Description of the Implementation of Sbar Communication

Abstract

In the application of services that refers to patient safety, there are several standards that need to be implemented, one of which is the implementation of document handover using communication with the Situation, Background, Assessment and Recommendation (SBAR) method. Communication framework using SBAR method is used when the nurse performs a handover, moves the treatment room or reports the patient's condition to the doctor. This study aims to determine the description of the inpatient wards of PTPN VIII Hospital Subang. This was a descriptive quantitative study with cross sectional approach. Respondents were nurses in the inpatient wards as many as 50 people, taken with total sampling technique, and distributing questionnaire SBAR to nurses. This study was conducted at the PTPN VIII Hospital Subang from July 2020 to August 2020. The results of this study indicated that the implementation of SBAR communication was poor due the Situation component of the nurses did not mention the age, date of admission of the patient and the nursing diagnosis. Regarding the Background component, less than half of the nurses did not mention vital signs. Reaagarding the Aassessment component, a small number of nurses did not perform the latest patient assessment, and regarding the Recommendation component more than half of the nurses did not provide ideas or recommendations to improve nursing problems. It is expected that the nurse in charge of the nursing room can implement effective communication with the SBAR method continuously and further improve information and evaluation regarding the implementation of patient identification.
