Background: Nurses as professionals provide care for patients in many areas of health care, from disease prevention to curative care. Nurses are communicating with each other and with other health care workers, in order to provide good nursing care for the patients. Communication between health care team workers requires competence and awareness of communication skills, for the safety and the well-being of the patients. Any failure in communications between health care team workers can directly or indirectly affect the patient negatively. The area of verbal hand-over reporting is considered as an important part of health care. Verbal handover reporting enables the exchange of patient information, and handing over nursing care responsibilities from one shift to another shift. Communication between nurses is a very important part in daily nursing care practice and can affect the quality of care, especially if there is miscommunication between the nurses which can affect patient safety. Aim: To describe nurses` experiences of communication during verbal hand-over reporting, on in-patient units. Method: Qualitative, semi-structured open ended interviews were carried out with ten participants. Content analysis method is used to analyse the data in this study. Result: The result of this study was shown according to the main themes which were selected. Three themes were identified from the data as a result of the nurse’s experiences during communicating the verbal hand-over reporting: Advantages of verbal communication in nursing hand-over reporting, challenges of verbal communication in nursing hand-over reporting, and the impact of verbal hand-over reporting on nursing care were studied. Conclusion: The hand-over verbal communication experienced between the nurses had many advantages which can be connected with nurses´ satisfaction in providing high quality care and that this reflects positively in patient’s satisfaction and safety. The points considered as challenges are related and connected to; miscommunication, misunderstanding, incomplete patient data and language issues. The advantages and challenges shown in the result section of this study are important factors to be taken into consideration, for further research in the area of communication in hand-over reporting. Further research in the field can lead to improved safety and quality of care for patients in hospitals in Saudi Arabia.
