| dc.description.abstract | Background: The bedside shift report is a standardized procedure to facilitate the successful transfer of information between nurses using the SBAR tool for communication. This study aimed to assess nurses’ knowledge about bedside shift reports in critical care units in governmental hospitals. Methods: This was a cross-sectional hospital-based study. The sample was collected from 179 nurses as total coverage from Omdurman Teaching Hospital, Ahmed Gasim Hospital, and Ibrahim Malik Teaching Hospital. A structured interview questionnaire was used as a tool for collecting data from the participants. The collected data were analyzed using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS, version 20), and the results were displayed as tables and charts. Results: Most participants held a Bachelor's degree (79%). A significant portion of nurses had less than 2 years of experience (80%). Only 13% of nurses had attended training related to bedside shift reports. The findings highlighted significant gaps in overall knowledge of bedside shift reports among participants, with the majority having a fair (64%) level of knowledge. The study found a significant association between both educational qualifications and years of experience with knowledge of bedside shift reports (p-value 0.050 and p-value 0.020, respectively). However, no significant association was found between attendance at training courses and knowledge levels (p-value 0.318). Conclusion: The study underscores significant gaps in nurses' knowledge regarding bedside shift reports, highlighting the urgent need for improved training. Addressing these deficiencies is essential for enhancing communication, ensuring patient safety, and improving the quality of care during shift transitions. | |
