摘要

BackgroundNurse bedside handover quality is influenced by complex interactions related to the content, processes used and the work environment. Audit tools are seldom tested in ‘real’ settings. ObjectiveExamine the reliability, validity and usability of a quality improvement tool for audit of nurse bedside handover. DesignNaturalistic, descriptive, mixed-methods. SettingSix inpatient wards at a single large not-for-profit private health service in Victoria, Australia. ParticipantsFive nurse experts and 104 nurses involved in 199 change-of-shift bedside handovers. MethodsA focus group with experts and pilot test were used to examine content and face validity, and usability of the handover audit tool. The tool was examined for inter-rater reliability and usability using observation audits of handovers across six wards. Data were collected in 2013–2014. ResultsTwo independent observers for 72 audits demonstrated acceptable inter-observer agreement for 27 (77%) items. Reliability was weak for items examining the handover environment. Seventeen items were not observed reflecting gaps in practices. Across 199 observation audits, gaps in nurse bedside handover practice most often related to process and environment, rather than content items. Usability was impacted by high observer burden, familiarity and non-specific illustrative behaviours. ConclusionThe reliability and validity of most items to audit handover content was acceptable. Gaps in practices for process and environment items were identified. Context specific exemplars and reducing the items used at each handover audit can enhance usability. Further research is needed to develop context specific exemplars and undertake additional reliability testing using a wide range of handover settings. What is already known about this topic?The quality of nurse bedside handover is influenced by complex interactions related to the content, processes used and the work environment.?Standardised handover tools to guide training, coaching and audit provide a consistent framework of behaviours, content and processes in line with expectations of quality practice.?Reliable and valid handover quality improvement tools are necessary to provide quality data to improve patient safety and quality of care, however these are seldom examined in the context of daily practice. Contribution of the paper?High content and face validity of the handover audit tool provides guidance to standardise practices to improve the quality of nurse bedside handover related to content, process and environment across different clinical contexts.?This research demonstrated nurse handover practices related to content were most frequently addressed, but gaps related to handover process and environmental safety emerged.?Tool reliability was acceptable for frequently observed content items, however practice improvement is required before further reliability analysis can evaluate process and environment items.
