Current Trends in Nursing II

3.2K
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

6.1K
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.

Stereotype Content Model02:16

Stereotype Content Model

15.2K
The Stereotype Content Model (SCM) was first proposed by Susan Fiske and her colleagues (Fiske, Cuddy, Glick & Xu, 2002; see also Fiske, 2012 and Fiske, 2017). The SCM specifies that when someone encounters a new group, they will stereotype them based on two metrics: warmth—or that group’s perceived intent, and how likely they are to provide help or inflict harm—and competence—or their ability to carry out that objective. Depending on the warmth-competence...

Area of Science:

  • Gerontology and Robotics
  • Health Informatics
  • Sociology of Technology

Background:

  • Care robots offer potential solutions for aging populations and caregiver shortages.
  • Dissemination of care robots and welfare technology is limited in Swedish elder care.
  • Understanding challenges is key to integrating assistive technology in elder care.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore the challenges of introducing welfare technology, specifically care robots, in elder care settings.
  • Identify barriers from the perspective of societal actors involved in elder care.

Main Methods:

  • Conducted 21 individual interviews with key societal-level actors.
  • Utilized thematic analysis to interpret interview data.

Main Results:

  • Identified individual/group challenges: technology beliefs, attitudes, ethics, collaboration, knowledge/skills.
  • Highlighted systemic/societal challenges: national governance, infrastructure, laws, economics, procurement.
  • Revealed preconditional challenges: utility, implementation, evaluation, safety, security, integrity.

Conclusions:

  • Care robot introduction is more complex than general welfare technology due to attitudes and preconceptions.
  • Addressing challenges across all societal levels is necessary for integrating care robots.
  • A user-centered approach is vital for designing and implementing effective care robots for older adults and caregivers.
