  • Title: The SBAR communication technique: teaching nursing students professional communication skills.
    Author: Thomas CM, Bertram E, Johnson D.
    Journal: Nurse Educ; 2009; 34(4):176-80. PubMed ID: 19574858.
    Abstract:
    The Joint Commission and Institute for Healthcare Improvement have mandated healthcare organizations to improve professional communication. Nursing students lack experience in communicating with physicians. As a result, recent graduates may not be prepared to meet the demands of professional communication to ensure patient safety. The authors discuss the SBAR (situation, background, assessment, recommendations) communication technique implemented during a 2-day simulation exercise that provided an organized logical sequence and improved communication and prepared graduates for transition to clinical practice.
