Qualitative research studies subjects in a natural settings and presents data that describes the feelings of its subjects towards the research topic in words rather than in numbers (LoBiondo-Wood & Haber, 2014). This research study gathers the feelings and perspectives of family members on the advantages of incorporating nursing bedside handover with enhancing the care of the patient. This study is qualitative in nature and included the gathering of data by means of interviews, observations and field notes of participants in their natural role of visiting a patient who was a relative (Tobiano, Chaboyer, & McMurray, 2013). This study evaluates, through personal reflection and experience, the significance that bedside handover has on not only patient care, but on family members as well.

A qualitative research process involves the review of literature, collect and analyze data, studies findings, and derive conclusions that will have an impact on the nursing practice (LoBiondo-Wood & Haber, 2014). This article contains all the components above and uses a systematic review of numerous qualitative studies to gather word descriptive evidence that describes the transfer of knowledge between nursing shifts (Holly & Poletick, 2014). The aim of this study was to study the experiences of nurses during handoffs by processing information from interviews conducted with over 300 nurses. Data collected was broken down in an effort to understand the process experienced by nurses during handoff and it’s affect on improving quality and safety in patient care (Holly & Poletick, 2014).
