ABSTRACT

The necessity of effective communication in the handover between nurses is increasing in clinical practice. Feedback on what is good communication and how to communicate better is required. The purpose of this study is to develop an evaluation tool of handover communication between nurses. The establishment of evaluation criteria based on the perspectives of the staff nurses was systemized in a preceding qualitative research on the nurses’ experiences of handover communication. The communicative acts and norms that make good communication during nursing handover are based on this research. The evaluation items consist of two types of evaluation sections. One type of the criteria examines if necessary communicative acts are performed according to the individual communication phases. The other type of criteria is related to the overall evaluation of the whole handover communication. And these evaluation tools are generally verified through a content validity index by experts. This evaluation tool can be used for the education of nursing handover communication, and also as a tool for the repetitive estimation of their own handover communication, which is the presupposition for their long-term and continuous improvement of communication.
