Abstract

Purpose:

Technological advances have led to the adoption of telemonitoring devices for fall prevention. Multiple previous studies looked at the effectiveness of these devices. However, few studies looked at nursing staff perceptions of the technology. The current integrated literature review examined factors that influence nurses' and nursing staff's acceptance of telemonitoring technology for fall prevention.

Method:

Three databases (CINAHL, Embase, and PubMed) were searched from January 2010 through September 2023. Study themes were analyzed, and study quality was appraised. Thirteen articles were identified and analyzed.

Results:

Nurses' perceptions included positive, negative, and mixed views of tele-monitoring technology. Key factors influencing staff perceptions of telemonitoring technology include the effectiveness of the technology at improving patient safety, its ease of use, and the degree to which staff felt supported by nursing leadership and hospital administration.

Conclusion:

Findings demonstrate the importance of involving nurses in decisions regarding implementation of new technology. [Journal of Gerontological Nursing, 50(4), 6–10.]

护士对减少住院病人跌倒的远程监控设备的看法：文献综述

目的：技术的进步促使人们采用远程监控设备来预防跌倒。之前有多项研究探讨了这些设备的有效性。然而，很少有研究关注护理人员对该技术的看法。目前的综合文献综述研究了影响护士和护理人员接受预防跌倒远程监控技术的因素。方法：检索了从 2010 年 1 月到 2023 年 9 月的三个数据库（CINAHL、Embase 和 PubMed）。对研究主题进行了分析，并对研究质量进行了评估。结果：护士对远程监控技术的看法有积极的、消极的和混合的。影响员工对远程监护技术看法的关键因素包括该技术在提高患者安全方面的有效性、其易用性以及员工感受到护理领导和医院管理部门支持的程度。[老年护理杂志》，50（4），6-10。］
