Application of SBAR communication mode in the patients with acute myocardial infarction

Abstract

Objective To explore the application value of the situation-background-assessment-recommendation (SBAR) communication mode in the patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) . Methods Ninety-four cases of AMI patients who were hospitalized in the department of cardiology in Wuxi No.2 People's Hospital of Nanjing Medical University were included and were randomly divided into the conventional group and the SBAR group. There were 47 cases in each group. The patients in the conventional group were given the routine care; the patient in the SBAR group was given the SBAR communication mode. The nursing satisfaction and the incidence of adverse events in the 2 groups were compared. Results The nursing satisfaction in the SBAR group was 95.74%, which was significantly higher compared to the conventional group (70.21%, P<0.05) . The total incidence of adverse events in the SBAR group was 4.25%; in the conventional group the incidence was 25.53%. The difference between the 2 group was significant (χ2=6.42, P<0.05) . Conclusions The SBAR communication model can effectively improve the quality of the nurses' disease observation and the nursing satisfaction and reduce the incidence of clinical adverse events, which was worth clinical promotion.
