“…The majority of patients are reassured when they feel that nurses clearly know their clinical conditions and treatments as it can be appreciated during the BSR . The same happens when patients, listening to the BSR, understand that the continuity of care is guaranteed, and that appropriate information is transferred among professionals . The BSR also represents an opportunity for patients to detect possible data inconsistencies, as well as mistakes and misunderstandings, and to provide further information and follow the care process .…”

“…For many participants, the BSR represents an opportunity to create a deeper connection and a sort of ‘alliance’ with nurses. Patients feel nurses take care of them and perceive that nursing care is tailored based on their needs ; in addition, the BSR allows patients to increase their knowledge regarding the value of care offered by nurses and to spend more time with them . In some cases, these interactions also create a sense of mutual support , increasing the comfort of patients involved in the process .…”

Background Bedside shift reports have been recently recommended to ensure handovers. However, no evidence summarising studies designed to determine the qualitative approaches capable of better understanding patient experience have been published to date. Aim The aim of this study was to acquire a deeper understanding of the experiences of patients regarding bedside shift reports. Data sources and review methods A systematic review of qualitative studies followed by a meta‐synthesis method based upon Sandelowski's and Barroso's guidelines was performed. Four databases were systematically explored (PubMed, CINAHL, Scopus and PsycINFO) without any limitation in time and up to the 31 August 2018. A total of 10 studies were included and evaluated in their methodological quality; then, a thematic synthesis was developed to synthetize the findings. Results Three major themes reflect patients’ experience regarding the bedside shift reports: (i) ‘Being involved’; (ii) ‘Being the centre of nursing care processes’; and (iii) ‘Experiencing critical issues’. Patients are supportive of bedside shift reports as a right, as an opportunity to be involved, and of being in the centre of the nursing care process. By designing and implementing bedside shift reports, nurses also have an opportunity to increase patient safety and to provide concrete proof of the advancements achieved by the nursing profession in recent years. Conclusions The bedside shift reports experience has been little studied to date from the perspective of patients. According to the findings, implementation of the bedside shift reports should include providing education to nurses with regard to the preferences and expectations of patients, as well as the critical issues that they can experience during the bedside shift reports. Presenting the bedside shift reports method, asking patient consent, discussing potential critical issues and the degree of involvement preferred at hospital admission, is strongly recommended.

“…The study was performed in a Cardio-thoracic ICU localized in a Joint Commission International accredited Academic Hospital in north-eastern Italy from August to November 2014. The experience of patients participating at the bedside handover is based on four main themes: (1) 'Discovering a new nursing i5dentity', (2) 'Being apparently engaged in a bedside handover', (3) 'Experiencing the paradox of confidentiality' and (4) 'Having the situation under control' [4]. With the handover performed at the bedside in a postoperative setting, two interconnected potential effects may be achieved with regard to patients, nurses and the nursing profession.…”

“…With the handover performed at the bedside in a postoperative setting, two interconnected potential effects may be achieved with regard to patients, nurses and the nursing profession. Nurses have a great opportunity to express their closeness to patients and to promote awareness of the important growth that nursing has achieved over the years as a profession and discipline [4]. Therefore, patients may better perceive nursing competence and feel safer during the postoperative care pathway.…”

Using research and QI projects allowed diverse findings to expand each other and identify gaps between research and heuristic knowledge. Our review showed the tension between standardising handovers and making them predictable for patient participation, while promoting tailored and flexible handovers. Further investigation of this issue is required, to understand how to train nurses and patient views. Many barriers and strategies identified were from QI projects and the nurse perspective, thus caution interpreting results is required. We recommend steps be taken in the future to ensure high quality QI projects.
