Abstract

Abstract: Nursing care transfer is crucial for patient care, as it involves communicating essential information. Therefore, the Situation, Background, Assessment, and Recommendation (SBAR) tool was developed to assist in the transfer of care and communication between health professionals. Objective: To summarize studies related to nursing care transfer, emphasizing the use of the SBAR method as a tool. Method: This is an integrative literature review, with data collection from the EMBASE, Web of Science, CINAHL, PubMed, and BVS databases. Based on selecting studies with inclusion and exclusion criteria, without temporal or idiomatic restrictions. The Rayyan QCRI software was used for selection and Microsoft Excel for data collection and analysis. Results: The results revealed variations in the implementation of the SBAR tool between countries, with adaptations to the local context, which include questionnaires and training. Significant benefits for patient safety were reported, such as improved communication between teams and reduced failures in the transfer of information and care. Conclusion: The studies analyzed suggest that it is an effective tool, and the implementation and adequate training of professional’s favor adherence and sustainability of use. Digital technologies also contribute to the adaptation, safety, and effectiveness of SBAR.
