2014).

150-157.
Purpose was to investigate nursing perception to bedside shift reporting
Method was an interpretive descriptive ethnological qualitative study
semi structured questionnaires, and prob questions used in recorded and transcribed interviews
Thematic and coded data analysis
participants selected for a single ward in an acute tertiary facility
Limited the number of respondents hence not entirely representative
Easy fast and convenient research
Findings concluded the perceptions of nurses towards bedside shift reporting impacted outcomes
(Roslan & Lim, 2017)

associated with the competent nursing handoff. Journal of Applied Communication
Research, 43(3), 294-314.
Purpose: role of communication behaviors in the effectiveness of nurse bedside handoff
Anonymous, cross-sectional online survey, a qualitative design
Data collection using online questionnaires
Multivariate analysis of variance was used to conduct data analysis
Limitation due to no personal researcher-respondent touch
Cheap easy to conduct and no researcher bias
Communication behaviors during handoff impacted the patient outcomes
(Streeter, Harrington, & Lane, 2015).
Comparison
Qualitative research studies with various designs
Basis of evidence based practices and their impact on patient and nursing outcomes
Attitudes and perceptions towards bedside shift reporting
Different outcomes explored from the studies
Effect and impact of bedside shift reporting on outcomes highlighted
(McAllen, Stephens, Swanson-Biearman, Kerr, & Whiteman, 2018; Bresson et al., 2019).
Contrast
Different outcome emphasis based n perceptions.
Limitations also varied
Study methods and designs different
Varying recommendations form all six reviewed articles
Highlighted barriers to effective bedside shift reporting
Perceptions and attitudes differ hence varying impact on outcomes
(Vines, Dupler, Van Son, & Guido, 2014).
Implementation
Purpose is to understand the impact on nursing’s bedside shift reporting on patient safety
Method: grounded theory study with an ethnographic exploratory-descriptive qualitative
analysis
Basis for an assessment of the impact of implemented strategies on patient safety
Picot question would be the basis of research
Data sources including Ovid, MEDLINE, PubMed, EBSCO, CINAHL, and Scopus
(Ballantyne, 2019; Gregory, Tan, Tilrico, Edwardson, & Gamm, 2014).
Implementation: Data collection and Analysis
Thematic, coded, multivariate data analysis
Number of articles would be limited to 40 or less
Nursing unit articles of preferred
Peer-reviewed scholarly articles
Supplementary data rom units that have been consistent for over one year
Semi-structured administered questionnaire used, recorded and transcribed using
thematic guidelines
Data measured though outcomes
(Bogani & Correia, 2018)
Implementation: Results
Impact on various patient and nursing outcomes
Patients introduced to incoming nursing personnel and thus can raise concerns about their health
Maintenance of patient confidentiality
Interpersonal relationship established.
Patient safety improvement
Efficient and effective nursing communication established
Overall improvement of healthcare provision
(Dorvil, 2018).
Implication in Nursing
Improved healthcare provision and service delivery
Efficient communication
Better patient and nursing outcomes and satisfaction
Patient safety
(Gregory, Tan, Tilrico, Edwardson, & Gamm, 2014).
Conclusion
In conclusion, nursing bedside shift report is essential in the improvement of
communication , quality of healthcare, patient satisfaction, and patient safety as
compared to nursing station reporting and hence should be implemented through
conceptional framework which will adopt and execute the evidences provided by
research and studies .
