Abstract
Background: A rapid but profound shift, driven by digital technologies integration, is occurring within healthcare environments, which presents nurses with opportunities, challenges, and difficulties. To meet the digital challenges, the digital resilience of clinical nurses plays an important role.
Purpose: This paper aims to conduct a comprehensive analysis of the concept of digital resilience of clinical nurses, including explaining its antecedents and consequences, constructing cases to make it more concrete and explicit, and finally extracting the key points of each section in order to construct a model for digital resilience of clinical nurses.
Methods: Walker & Avant's classical conceptual analysis was used to examine the attributes, antecedents, and consequences of digital resilience of clinical nurses.
Results: The digital resilience of clinical nurses is the positive power driven by intrinsic force when confronted with digital advancements in clinical environments, and its realistic performance is expressed as sustained dynamic feedback which consists of acquired behaviours. Digital resilience among clinical nurses empowers them to navigate the challenges of ongoing digital updates in healthcare environments.
Conclusions: This study has reviewed the core attributes and conceptual examples of digital resilience via the Walker & Avant's classical conceptual analysis methodology. The prospective model of digital resilience facilitates understandings of how nurses effectively navigate the sustained pressures arising from continual digital advancements within healthcare. The model should be further tested across diverse nursing communities to facilitate the development of tailored interventions. Such interventions, grounded in acquired behaviour performances and the activation of positive intrinsic power/force, are fundamental to nurses' digital resilience. Ongoing adjustments in response to sustained dynamic feedback remain equally critical.
