dc.description.abstractClinical handover is imperative to safety and quality of care. ‘Situation-Background-Assessment-Recommendation’ (SBAR) communication has been shown to improve the quality of handover. However, usefulness of tailoring the content of an SBAR form for communication between the postpartum acute care and community setting has not been studied. This descriptive mixed methods study evaluates the content validity of a tailored SBAR form and clinicians’ perception of the usefulness of the form to transfer psychosocial information between the postpartum acute care and community setting. In Phase One, an expert panel was employed to determine content validity. In Phase Two, focus group questionnaires and interview data were gathered from social workers and nurses. Findings from both Phases informed revisions. The SBAR form had excellent content validity. Focus group findings revealed multiple themes related to attitude about the usefulness of the form. Participants described the form as useful for improving the quality of clinical handover.en_US
