“…Distraction therapy for pain patients in hospital can be cited as an example for the use of this technology [43]. In education, VR is used primarily in terms of VR learning simulations [44][45][46]. In summary, most of the included technologies are for hospital care, informal care at home and residential long-term care.…”

Background: The existence, usage and benefits of digital technologies in nursing care are relevant topics in the light of the current discussion on technologies as possible solutions to problems such as the shortage of skilled workers and the increasing demand for long-term care. A lack of good empirical overviews of existing technologies in the present literature prompted us to conduct this review. Its purpose was to map the field of digital technologies for informal and formal care that have already been explored in terms of acceptance, effectiveness and efficiency (AEE), and to show the scope of the used methods, target settings, target groups and fields of support. Methods: A systematic literature search was conducted using Medline, Scopus, CINAHL, Cochrane Library, ACM Digital Library, IEEE Xplore, the Collection of Computer Science Bibliographies, GeroLit and CareLit. In addition, project websites were manually screened for relevant publications. Results: Seven hundred fifteen papers were included in the review. Effectiveness studies have been most frequently performed for ICT, robots and sensors. Acceptance studies often focussed on ICT, robots and EHR/EMR. Efficiency studies were generally rare. Many studies were found to have a low level of evidence. Experimental designs with small numbers and without control groups were the most common methods used to evaluate acceptance and effectiveness. Study designs with high evidence levels were most commonly found for ICT, robots and e-learning. Technologies evaluated for informal caregivers and children or indicated for formal care at home or in cross-sectoral care were rare. Conclusion: We recommend producing high-quality evaluations on existing digital technologies for AEE in real-life settings rather than systematic reviews with low-quality studies. More focus should be placed on research into efficiency. Future research should be devoted to a closer examination of the applied AEE evaluation methods. Policymakers should provide funding to enable large-scale, long-term evaluations of technologies in the practice of care, filling the research gaps for technologies, target settings and target groups identified in this review.

“…Although there are few direct studies on interface design of ITSs and adaptive systems, examples are available that examine the effectiveness and efficiency of the overall structure and content of the system (Roscoe, et al, 2014;Dexheimer, et al, 2017), investigate users' thoughts and satisfaction with the system (Lin, Wu & Hsueh, 2014;Sanchez, et al, 2014;Verkuyl, et al, 2016), and offer models for a more useful system design (Arevalillo-Herrarez, et al, 2017; Ramirez-Norigea, Juarez-Ramirez & Martinez-Ramirez, 2017).…”

This study aims at examining the usability evaluation process of ArtiBos, an adaptive intelligent tutoring system specifically designed for teaching of problem solving, and proposing usability evaluation recommendations accordingly. The study group consists of 90 students selected from 3 different secondary education institutions and 30 experts from the fields of Computer Education and Instructional Technology and Mathematics Teaching. The usability of ArtiBos is evaluated according to the criteria of effectiveness, efficiency, and satisfaction included in the definition of usability by the International Standards Organization (ISO). In this study, quantitative and qualitative data were used for triangulation. Study data included users' screenshots during performance of the instructed tasks in ArtiBos, sound recordings taken from the think aloud technique, interviews with students, and opinions of experts. The study elaborates the procedure of usability tests of ArtiBos and makes suggestions for usability evaluation processes of similar systems. The results are expected to guide researchers planning to carry out similar systems' usability studies.

“…[9,18] In addition, research indicates that faculty members should provide sound instructional design and usability testing to ensure positive user experiences. [19] A common feature of the current research is the focus on participants' experience and beliefs regarding different beliefs concerning different technology-based tools, often limited to the implementation phase. Thus far, little attention has been paid to observing student practices when using technology.…”

Background and objective: The use of technology has become the norm in nursing education. While technology has opened up for more flexible, active, student-focused teaching methods, its introduction has also brought challenges regarding its use and implementation. Recent literature has concentrated on how to best implement technology, but little attention has focused on observing student practices during technology use. Therefore, it is unknown how to optimize technology use within clinical skills training. The objective of this study was to investigate how groups of nursing students utilize a technology-based learning tool. Methods: An observational study with an exploratory design was implemented using video recordings as the data material. Results: The results indicated a high level of variability in nursing students' performance and ability to utilize a technological tool while working in groups. The variability during clinical skills training was associated with four factors: level of competence, motivation to learn, role clarification, and collaborative problem-solving skills. Conclusions: The results of the study indicated variability in groups of nursing students' ability to employ a technological tool during a selected procedure-namely, wound care and dressing. These findings suggest that a set of implications for faculty members should be developed. Specifically, staff and students should be prepared prior to using technology by focusing on group dynamics, group composition, development of collaborative problem-solving skills, and role modeling.
