In this study, patients strongly preferred handover at the bedside, while the nurses considered patients to be invited to participate to be the most important preference but generally preferred handover to take place away from the bedside, all else equal. When implementing bedside handover in a Swedish context this must be considered, although participation is a prerequisite for bedside handover. Differences between patients and nurses' preferences could jeopardize future introduction of bedside handover in Swedish health care, and might explain why bedside handover is still not very common in hospital wards.
