Abstract

Introduction: The ongoing evolution of Health Information Technology has provided professionals with major challenges in maintaining the safety and quality of care provided to patients, especially when it comes to hyper-technological environments in hospital. This has driven the need to develop specific competencies and maintain a balance between ethical aspects, social and legal challenges related to privacy and data security, as well as the challenge of ensuring person-centered care practice. Then it will be important to understand what competences nurses are developing, based on what models and what instruments exist to assess them.

Purpose: Identify and map information technologies and measurement instruments used to assess nurses' competencies in technological environments in hospital.

Methods: A scoping review was carried out using the methodology presented by The Joanna Briggs Institute.

Results: Of the 101 articles extracted, 4 articles were selected where 5 instruments were identified that evaluate: (1) Informatics Competency in Nursing Leaders; (2) Technological Competence as Nursing Care - Perception and Practice dimension; (3) Self-Assessment of Nursing Informatics Skills; (4) Clinical Decision Making in Nursing, and (5) Self-Assessment Questionnaire that Assesses Nurses' Informatics Skills, for nursing informatics.

Conclusion: The development and enhancement of technological skills in nursing care provide an innovative and crucial perspective for managing and organizing healthcare delivery. This perspective is of great importance, reinforced by the reality in which nurses find themselves, with highly technological nursing practice environments that are increasingly developed. Knowledge and use of IT equipment, areas of basic IT knowledge, information literacy, wireless device skills, the role of clinical IT, and applied IT skills are some of the skills identified by this study. The use of various support tools as instruments for clinical decision-making in nursing is also fundamental to the quality of nursing care.

护理实践中的信息技术:评估护士能力的评估工具的范围审查。
导言:健康信息技术的不断发展为专业人员提供了重大挑战,以保持向患者提供的护理的安全性和质量,特别是当涉及到医院的超技术环境时。这推动了发展特定能力的需求,并在道德方面、与隐私和数据安全相关的社会和法律挑战之间保持平衡,以及确保以人为本的护理实践的挑战。然后,根据现有的评估模式和工具,了解护士正在发展的能力将是很重要的。目的:确定和绘制用于评估医院技术环境中护士能力的信息技术和测量工具。方法:采用乔安娜布里格斯研究所提出的方法进行范围审查。结果:在提取的101篇文章中,选择了4篇文章,并确定了5种工具来评估:(1)护理领导的信息学能力;(2)技术能力作为护理的感知与实践维度;(3)护理信息学技能自评;(4)临床护理决策;(5)护士信息学技能自评问卷,研究护理信息学。结论:护理技术技能的发展和提高为管理和组织医疗服务提供了创新和重要的视角。这种观点是非常重要的,在护士发现自己的现实中得到加强,高科技护理实践环境日益发达。IT设备的知识和使用、基本IT知识领域、信息素养、无线设备技能、临床IT的作用和应用IT技能是本研究确定的一些技能。使用各种辅助工具作为护理临床决策的工具也是护理质量的基础。

Dynamic leadership will guide these necessary transformations. The Journal of Healthcare Leadership is an international, peer-reviewed, open access journal focusing on leadership for the healthcare professions. The publication strives to amalgamate current and future healthcare professionals and managers by providing key insights into leadership progress and challenges to improve patient care. The journal aspires to inform key decision makers and those professionals with ambitions of leadership and management; it seeks to connect professionals who are engaged in similar endeavours and to provide wisdom from those working in other industries. Senior and trainee doctors, nurses and allied healthcare professionals, medical students, healthcare managers and allied leaders are invited to contribute to this publication
