Aim: To explore the effect a mind mapping technique combined with SBAR shift turnover mode on reducing nursing defects in bedside shift turnover after cardiac stenting in cardiology. Methods: This quasi-experimental study retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 96 patients who received cardiac stenting in our hospital from August 2022 to August 2023. According to time of admission, patients were divided into an observation group (OG, n=48) and a control group (CG, n=48). Fourteen nurses participated and were matched by professional level, then randomly assigned to the OG and CG (n=7 per group). The CG adopted the traditional mode of shift turnover. Based on the CG, the OG implemented the mind map combined with the SBAR shift turnover model. The quality of shift turnover, nurses' mastery of patient conditions, handover time, defect rate of shift turnover, incidence of nursing adverse events and complaints, and patient satisfaction between the two groups were compared. Results: Compared with the CG, the OG showed higher scores for shift turnover quality and mastery of patients' conditions, shorter handover time, and higher patient satisfaction (P<0.05). The defect rate of shift turnover and the incidence of nursing adverse events and complaints were lower in the OG, but these differences were not statistically significant. Conclusion: In this single-center study, integrating a mind map–supported SBAR handover into bedside shift reports was associated with shorter handover time, fewer observed handover defects, and higher patient satisfaction. These findings suggest potential clinical benefit for communication safety after cardiac stenting; however, conclusions should be interpreted cautiously given the small nurse-level sample and study design.
