Abstract

Patient safety in nursing care is partly due to the implementation of good handovers. The implementation of a good handover is influenced by the good knowledge possessed by nurses in carrying out every nursing care activity needed by patients. This study aimed to determine the relationship between the level of nurses' knowledge and the implementation of patient handover in the treatment room of RSAD TK. IV DR. R. Ismoyo Kendari Hospital. This research method used a correlative analysis design with a cross-sectional approach conducted in all inpatient rooms of RSAD Hospital TK. IV DR. R. Ismoyo Kendari. This study considered all nurses in the treatment room as respondents, with a total of 29 people, using a total sampling technique. Data were collected using questionnaires and data analysis techniques using univariate and bivariate chi-square analyses with the SPSS program. The results showed that nurses’ knowledge was good (86.2) and quite good (13.8%), while the level of implementation of nurses' handovers was good (89.7) and quite good (10.3%). There was a positive relationship between nurses' knowledge and implementation of handovers p = 0.005 (p <0.05). Thus, it can be concluded that the better the knowledge possessed by nurses, the better is the implementation of handovers. Therefore, it is important for hospitals to focus on nurses’ knowledge, so that the implementation of nursing care can run well and increase of patient safety.
