Abstract

PURPOSE
This study was conducted to develop a handoff education program for nursing students and examine the effects of it on nursing students'self-efficacy, communication ability, and clinical performance ability.
METHODS
A quasi-experimental design was used with a nonequivalent control group pretest-posttest method. The experimental group (n=31) received handoff education using SBAR; the control group (n=31) received non-SBAR handoff education. Self-efficacy, communication ability, clinical performance ability were measured to evaluate the effects of the program.
RESULTS
The experimental group showed significant improvements in self-efficacy (p<.001), and communication ability (p=.025) compared to the control group. However, there was no significant difference in the clinical performance ability between the groups (p=.618).
CONCLUSION
The results indicate that the handoff education program using SBAR is effective in improving nursing students'self-efficacy and communication ability.
