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,...

Hospitals-II

Hospitals provide inpatient and outpatient services. Inpatient services provide care to patients that stay in the hospital for an extended period, ranging from days to months. Examples of inpatient services include intensive care units, hospital wards, or surgeries. Outpatient services provide care to patients who come to a hospital for a diagnostic or treatment but do not stay overnight —for example, diagnostic tests, surgical procedures, or health education.

The Professional Nurse

The Professional Nurse

Professional nurses are not limited to bedside care and are taking roles of greater responsibility. A nurse should have a knowledge-based practice, including personal, theoretical, procedural, cultural, and reflexive knowledge. Additionally, nurses must be competent in cognitive, technical, interpersonal, and ethical/legal skills. Some of the best attributes of successful nurses include the following:
Communication skills: These are critical characteristics, especially speaking and listening.

The Scientific Method in Nursing Process

The Scientific Method in Nursing Process

The scientific method provides the foundation for any research. It is the most reliable and objective of all forms of gaining knowledge and guides in applying research-based evidence in practice and conducting future research.
When using research findings to change practice, one must understand the process used to guide a study. The scientific method is a systematic, step-by-step process that supports the data's validity, reliability, and generalizability. As a result, findings can be...

Ethical Issues

Ethical Issues

Nurses are essential in patient care, upholding the ethical principles of their profession and effectively navigating ethical dilemmas. Neglecting ethical issues can lead to inadequate patient care, compromised therapeutic relationships, and moral distress among healthcare workers.

Area of Science:

Nursing Informatics
Healthcare Technology
Patient Safety

Background:

Smart beds with Internet of Things (IoT) integration are emerging technologies in healthcare.
Understanding nurses' perspectives is crucial for successful technology adoption in hospital settings.

Purpose of the Study:

To investigate nurses' perceptions of IoT-equipped smart mattresses.
To explore nurses' concerns and suggestions regarding smart mattress technology.

Main Methods:

A cross-sectional survey was conducted with 349 nurses in a tertiary hospital.
Data were collected via questionnaires, including open-ended questions for qualitative insights.
Descriptive statistics and content analysis were employed for data analysis.

Main Results:

Nurses demonstrated a high average intention to accept smart mattresses (12.5/SD 1.73).
Key expectations included reduced physical workload, enhanced work efficiency, and pressure ulcer prevention.
Concerns were raised regarding potential increases in workload and patient safety issues from device inaccuracies or malfunctions.

Conclusions:

Addressing nurses' perceptions and concerns is vital for the successful integration of smart mattresses.
Involving end-users in the design phase can improve the usability and adoption of new healthcare technologies.
Future development should focus on mitigating risks associated with false alarms and ensuring device reliability.
