Abstract
Aim

The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of applying I Pass the Baton (IPB) on the quality of handoff among nurses.

Method

The present study was a quasi-experimental study. All nurses of the internal wards of Sanandaj educational hospitals, Kurdistan Province, Iran were selected by census method and randomly assigned to intervention (n=34) and control (n=31) groups. Handoff quality was measured by self-report and observation methods. The intervention included a face-to-face training session, training on how to use the IPB, inserting the IPB chart into the patient file, training leaflet, and installing a poster in the ward. The Situation, Background, Assessment, Recommendation (SBAR) was used according to routine practice in the control group. Descriptive and inferential tests were applied to analyze the data using SPSS-16.

Results

The mean score of handoff quality was 82.61±12.77 and 107.11±7.97 before and after the intervention in the intervention group (p<0.05) and 89.00±0.34 and 85.64±19.19 before and after the intervention in the control group, respectively (p=0.91). There was a statistically significant difference between the two groups after the intervention (p<0.05). Implementation of the training program and the IPB tool improved the handoff quality in terms of interaction and support, patient involvement, information quality, and efficiency.

Conclusions

The IPB has various indicators of patient participation and includes the criteria needed for patient evaluation. Therefore, it can be used to handoff a wide range of patients in the internal ward.

Resumen
Objetivo

El objetivo de este estudio fue investigar el efecto de aplicar el método “I Pass the Baton – IPB” (pasar el testigo) en la calidad del traspaso entre enfermeras.

Método

El presente estudio fue cuasi-experimental. Se seleccionó a todas las enfermeras de las plantas de medicina interna de los hospitales educativos Sanandaj, de la provincia de Kurdistán, en Irán, mediante el método de censo, asignándose aleatoriamente a los grupos de intervención (n=34) y control (n=31). La calidad del traspaso se medió mediante los métodos de autoreporte y observación. La intervención incluyó una sesión de formación presencial, formación sobre cómo usar el método IPB, insertar el cuadro IPB en el expediente del paciente, folleto de formación, y colocación de un póster en la planta. Se utilizó la técnica SBAR (Situation, Background, Assessment, Recommendation) de acuerdo con la práctica rutinaria en el grupo control. Se realizaron pruebas descriptivas e inferenciales para analizar los datos, utilizando SPSS-16.

Resultados

La puntuación media de la calidad del traspaso fue de 82,61±12,77 y 107,11±7,97 antes y después de la intervención en el grupo intervención (p<0,05), y de 89±0,34 y 85,64±19,19 antes y después de la intervención en el grupo control, respectivamente (p=0,91). Se produjo una diferencia estadísticamente significativa entre los dos grupos tras la intervención (p<0,05). La implementación del programa formativo y la herramienta IPB mejoraron la calidad del traspaso en términos de interacción y soporte, implicación del paciente, calidad de la información, y eficiencia.

Conclusiones

El IPB tiene diversos indicadores de participación del paciente e incluye los criterios necesarios para la evaluación del mismo. Por tanto, puede utilizarse para traspasar un rango amplio de pacientes en la planta de medicina interna.
