Exploring Practices During Nursing Handovers in Critical Care: An Anthropological Study

Combining structured and narrative-based handover training may empower nurses, preserve mentoring and role-modelling functions and sustain professional visibility-particularly relevant in the post-COVID-19 era, where digital and hybrid communication models increasingly shape critical care practice.
