Summary
Nurses are key to adopting digital and technological solutions (DTS) in healthcare. Positive attitudes, knowledge, and skills are vital for effective DTS integration into nursing practice.
Area of Science:
- Nursing Informatics
- Digital Health
- Healthcare Technology
Background:
- Digital and technological solutions (DTS) offer significant potential to enhance healthcare quality and efficiency.
- Integrating DTS into nursing practice requires understanding the facilitators and barriers to adoption.
Purpose of the Study:
- To map the existing literature on the adoption of digital and technological solutions (DTS) in nursing.
- To identify key factors influencing the integration of DTS across various healthcare settings.
Main Methods:
- A comprehensive scoping review following Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) guidance.
- Systematic searches across multiple databases (MEDLINE, Embase, CINAHL, Scopus, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, PROSPERO).
- Independent screening and data abstraction by two reviewers, with discrepancies resolved by a third; frequency and thematic analyses were performed.
Main Results:
- Nurses play a pivotal role in the introduction, implementation, and utilization of DTS.
- Positive attitudes, adequate knowledge, competencies, self-efficacy, and appropriate behaviors are crucial for effective DTS incorporation into nursing.
Conclusions:
- Findings provide a basis for future research on DTS adoption in nursing.
- Supports the development of evidence-based strategies for improving nursing practice through DTS.
- Proposes the Digital and Technological Framework (Digitech-F) to guide the effective adoption of DTS by healthcare professionals.

1.3K
The nurse documents nursing diagnoses and enters them into the patient record. The identified patient's nursing diagnosis is either written out with a plan of care or entered into the electronic health record.
In some settings, data-driven computerized decision support systems are in place, allowing for more accurate nursing diagnoses. The database within one of these systems includes diagnostic labels defining characteristics, activities, and indicators for nursing. A nurse enters...
