AB - Purpose : This study was conducted to identify the status of nursing handover in the ROK military hospitals and nurses' perception, experience level and causes of nursing handover errors. Methods : The subjects were 137 nurse officers and civilian nurses who were working in general wards of two military hospitals. In total, 110 data were used in the statistical analysis. Results : Only 8.2% of the respondents reported that they covered all the patients during their nursing handover process. The average handover time was 19.2±12.0 minutes. 59.8% of the respondents were found to use no written guideline or checklists during their nursing handover in the wards. The nurses perceived that their nursing handover was efficient (5.21±0.68), informative (5.13±0.69), and interactive and supportive (4.86±0.86). On the other hand, they expressed that their patients were rarely involved in the handover process (3.61±0.87). The experience of making a phone call to the preceding nurse for unclear or omitted information demonstrated the highest score (1.76±0.50) in experience related to nursing handover errors. The nurses indicated 'heavy workloads (3.54±0.96)', 'many interruptions of handover (3.31±1.00)', 'stress and fatigue (3.24±0.89)', 'personal disposition (3.15±0.99)' as the main causes of handover errors. Conclusion : The results of this study suggest that it is necessary to develop a standardized nursing handover protocol to promote patient safety by preventing errors in nursing handover.
