The novel technology of the Internet of Things (IoT) connects objects to the Internet and its most advanced applications refine obtained data for the user. We propose that Internet of Things technology can be used to promote basic nursing care in the hospital environment by improving the quality of care and patient safety.
To introduce the concept of Internet of Things to nursing audience by exploring the state of the art of Internet of Things based technology for basic nursing care in the hospital environment.
Scoping review methodology following Arksey & O'Malley's stages from one to five were used to explore the extent, range, and nature of current literature. We searched eight databases using predefined search terms. A total of 5030 retrievals were found which were screened for duplications and relevancy to the study topic. 265 papers were chosen for closer screening of the abstracts and 93 for full text evaluation. 62 papers were selected for the review. The constructs of the papers, the Internet of Things based innovations and the themes of basic nursing care in hospital environment were identified.
Most of the papers included in the review were peer-reviewed proceedings of technological conferences or articles published in technological journals. The Internet of Things based innovations were presented in methodology papers or tested in case studies and usability assessments. Innovations were identified in several topics in four basic nursing care activities: comprehensive assessment, periodical clinical reassessment, activities of daily living and care management.
Internet of Things technology is providing innovations for the use of basic nursing care although the innovations are emerging and still in early stages. Internet of things is yet vaguely adopted in nursing. The possibilities of the Internet of Things are not yet exploited as well as they could. Nursing science might benefit from deeper involvement in engineering research in the area of health.
物联网(IoT)这项新技术将物体连接到互联网,其最先进的应用为用户优化所获取的数据。我们认为,物联网技术可通过提高护理质量和患者安全来促进医院环境中的基础护理。
通过探索基于物联网技术在医院环境中进行基础护理的技术现状,向护理人员介绍物联网的概念。
采用遵循阿克西和奥马利从一到五个阶段的范围综述方法,以探究当前文献的范围、广度和性质。我们使用预定义的搜索词搜索了八个数据库。共找到5030条检索结果,对其进行重复筛选和与研究主题相关性的筛选。选择265篇论文进行摘要的进一步筛选,93篇进行全文评估。挑选62篇论文进行综述。确定了论文的结构、基于物联网的创新以及医院环境中基础护理的主题。
综述中纳入的大多数论文是技术会议的同行评审论文集或发表在技术期刊上的文章。基于物联网的创新在方法学论文中有所呈现,或在案例研究和可用性评估中进行了测试。在四项基础护理活动的几个主题中发现了创新:全面评估、定期临床再评估、日常生活活动和护理管理。
物联网技术正在为基础护理的应用提供创新,尽管这些创新尚处于起步阶段且仍在早期阶段。物联网在护理领域的应用仍较为模糊。物联网的潜力尚未得到充分利用。护理科学可能会从更深入参与健康领域的工程研究中受益。
