Purpose: Operating room nurses’ hand-off during surgery is inevitable, and it is very important to ensuring continuity of nursing care. This study aimed to identify the status of operating room nurses’ intraoperative hand-off.
Methods: This study used a cross-sectional descriptive survey. The data were collected through structured questionnaire from March 12 to April 30, 2018. Participants were 251 operating room nurses from 6 university hospitals.
Results: The mean scores of importance and appropriateness of and satisfaction with hand-off were 4.82±0.39, 3.65±0.56, and 3.32±0.50 respectively. During the operation, nurses need to hand-off and assist the surgeon at the same time, which was the important cause of the inappropriate hand-off. The importance of hand-off had a significant positive correlation with appropriateness (r=.17, p=.002) and satisfaction (r=.18, p=.004), and there was significant positive correlation between appropriateness and satisfaction (r=.43, p<.001). In addition, the recipient’s work difficulty had a significant negative correlation with the appropriateness (r=-.14, p=.005) and satisfaction (r=-.35, p<.001).
Conclusion: A standardized hand-off method is essential to ensure the continuity of operative nursing and improve the nursing practice. Future research is needed to examine the effectiveness of the intraoperative hand-off protocol.
