Implication

Cross-sectional study reveals SBAR training and hospital setting predict communication satisfaction among nurses, highlighting the need for institutional workflow integration.

Key Points

To examine nurses' perceptions, satisfaction, and perceived barriers regarding SBAR communication across intensive care unit and non-intensive care unit environments.
Conducted a multicentre cross-sectional survey using a convenience sample of 208 nurses from two Palestinian hospitals.
Assessed sociodemographic details, clinical satisfaction, perceptions, and perceived communication barriers via a structured questionnaire.
Evaluated predictors of satisfaction and perception scores using nonparametric tests and multivariable linear regression.
Nurses reported a median satisfaction score of 95 (IQR 89.0–102.0) and a median perception score of 36.0 (IQR 33.0–39.0), with highest satisfaction observed in nurses aged 25–29 years (p < 0.001) and those with 3–5 years of experience (p = 0.001).
Multivariable linear regression confirmed that hospital site and prior SBAR training were independent predictors of both perception and satisfaction scores.
High rates of uncertainty were noted regarding barriers, with 42.3% and 41.8% of participants answering 'I do not know' regarding time constraints and delayed physician responses, respectively.
