Description
The purpose of this quantitative descriptive study was to identify if critical care telemetry nurses routinely used the recommendation stage of SBAR when communicating with cardiologists on the phone and face to face. Secondly, if the recommendation stage of SBAR was not used, what were the reasons for which the nurses omitted this stage? Imogene King's (1981) and Jean Baker Miller's (1986) theories provided the framework for this study. A convenience sample of 61 critical care telemetry nurses completed a self-administered researcher-developed questionnaire. The findings suggested that SBAR and the recommendation stage were not consistently used. The most common reasons for not giving a recommendation were feeling uncomfortable, feeling intimidated, and not knowing what recommendation to give. Younger and less experienced nurses felt most uncomfortable and intimidated. Helping nurses to feel more comfortable and less intimidated could improve communication between critical care telemetry nurses and cardiologists.
