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,...

Nursing Clinical Information System

Nursing Clinical Information System

Nursing Clinical Information System (NCIS)
A Nursing Clinical Information System (NCIS) is a specialized type of healthcare information system tailored to meet the unique needs of nursing practice. It incorporates the principles of nursing informatics to streamline information management and improve the quality of care delivery.
Critical attributes of NCIS include:

Nursing Implementation

Nursing Implementation

Implementation is the execution of the nursing care plan developed during the planning phase.
The five steps to implementing effective nursing care include reassessing the patient, reviewing and revising the existing nursing care plan, organizing the resources and care delivery, anticipating and preventing complications, and implementing nursing interventions.

Aims Of Nursing

Aims Of Nursing

Nursing involves independent, cooperative, person-centered care for people of all ages, families, groups, and communities. Nurses assist the sick or the well person in all settings. Nursing includes promoting health, preventing illness, and caring for ill, disabled, and dying people. Health promotion encourages people to take responsibility for their health. It focuses on the healthy behavior of individuals, families, and the community and the factors that impact their health. Examples of...

Hospitals-II

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.
Nurses that work in...

Area of Science:

Robotics in Healthcare
Nursing Informatics
Clinical Engineering

Background:

Global nursing shortages necessitate innovative solutions.
Nursing robots offer a potential strategy to alleviate workforce pressures.
Limited empirical data exists on nursing robot capabilities and workload replacement in hospitals.

Purpose of the Study:

To identify nursing care tasks manageable by current nursing robots in adult wards.
To quantify the potential reduction in nursing workload achievable with these robots.

Main Methods:

A two-phase study combining a scoping review of 10 databases and a cross-sectional survey.
Identification of nursing robots suitable for general adult hospital wards.
Measurement of 24-hour nursing workload across 72 wards in six Chinese hospitals.

Main Results:

199 studies were reviewed, identifying 26 nursing functions performable by robots.
Data from 7073 patients indicated 26 nursing robots could substitute for 62.37% of per capita nursing workload.
Robotic capabilities vary, with some requiring adaptation to clinical demands.

Conclusions:

Nursing robots show significant promise for general adult wards.
Strategic development and integration are crucial for maximizing robotic assistance.
Nursing management requires adaptation, including training and defining new competencies for specialized roles.
