“…[ 52 ]. Although ISBAR has been endorsed as an escalation tool for deteriorating patients [ 53 ], it is routinely cited as a clinical handover tool [ 54 ]. This finding builds on organisational literature on voice, where speakers (voicer) who suggest solutions rather than problems, were viewed more favourably and received higher performance evaluations [ 18 ].…”

Background Within healthcare, the barriers and enablers that influence clinicians’ ability to speak up are well researched. However, despite the receiver of the message being identified as a key barrier to a speaker voicing a concern, there have been very few receiver-focused studies. As a result, little is known about the barriers and enablers that influence message reception. Understanding these can help inform speaking up training and ultimately enhance patient safety through more effective clinical communication. Objectives To identify enabling or inhibiting factors that influence the receiver’s reception and response to a speaking up message, and if the identified barriers and enablers are related to speaker or receiver characteristics. Design and methods Twenty-two interdisciplinary simulations were video recorded and transcribed. Simulation participants formed the patient discharge team and were receivers of a speaking up message, delivered by a nurse at the patient’s bedside. How the message was delivered (verbose or abrupt wording), was manipulated and counterbalanced across the simulations. Within the post simulation debriefs, barriers and enablers of being a receiver of a message were explored using content analysis. Setting/participants This study took place in a large Australian tertiary healthcare setting. Participants were qualified clinicians of varying disciplines and specialties. Results A total of 261 barriers and 285 enablers were coded. Results showed that how the message was delivered (differing tone, phases, and manner) influenced what receivers identified as barriers and enablers. Additionally, the receiver’s own cognitive processes, such as making positive attributions of the speaker and attempting to build rapport and collegiality, better enabled message reception and response. Receiver behaviour was negatively impacted by listening to fix, rather than understand, and not knowing in the moment how to manage their own reactions and appropriately frame a response. Conclusion The debriefings identified key barriers and enablers to receiving a speaking up message that differ from those previously identified for senders of the speaking up message. Current speaking up programs are predominately speaker centric. This study identified that both speaker and receiver behaviour influenced message reception. Therefore, training must place equal attention on both the speaker and receiver and be inclusive of experiential conversational rehearsal of both positive and challenging encounters.
