Current Trends in Nursing II

Current Trends in Nursing II

Trends in nursing are multifactorial and associated with changes in society, within the nursing profession, and in other professions. Notably, telehealth and remote nursing contribute to successful healthcare delivery for numerous patients and help reduce stress for nurses due to nursing shortages. Nurses can reach patients, monitor their conditions, and interact with them using computers, audio, visual accessories, and telephones—for example, remote patient monitoring systems. Likewise,...

Issues And Trends In Healthcare Delivery System

The issues and trends in healthcare delivery are constantly changing. The COVID-19 pandemic is one recent issue that wreaked havoc on healthcare systems, causing a shortage of healthcare workers, high demand for medicines and supplies, and increased medical expenditure due to a lack of insurance. Other issues include rising healthcare costs and care fragmentation.
Cost Containment
Payment for healthcare services has historically promoted adoption of costly and often unnecessary or inefficient...

Empathy

Empathy

Some researchers suggest that altruism operates on empathy. Empathy is the capacity to understand another person’s perspective, to feel what he or she feels. An empathetic person makes an emotional connection with others and feels compelled to help (Batson, 1991). Empathy can be expressed in several ways, including cognitive, affective, and motor.

The Influence of Cognition on Affect

The Influence of Cognition on Affect

Cognition plays a pivotal role in shaping emotional experiences, as demonstrated by Schachter and Singer’s two-factor theory of emotion. According to this model, emotion arises from a combination of physiological arousal and cognitive interpretation. The body’s physiological response to stimuli is ambiguous and only gains emotional significance through cognitive labeling. For instance, an increased heart rate and adrenaline surge while standing near an attractive person may be interpreted as...

Background:

Telecare and lifestyle monitoring systems are increasingly important for patient well-being.
Older adults are increasingly adopting computer technology for daily activities.
Detecting and monitoring patients' emotional states can significantly improve care.

Purpose of the Study:

To advocate for the integration of new emotive computing technologies into telecare and lifestyle monitoring.
To explore the potential of using existing computer interfaces for emotional state detection.
To highlight opportunities for enhancing monitoring systems and identifying patient needs.

Main Methods:

Proposing the integration of emotive computing elements with standard computer hardware like keyboards and webcams.
Leveraging the widespread use of home computers among the elderly population.
Analyzing data from combined sources to identify changes in user status and emotional state.

Main Results:

Emotive computing can be integrated with ubiquitous home computing devices such as keyboards and webcams.
Keyboards offer an economical and non-intrusive method for collecting emotional state data.
Combining emotive data with other information sources presents significant opportunities for system enhancement.

Conclusions:

The integration of emotive computing into telecare offers a promising avenue for improved patient monitoring.
Utilizing existing computer infrastructure, particularly keyboards, provides a practical and cost-effective approach.
Enhanced monitoring systems can lead to earlier identification of patient needs and changes in status.
