“…Delegation to less qualified staff may be beneficial in basic nursing care aspects, but ineffective delegation can lead to missed care instances and unsafe practice (Gravlin & Bittner, 2010;Johnson et al, 2015). Delegation skill, though not mentioned in the literature, may be something that needs to be addressed from the perspective of the pre-registration nurse and other staff delegated to the role in relation to IR (Blevins & Millen, 2016;Hasson, McKenna, & Keeney, 2013).…”

Aims To establish current knowledge about the efficacy and acceptance of intentional rounding in current practice, from the perspective of nurses, patients, patient satisfaction and safety indicators. Background Intentional rounding is a formal means of nursing staff checking care needs of patients in hospital settings on a regular basis. Design An integrative literature review conducted following the Joanna Briggs Institute manual. Data sources A literature search from 2000 – 2017 was conducted using the following electronic databases: The Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature, ProQuest, PubMed, Informit, Sage and Scopus. Review methods Articles were assessed for quality and rigor using the Critical Appraisal Skills Program tool and the Effective Public Health Practice Project Quality Assessment tool for Quantitative Studies. A sequential explanatory mixed studies approach was used to combine qualitative and quantitative evidence in a single review. In‐depth parallel reviews of the quantitative and qualitative evidence were undertaken, and then a synthesis of the combined qualitative and quantitative evidence conducted. Results Intentional rounding has positive outcomes on patient satisfaction and safety. Nurses perceive benefits related to intentional rounding; however, some nurses perceive it as an additional, unnecessary task. The effectiveness of intentional rounding is influenced by external factors including leadership and formal rounding education, workload, ward layout, staffing and experience level. Conclusion Intentional rounding is a positive intervention in patient safety and satisfaction generally, but needs further research and consideration about actual impact, staff delegation, education and engagement, student nurse involvement, documentation and specializing the structure of intentional rounding.

“…Leadership teaching should include knowledge, skills, and attitudes. Although the mandate to delegate is essential to competent nursing, few undergraduates experience such education (Hasson et al 2013, Saccomano & Pinto-Zipp 2014 and have little practical experience (Johnson et al 2015). Registered nurses require formal education on delegation and transformational leadership in nursing practice.…”
