Abstract:
Background: Information technology is used in healthcare to solve the problems of an aging population, an increase in chronic illnesses, and the growing need for autonomy, independence, and quality of life. The adoption rate of IT applications among professionals such as nurses is relatively low, and it appears that not using them is the norm. Finding nursing care aspects and indications that have been altered by IT was our goal in doing this research.
Method: The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) statement (9) was adhered to in this systematic review. Our search objective was to locate papers that addressed nursing care aspects and indicators that were changed by IT. The search method was used in the Google Scholar, CINAHL, and PubMed databases between 2015 and 2023.
Result: Five publications were included in this systematic review. Four studies found elements related to teams that affect the adoption of telemedicine. The organizational and team culture is one of the main determinants of technology adoption. One study found that creative companies support employees in adjusting to new circumstances and that telemedicine implementation requires cultural transformation in enterprises. Implementing telemedicine in a company can be hindered by working in a changing environment and resisting change. Employees felt overwhelmed by all of the changes they experienced at work. Workloads increased as other advances were sometimes considered more significant than the use of telemedicine.
Conclusion: When technology is used improperly, nurses can get disillusioned with its use for tasks that are traditionally completed by humans. Therefore, if healthcare professionals want to include telemedicine into their regular workflow, they must remove hurdles.
