An Examination of the Relationship Between Nurse-Nurse Collaboration and Intrahospital Transfer Safety: A Cross-Sectional Study
Öz
Aim: This study aims to explore the link between effective collaboration among nurses and the safety of intrahospital transfers.
Material and Method: This cross-sectional study, conducted between April 15, 2024, and June 28, 2024, included 501 nurses employed at a city hospital who agreed to participate. Data collection was carried out using the Personal Information Form, the Intrahospital Transfer Safety Scale, and the Nurse-Nurse Collaboration Scale.
Results: The average score on the Nurse-Nurse Collaboration Scale was 3.18 ± 0.55, while the Intrahospital Transfer Safety Scale had an average score of 3.01 ± 0.54. Nurses working in intensive care units outperformed their colleagues in the operating room, emergency department, and surgical wards on the Nurse-Nurse Collaboration Scale and also scored higher on the Intrahospital Transfer Safety Scale compared to those in the emergency department and surgical wards.
Conclusion: Inter-Nurse Collaboration was found to significantly enhance the safety of intrahospital transfers. Developing protocols to strengthen nurse collaboration is recommended to improve the quality of care in healthcare services.

Hemşireler Arası İş Birliği ile Hastane İçi Transfer Güvenliği Arasındaki İlişkinin İncelenmesi: Kesitsel Bir Çalışma
Öz
Amaç: Bu çalışma, hemşireler arası iş birliği ile hastane içi transfer güvenliği arasındaki ilişkileri araştırmayı amaçlamaktadır.
Gereç ve Yöntem: Bu kesitsel çalışma, 15 Nisan - 28 Haziran 2024 tarihleri arasında, bir şehir hastanesinde çalışan ve çalışmaya katılmayı kabul eden 501 hemşire ile gerçekleştirilmiştir. Araştırma verileri Kişisel Bilgi Formu, Hastane İçi Transfer Güvenliği Ölçeği ve Hemşire-Hemşire İş Birliği Ölçeği kullanılarak toplanmıştır.
Bulgular: Hemşire–Hemşire İş Birliği Ölçeği ortalaması 3.18 ± 0.55, Hastane İçi Transfer Güvenliği Ölçeği ortalaması ise 3.01 ± 0.54’tür. Yoğun bakımda çalışan hemşireler, diğer birimlerde çalışan hemşirelerden daha yüksek puan almıştır. Yoğun bakımda çalışan hemşirelerin Hemşire-Hemşire İş Birliği Ölçeğinden aldıkları puanlar ameliyathane, acil servis ve cerrahi servislerde çalışan hemşirelere göre, Hastane İçi Transfer Güvenliği Ölçeği’nden aldıkları puanlar ise acil servis ve cerrahi servislere göre daha fazladır.
Sonuç: Hemşireler arası iş birliğinin hastane içi transfer güvenliğini anlamlı düzeyde artırdığı bulunmuştur. Sağlık hizmetlerinde bakım kalitesini yükseltmek için hemşire iş birliğini güçlendirecek protokollerin geliştirilmesi önerilmektedir.
