Effect of ISBAR Clinical Handover Application on Nurses' Perception of Communication and Attitudes toward Patient Safety at Emirates Maternity Hospital in Gaza Strip, Palestine.
Article in Ethiopian journal of health sciences, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Background: Good communication is necessary for safety and quality of health. This study aims to determine the effect of ISBAR communication on nurses' perception of communication and attitudes toward patient safety in the Emirates Maternity Hospital in the Gaza Strip, Palestine. Method: A single-group hospital-based intervention study (pre and posttest) was conducted. A census sample was used Participants opinions about the effect of ISBAR were gathered using two tools established by Shortell, Rousseau, Sexton, and Helmreich to assess the communication awareness and nurses' attitudes towards safety, respectively, before and after the use of the ISBAR program. Results: After the ISBAR application, nurses' perception of communication demonstrated a positive and significant increase in the three sub-items (openness, accuracy and understanding, and shift communication) in the nurse-nurse communication. Moreover, in four sub-items (openness, accuracy, and understanding, timeliness, and satisfaction) in nurse-doctor communication, (p < 0.05). Further, the nurses' attitudes toward patient safety showed a significant and positive increase in teamwork climate (p<0.001), safety climate (p = 0.007), job satisfaction and working condition (p<0.001), stress recognition (p= 0.008), and perception of management (p = 0.001). Conclusion: The results provide significant evidence of the positive effects of the ISBAR program in improving nurses' perceptions of communication and attitudes toward patient safety. It is recommended that healthcare providers use ISBAR communication in their practice. Moreover, periodic training programs are required for effective ISBAR communication among the healthcare team.
