Enhancing Nurses' Handoff Practices Through Simulation-Based I-PASS Training: An Evidence-Based Study.

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
aimTo evaluate whether simulation-based I-PASS handoff training improves ICU nurses' knowledge, perceptions of handoff communication and safety attitudes.
backgroundEffective handoff communication is crucial for ensuring patient safety and reducing errors. However, simulation-based training (SBT) with structured protocols, such as I-PASS, is rarely used in Egyptian nursing education, highlighting a gap.
designA quasi-experimental design was employed.
methodsA convenience sample of 57 ICU nurses was studied from June to December 2023. Data were collected using the I-PASS Handoff Knowledge Questionnaire, Perception of Handoff Communication Tool and Patient Safety Questionnaire. Nurses completed baseline assessments, participated in two simulation-based I-PASS scenarios and repeated assessments post-intervention. Statistical analyses examined the training's impact and its relationships with participants' socio-demographic characteristics.
resultsSignificant improvements were observed in I-PASS knowledge, perceptions of handoff communication and safety attitudes (all p < 0.001). Nursing qualifications and place of residence have shown a significant correlation with perceptions of handoff communication and safety attitudes (p < 0.05).
conclusionSimulation-based I-PASS handoff training significantly enhances ICU nurses' knowledge, perceptions of handoff communication and safety attitudes. Targeted, context-sensitive educational interventions are necessary to strengthen handoff practices and improve patient safety within the Egyptian healthcare system. RELEVANCE TO CLINICAL PRACTICE: Structured simulation-based training, such as I-PASS, can be effectively integrated into nursing education to standardise handoff communication and improve patient safety outcomes in intensive care settings. PATIENT OR PUBLIC CONTRIBUTION: No patient or public contribution.
