Abstract

‘Interruption’ is a well described phenomenon within health-care.
This study describes a field study in which nurses at a surgical ward desired to
gain insights to what they experienced as interruptions from phone calls of the
coordinating nurse. Employing an effects-driven approach data about the
frequency and types of phone calls was collected using a tailored experience
sampling tool. The data as well as the data became a way for the nurses to learn
about the problem and use it as a stepping stone for discussing possible
solutions.
