Brief summary
The goal of this non-clinical study is to determine whether the I-PASS communication method influences the improvement of handover quality among nurses. The main questions it aims to answer are: What are the perceptions of handover quality prior to implementing the I-PASS method? What are the perceptions of handover quality after using the I-PASS method? How do nurse characteristics (gender, age, education, employment status, length of service, and clinical nurse level) affect the improvement of handover quality perceptions when using the I-PASS method? What is the implementation retention of the I-PASS communication method? Is there a significant effect of the I-PASS communication method on nurses' perceptions of handover quality? Participants will: Participate in training sessions regarding the I-PASS communication method. Implement the I-PASS method during handover processes for two weeks. Complete questionnaires to assess handover quality.
Interventions
OTHERTraining I-PASS handoff bundle
The intervention proceeds of Training I-PASS handoff bundle in three phases: preparation, training, and evaluation. First, eligible nurses are recruited, provided with informed consent, and grouped by shifts. After a baseline assessment, participants undergo two 90-minute training sessions over two weeks. Next, the I-PASS method is implemented for 14 days, with compliance monitored through direct shift-based observations and checklists. Handover quality is measured via the Handover Evaluation Scale (HES) at three intervals: pre-test (baseline), mid-point (week two), and post-test (week three). Continuous researcher monitoring ensures protocol fidelity throughout the process.
