OBJECTIVES
To discuss recent technological advances in quality of life (QOL) data collection and guidance for use in research and clinical practice. The use of telephone-, computer-, and web/internet-based technologies to collect QOL data, reliability and validity issues, and cost will be discussed, along with the potential pitfalls associated with these technologies.
DATA SOURCES
Health care literature and web resources.
CONCLUSION
Technology has provided researchers and clinicians with an opportunity to collect QOL data from patients that were previously not accessible. Most technologies offer a variety of options, such as language choice, formatting options for the delivery of questions, and data management services. Choosing the appropriate technology for use in research and/or clinical practice primarily depends on the purpose for QOL data collection.
IMPLICATIONS FOR NURSING PRACTICE
Technology is changing the way nurses assess QOL in patients with cancer and provide care. As stakeholders in the health care delivery system and patient advocates, nurses must be intimately involved in the evaluation and use of new technologies that impact QOL and/or the delivery of care.
目的
讨论生活质量 (QOL) 数据收集方面的最新技术进展，并为研究和临床实践提供使用指导。本文将讨论使用电话、计算机和基于网络/互联网的技术来收集 QOL 数据的相关问题，包括可靠性和有效性问题以及成本问题，并探讨这些技术所涉及的潜在缺陷。
资料来源
医疗保健文献和网络资源。
结论
技术为研究人员和临床医生提供了一个机会，可以从以前无法获取的患者那里收集生活质量数据。大多数技术都提供了多种选择，例如语言选择、问题呈现格式选项和数据管理服务。选择适合研究和/或临床实践使用的技术主要取决于生活质量数据收集的目的。
对护理实践的意义
技术正在改变护士评估癌症患者生活质量并提供护理的方式。作为医疗保健系统的利益相关者和患者代言人，护士必须密切参与评估和使用影响生活质量和/或护理提供的新技术。
