| dc.description.abstract | Bedside handover is one of nursing care activities which enhance nurse-patient
interaction at side of patient's bed during shift change activity. Patient may ask everything they want to know about their health condition, complain and request
for nursing care. However, the bedside handover sometimes cannot meet the patient's
need when a group of nurse hand in the nursing care plan to the following shift
nurses. This study aimed to describe bedside handover activities based on patient's
perspective in inpatient ward at one military hospital at Jember. This research used
a quantitative approach with a descriptive survey design. There were 100 respondents
recruited in this study using purposive sampling technique with criteria the
patients had received nursing care at least two days in the inpatient ward. Data
were collected using bedside report item survey questionnaire to measure bedside
handover based on patient perception. The results showed the median of bedside
handover was 33 (min-max = 10-40), indicated that the bedside handover from
patient's point of view was in good category. Basically, the nurses have implemented
