- PublicationAccès libreAdaptability of nursing shift handovers: theoretical insight from organization scienceNursing shift handovers are institutional routines aimed at the transfer of patient information and responsibility among teams of caregivers at the change of shift. They are essential to patient safety and a priority concern for regulatory institutions. Standardization of information transfer during nursing shift handovers is now mandatory in many hospitals. But to date, no study has shown that standardized handover protocols actually improve patient condition. In organization science, research on contingency theory has shown that standardization is efficient only when uncertainty is low This paper examines how the research on handovers and practical design of handovers could be informed by approaches stemming from contingency theory. The following aspects of adaptability are proposed for more thorough investigation in relation to uncertainty in the unit: adaptability of functions, adaptability of contents, and adaptability of structure.

; Participants in conversation who recurrently discuss the same targets require fewer and fewer words to identify them. This has been attributed to the collaborative elaboration of conceptual pacts, that is, semantic coordination. But participants do not only coordinate on the semantics of referring expressions; they also coordinate on how to do the task, that is, on procedural coordination. In a matching task experiment (n = 22 dyads), we examined the development of four aspects of procedural coordination: Card placement (CP), implicit generic coordination (IGC), explicit generic coordination (EGC) and general procedural coordination (GPC) in two conditions (the classic condition where targets remain the same over trials, and a new cards condition, where they change at each trial, thus increasing the difficulty of semantic coordination). Procedural coordination constituted almost 30% of the total amount of talk in the matching task. Procedural coordination was more effortful when semantic coordination was more difficult and the four aspects of procedural coordination developed differently depending on participant roles. - PublicationMétadonnées seulementTask uncertainty and communication during nursing shift handovers(2012-9-1)

To document the prevalence of perturbations of handover meetings and understand how nurses manage temporal, physical and social meeting boundaries in response to perturbations.
Background
Handovers are joint activities performed collaboratively by participating nurses. Perturbations of handover are frequent and may potentially threaten continuity of care.
Design
We observed and videotaped handovers during five successive days in four nursing care units in two Swiss hospitals in 2009.
Methods
Videorecordings were transcribed. All perturbations during the handovers were noted. We performed content analysis of the sources of perturbations from the notes and interactional micro-analyses of handover interactions based on video and transcripts.
Results
Nurses are the most frequent sources of perturbations during handovers. Perturbations are collaboratively managed. A tacit division of labour is enacted via multimodal communication strategies, whereby perturbations are dealt with using both linguistic and bodily signals.
