Abstract

The aims of this pilot study were as follows: (a) to examine the design and utility of an intervention based on the Sensemaking model, and (b) to examine communication between nurses and physicians caring for residents in the nursing home.

Research Questions:

  1. Does communication improve from baseline after Sensemaking training (SBAR use) in the long-term care setting as perceived by nurses or physicians caring for nursing home residents?
  2. Following Sensemaking training in the use of SBAR, is Shared Meaning apparent in communication events about change in resident status by nurses and physicians working in a nursing home?
  3. To what extent are nurses and physicians satisfied with the Sensemaking intervention in terms of intervention length, content, and format and communication experience?
