description Aim The aim of this study was to explore and test factors hypothesized to influence quality of Emergency Department nurse‐to‐nurse shift handover communication. Background Nurse‐to‐nurse shift handover communication includes the transfer of information and responsibility for patients at shift change. The unique environment of the Emergency Department, where there is a high degree of patient unpredictability, increased patient volumes and rapid patient turnover, can create challenges for high quality handover communication. There is considerable literature addressing handover communication and factors that influence quality or effectiveness. However, few studies have empirically tested those factors. Design A quantitative, cross‐sectional design was used to test a conceptual model of factors hypothesized to influence quality of handover communication. Methods In 2014, data were gathered using surveys mailed to Emergency Department nurses across Ontario, Canada. Results The final eligible sample was 231 of 576 for an overall response rate of 40.1%. Analysis was performed using backwards elimination stepwise multiple linear regression. Four statistically significant explanatory variables were retained in the final multiple regression model, explaining 34% (p
