Promoting patient involvement through person-centred handovers in nursing

摘要

Nurse handovers are a routine form of communication and information exchange that occurs when one nurse hands over the responsibility of care for a patient to another nurse, for example at the end of a nursing shift.1 In daily practice, different models of handover are used. Evidence on nurses' perspectives of person-centred handover (PCH) models, which incorporate and promote a greater degree of patient involvement than traditional professional-professional handover models, however, is sparse.
