Article:
Sand-Jecklin, K. & Sherman, J. (2014). A quantitative assessment of patient and
nursing outcomes of bedside nursing report implementation. Journal of Clinical
Nursing, 23, 2854- 2863.
The purpose of this study was to quantify the benefits of bedside nurse shift reporting. Given the
inadequacies of past studies, a larger sample size was utilized to enhance the statistical
significance of the results.
Research Design A “quasi-experimental pre- and post-implementation
design was used (San-Jecklin & Sherman, 2014, p. 2854).”
This model was used to determine a cause-and-effect
relationship between nurse bedside shift reporting and
multiple patient/family satisfaction indicators along with an
increase or decrease in patient safety (San-Jecklin &
Sherman, 2014).
Sample Selection 233 patients completed the ‘Patient Views on Nursing
Care’ survey at baseline (San-Jecklin & Sherman, 2014).
157 patients completed the three-month follow-up survey,
and 154 patients completed the 13-month follow-up survey
(San-Jecklin & Sherman, 2014). For patients, unable to
finish the questionnaire and as established in the research
protocols 70 patient family members completed
questionnaires at baseline with 72 completing the three-
month follow-up survey and 53 completing the 13-month
follow-up survey (San-Jecklin & Sherman, 2014). 148
nurses completed the ‘Nurse Assessment of Shift Report’
survey at baseline, with 98 nurses completing the three-
month follow-up survey and 54 nurses completing the 13-
month follow-up survey (San-Jecklin & Sherman, 2014).
Data Collection Methods Data was collected at baseline using the ‘Patient Views on
Nursing Care’ patient survey tool (San-Jecklin & Sherman,
