Abstract

The on-call liaison process for nursing professionals is carried out as a method of providing information to incoming staff about news and relevant events that occur throughout the shift. Objective: To analyze the nursing shift liaison process and patient safety in the obstetrics and gynecology area of a hospital in the city of Guayaquil. Methodology: Quantitative, descriptive, nonexperimental, prospective, transversal, with a sample of 100 shift deliveries from nursing professionals in the gynecology-obstetrics area, using an observation guide from shift links. Results: The patient safety dimension had 66% that did indicate, 25% that did not indicate in the turn-over and 9% that did not apply; the nursing interventions dimension had 56% that did communicate and did not apply with 46% of the cases; the scheduled procedures and examinations dimension obtained 73.5% and not with 26%. Conclusion: The shift liaison process had an overall average of 65%, which could be qualified as insufficient, requiring improvement of this process in the dimension of safety and nursing interventions. The dimensions of scheduled procedures and examinations had 73.5, which could be qualified as regular.
