Background: Digital nursing technologies (DNT) comprise an expanding, highly diverse field of research, explored using a wide variety of methods and tools. Study results are therefore difficult to compare, which raises the question how effectiveness of DNT can be adequately measured. Methods currently used might not be sufficient for certain specific nursing contexts. A comprehensive outcome framework that shows the multitude of possible outcome areas could be useful to generate more comparable results. The aim of the present study is to develop an outcome framework for DNT and to indicate which outcome areas have been most frequently evaluated in previous studies and how this has been done. Methods: We combined an inductive and deductive approach to develop the framework. The numerical analysis is based on a scoping review focussing on the effectiveness of DNT for persons in need of care, formal or informal caregivers or care institutions. Nine databases were included in the screening: Medline, Scopus, CINAHL, Cochrane Library, ACM Digital Library, IEEE Xplore, the Collection of Computer Science Bibliographies, GeroLit and CareLit. Additional literature searches and expert interviews were included. Results: The developed framework comprises four outcome target groups and 47 outcome areas. There are considerable differences in the researched outcome areas for the individual outcome target groups. Persons in need of care were by far the most frequently surveyed, particularly with respect to their psychological health. There are much fewer studies on formal and informal caregivers, and it is particularly noticeable that the quality of life of both groups has rarely been investigated. Care process quality was most frequently researched for organisations.

“…Uluslararası hemşirelik literatürü incelendiğinde, Delfi tekniğinin sıklıkla, tekniğin tanıtılmasında, araştırma önceliklerinin belirlenmesinde, hemşirelikle ilgili farklı programların müfredatının belirlenmesinde, ölçek geliştirme sürecinde madde havuzunun oluşturulmasında, hemşireliğin farklı uzmanlık alanları için yetkinliklerin ve rollerinin belirlenmesinde, farklı hastalık ve bakım konularında önceliklerin belirlenmesinde, hemşirelikte rehber ve protokollerin geliştirilmesinde, belli bir alana yönelik kullanılacak hemşirelik tanılarının belirlenmesinde, sağlık sistemi ve bakımla ilgili problemlerin belirlenmesinde, kalite ve performans göstergelerinin belirlenmesinde kullanıldığı görülmektedir. (28)(29)(30) Web of Science'da "Delphi Study" anahtar kelimesiyle tarama yapıldığında 1333 makaleye ulaşılmaktadır, "nursing" anahtar kelimesi eklendiğinde ise 1992-2016 yılları arasında yayınlanmış 186 makaleye ulaşılmaktadır.

Delfi bir karar verme ve uzlaşma tekniğidir. Delfi tekniği, bir sorunun çözümü için uzman kişilerin yüz yüze görüşmeler ve bir arada tartışmalar yapmadan bir konu hakkında karar vermelerine ve uzlaşmalarına imkân sağlayan bir tekniktir. Bu tekniğin aşamaları; bir araştırma grubunun oluşturulması, çalışmanın yürütüleceği bir uzman grubunun seçilmesi, uzmanlara yönelik yapılandırılmış bir seri anketlerin uygulanması, anketlerin uygun yöntemlerle değerlendirilmesi, uzmanlara geribildirim yapılması ve uzlaşı sağlanan durumun raporlandırılmasından oluşmaktadır. Delfi tekniği hemşirelikle ilgili uygulama, araştırma, görüş alma, protokol oluşturma, ürün geliştirme, eğilimleri değerlendirme gibi pek çok alanda kullanılabilir. Bu derlemenin amacı; Delfi tekniğinin kullanım alanı ve amacı hakkında genel bilgi vermek ve ülkemizde delfi tekniğini kullanarak yapılacak araştırmalara kaynak oluşturmaktır.

“…The Delphi technique can synthesize the knowledge of a group of experts and is therefore widely used in the development of healthcare indicators (Boulkedid et al., 2011). Results of Delphi studies, which have focused on consensus building in the field of NSIs for example in paediatric hospitals (Wilson et al., 2012) or for nursing outcomes in general (Sim et al, 2018), have already been published by Australian researchers. Similar efforts have not yet been undertaken in the Swiss healthcare system.…”

Aims To identify indicators of nursing care performance by identifying structures, processes, and outcomes that are relevant, feasible and have the potential for benchmarking in Swiss acute hospitals. Design A modified Delphi‐Consensus Technique. Methods We examined 19 indicators based on the current evidence and that were pre‐selected by nursing scientists. Between August–October 2019, a consortium of experts (representatives of different cantons, hospitals, and healthcare roles in Switzerland) determined the relevance, feasibility, and suitability for benchmarking these indicators in two‐round modus of digital survey. Consensus was defined a priori by at least 75% agreement on the highest level of a 3‐point Likert‐type scale. Results The response rate was 70.4% in the first and 68.4% in the second round. In round one consensus was reached for three indicators on relevance but for none of the indicators regarding feasibility or potential for benchmarking. For round two, the experts suggested two additional indicators (new total of 21 indicators). Of 21 indicators, consensus was reached on twelve regarding relevance, seven regarding feasibility, and two regarding the potential for benchmarking. Conclusion A national expert consortium defined 12 of 21 nursing care indicators as relevant. Feasibility, however, was estimated only among seven indicators and a consensus on suitability for benchmarking was reached for two nursing‐sensitive indicators. Impact The results show how the indicators to evaluate nursing care performance, which have been identified as priority by Canadian nursing scientists, are assessed in a different setting. There are many overlaps, but also some differences in the assessment of the indicators between the different settings. Different health systems prioritize the indicators to evaluate nursing care performance differently, which is why national surveys are important for the compilation of their own (priority) indicator sets.
