“…11 The majority of published studies have focused on the implementation of bedside handoffs 3,5,[12][13][14] and nurse perceptions of the process. 9,14,15 Several of the studies that reported on implementation and nurse perceptions also included anecdotal findings of patient perceptions.

Current literature on patients' perceptions of bedside handoff describes studies using qualitative, anecdotal, and/or indirect measurement. This study identifies patients' perceptions of the bedside handoff through direct and quantitative measurement. The statistically significant findings from a survey of 103 medical surgical adult patients demonstrate that registered nurse bedside handoff has a positive effect on patient perceptions of safety, understanding, and satisfaction. Bedside end-of-shift handoff is most effective when it is performed consistently.

“…6 Sharing report at the nurses' station puts nurses in close proximity and increases socialization among nurses. Report exchange at the nurses' station can be lengthy because nurses may inject personal opinions about the patient, may try to justify their actions, or may use the report time to air frustrations from the day.…”
