摘要

数字卫生技术正在改变护理和助产实践的环境。在澳大利亚的医疗保健系统中，数字医疗技术的知识和采用程度各不相同。虽然护理和助产信息学在澳大利亚是一个新兴的专业，但人们对澳大利亚信息学角色的范围、角色和好处知之甚少。在整个澳大利亚，护理和助产信息学角色的范围、责任、好处和局限性是什么？方法采用范围综述法解决综述问题，采用混合方法评价工具指导纳入记录的概括性和解释。检索了2010年至2024年间与护理和助产信息学相关的五个医疗保健和数字健康数据库，以及灰色文献、参考文献和出版资源。发现四个记录部分解决了评审问题。护理和助产信息学家的范围、角色和责任仍然知之甚少。护士和助产士需要进一步了解数字卫生技术及其在不断变化的工作环境中的地位。无论护士和助产士目前的教育水平或角色如何，加强对数字卫生和信息学理解的专业发展活动将有助于解决这一差距。定义澳大利亚护理和助产信息学的标准化方法，包括信息学家的范围、角色和职责，将支持更好的理解、适用性和可用性。结论尽管文献支持需要专门的护理和助产信息学角色，但这些角色的证据和价值尚未被定义和量化。

Exploring Australian nursing and midwifery informatics roles: A scoping review

Background

Digital health technologies are changing the context of nursing and midwifery practice. There are varying degrees of knowledge and adoption of digital health technologies in Australian healthcare systems. While nursing and midwifery informatics is an emerging specialty within Australia, little is known about the scope, roles, and benefits of informatics roles in Australia.

Review question

What are the scope, responsibilities, benefits, and limitations of nursing and midwifery informatics roles throughout Australia?

Methods

A scoping review was used to address the review question, and the mixed-methods appraisal tool was used to guide generalisability and interpretation of included records. Five healthcare and digital health databases, as well as grey literature, reference lists, and published resources related to nursing and midwifery informatics between 2010 and 2024 were searched.

Findings

Four records were identified that partially addressed the review question. The scope, roles, and responsibilities of nursing and midwifery informaticians remain poorly understood.

Discussion

Nurses and midwives need further education about digital health technologies and their place in an ever-changing work environment. Professional development activities that enhance understanding about digital health and informatics would be beneficial to address this gap, regardless of nurses’ and midwives’ current educational level or role. A standardised approach to defining Australian nursing and midwifery informatics, including the scope, roles, and responsibilities of informaticians, would support better understanding, applicability, and usability within the workforce.

Conclusion

Despite literature supporting the need for dedicated nursing and midwifery informatics roles, the evidence and value of these roles are yet to be defined and quantified.

期刊介绍： Collegian: The Australian Journal of Nursing Practice, Scholarship and Research is the official journal of Australian College of Nursing (ACN). The journal aims to reflect the broad interests of nurses and the nursing profession, and to challenge nurses on emerging areas of interest. It publishes research articles and scholarly discussion of nursing practice, policy and professional issues. Papers published in the journal are peer reviewed by a double blind process using reviewers who meet high standards of academic and clinical expertise. Invited papers that contribute to nursing knowledge and debate are published at the discretion of the Editor. The journal, online only from 2016, is available to members of ACN and also by separate subscription. ACN believes that each and every nurse in Australia should have the opportunity to grow their career through quality education, and further our profession through representation. ACN is the voice of influence, providing the nursing expertise and experience required when government and key stakeholders are deciding the future of health.
