Deficiency in the nurse's communication when transferring information can lead to serious consequences for the patient. It is often in transition between different teams or nursing units that deficiencies arise in the transfer of information, but the results of deficiencies can also arise throughout the care chain. The aim of this study was to elucidate the way in which SBAR facilitates nurse communication when transferring a patient within the health care system. This literature study was based on analysis of quantitative research. Seven quantitative articles were analysed using five step model by Friberg. The results of this study showed that SBAR helps the nurse to focus, prepare and structure the documentation and contributes to safer patient assessments. The use of SBAR leads to efficient reporting that promotes collaboration with other professions by making the message clear and structured. The conclusion was that by using SBAR as a communication tool for the nurse, patient safety increases.
