Evaluation of care technology applied to the nursing process in the light of best practices

Abstract

Objective: to unveil nurses' perceptions about the development of care technology to operationalize the nursing process. Methods: qualitative study, developed with seven intensive care nurses, through a focus group, based on a semi-structured script. The content analysis technique was used to interpret the data, in the light of the Best Practices framework. Results: the content of the focus group was organized into two categories of a priori analysis: Applying resolutive knowledge in the development of care technology for the nursing process and development of technology focused on the nursing process, based on the rational use of resources. Conclusion: nurses conceived care technology as best practice, considering that it was based on scientific evidence. It has developed collaboratively, with rational use of resources, based on a partnership with higher education institutions, and customized according to local context and needs.

Effectiveness, quality and implementation of pain, sedation, delirium, and iatrogenic withdrawal syndrome algorithms in pediatric intensive care: a systematic review and meta-analysis

“…Given the increasing digitalization of healthcare, several studies have described the need for optimizing the design and ensuring integration into the workflow, as this can impact the use and burden nurses (102). Involving staff in technology design (103,104) and implementation planning was recognized as a necessary strategy for improving implementation and sustainability efforts (104), which aligns with many process models in implementation science (105). Although, no studies directly evaluated algorithm implementation into the electronic health record, one study evaluating an integrated rounding checklist in the PICU showed improved outcomes for patients across many of the measured outcomes (106).…”

Technological innovation for workload allocation in nursing care management: an integrative review

“…The factors that influence technology acceptance are the perceive usefulness, the ease-of-use (Berg et al, 2017;Holden et al, 2016), and the participation of nurses in its design (Redley et al, 2019;Pendon et al, 2020). The human and organizational dimensions influence acceptance more than the technological dimensions (Handayani et al, 2018).…”
