Abstract:
Tracking systems in people with dementia in long-term care - Update of an integrative review Abstract. Background: This article is an update of the article by Hülsken-Giesler et al. (2019) and describes the latest findings on tracking systems in inpatient long-term care.
Research Question:
The research question also follows on from the underlying article and again deals with the application of tracking systems and their consequences for residents and nursing staff.
Methods:
A systematic literature search in the databases MEDLINE via PubMed and CINAHL as well as a hand search for the period starting in August 2017 was performed. The included literature was evaluated by two independent persons regarding content and methodology.
Results:
In addition to deductive categories from the underlying work, further inductive categories could be formed and thus ethical and implementation aspects could be included.
Conclusion:
Since the first analysis, the focus in nursing science studies on the use of tracking systems in inpatient long-term care has shifted to ethical aspects. Also, the successful and long-term integration into care practice is now relevant.
