Evaluating Communication Training on Nursing Handovers

An invitation letter of communication training was sent to each nursing staff in the hospital. Those who agreed to attend the training were asked to submit a written consent form with their own signature. Subsequently, 206 participants joined our training program in 2017–18. A communication training program was conducted for nursing staff as a platform for recruiting participants using convenient sampling technique. Researchers conducted a paper-and-pencil survey aimed at evaluating the perceived effectiveness of communication training on handover among nursing staff. A validated Nurses’ Handover Perceptions Questionnaire (NHPQ) was adopted for the survey.
