Abstract anzeigen

Informations- und Kommunikationstechnik überbrückt Distanzen zwischen Patienten, Ärzten und Pflegekräften. Während in anderen Studien häufig Einzelanwendungen wie Telediagnostik, Telemonitoring oder Tele-Notärzte untersucht wurden, verfolgte das Projekt MeDiLand einen ganzheitlichen Ansatz. In dem vom Bayerischen Gesundheitsministerium geförderten Projekt (Juli 2018 bis Oktober 2020) wurden neue digitale Wege zur Verbesserung der Gesundheitsversorgung auf dem Land erprobt sowieu.a. Use Cases für den Telemedizineinsatz in der stationären Pflege erfasst. So wurden in einem intersektoralen, patientenzentrierten Netzwerk aus Arztpraxen, Pflegeheimen, Pflegediensten, Kliniken und einer Bergschutzhütte die audiovisuelle Kommunikation und die Übertragung von Vitaldaten erprobt. Neben der Vernetzung heterogener Leistungserbringer sind diverse Use Cases in der Pflege hervorzuheben.

Perspektive "Boomerang Hiring".

In: Pflegezeitschrift

(2023)

DOI: 10.1007/s41906-023-2028-3

Abstract anzeigen

Das "Boomerang Hiring", die Wiedereinstellung ehemaliger Mitarbeitender, ist von zunehmendem Interesse. Die Literatur ist jedoch limitiert, weshalb im Februar 2023 eine Social-Media-Umfrage unter Mitarbeitenden aus der Gesundheits- und Pflegebranche durchgeführt wurde. Ziel ist es, den Status quo des "Boomerang Hiring" zu beurteilen, die Wahrnehmung von Pflegekräften zu erfassen und Maßnahmen abzuleiten. In den Umfrageergebnissen zeigt sich, dass von 364 Teilnehmenden bereits 80 % Erfahrung mit der Rekrutierung von Ehemaligen hatten. Die Mehrheit (41 %) stand dem Ansatz positiv gegenüber. Empfohlen werden Strategien zur Kontaktaufnahme Ehemaliger (m/w/d) und ein wertschätzender Out- und Onboarding-Prozess, indem Kündigungsgründe aufgearbeitet werden.

Smarte Helfer: Serviceroboter im Einsatz.

In: Pflegezeitschrift (vol. 77) , pg. 54-58

(2024)

DOI: 10.1007/s41906-024-2608-x

Abstract anzeigen

Demografischer Wandel, Fachkräftemangel und Pandemien führen zu einer hohen Belastung der Pflegenden und zu Zeitknappheit in der direkten Patientenversorgung. Gleichzeitig verbringen Pflegende einen großen Teil ihrer Arbeitszeit mit nicht originär pflegerischen Tätigkeiten (z.B. Transport). Da aber die Pflege am Patientenbett besonders wichtig ist, bedarf es alternativer Ansätze. Eine Lösung ist die Übernahme repe titiver Transportaufgaben durch Serviceroboter. Durch die Vermeidung unnötiger Laufstrecken oder die Unterstützung beim Transport schwerer Lasten können physische Belastungen reduziert werden. Welche Potenziale für Roboter in der Pflege existieren, untersuchte die vorliegende Beobachtungs- und Interview studie an zwei ländlichen Kliniken in Niederbayern.

Nurses’ Workplace Perceptions in Southern Germany—Job Satisfaction and Self-Intended Retention towards Nursing.

In: Healthcare (vol. 12) , pg. 172

(2024)

DOI: 10.3390/healthcare12020172

Abstract anzeigen

Our cross-sectional study, conducted from October 2022 to January 2023, aims to assess post-COVID job satisfaction, crucial work dimensions, and self-reported factors influencing nursing retention. Using an online survey, we surveyed 2572 nurses in different working fields in Bavaria, Germany. We employed a quantitative analysis, including a multivariable regression, to assess key influence factors on nursing retention. In addition, we evaluated open-ended questions via a template analysis to use in a joint display. In the status quo, 43.2% of nurses were not committed to staying in the profession over the next 12 months. A total of 66.7% of our surveyed nurses were found to be dissatisfied with the (i) time for direct patient care. Sources of dissatisfaction above 50% include (ii) service organization, (iii) documentation, (iv) codetermination, and (v) payment. The qualitative data underline necessary improvements in these areas. Regarding retention factors, we identified that nurses with (i) older age, (ii) living alone, (iii) not working in elder care, (iv) satisfactory working hours, (v) satisfactory career choice, (vi) career opportunities, (vii) satisfactory payment, and (viii) adequate working and rest times are more likely to remain in the profession. Conversely, dissatisfaction in (ix) supporting people makes nurses more likely to leave their profession and show emotional constraints. We uncovered a dichotomy where nurses have strong empathy for their profession but yearn for improvements due to unmet expectations. Policy implications should include measures for younger nurses and those in elderly care. Nevertheless, there is a need for further research, because our research is limited by potential bias from convenience sampling, and digitalization will soon show up as a potential solution to improve, e.g., documentation and enhanced time for direct patient time.

Nurses’ perceptions, experience and knowledge regarding artificial intelligence: results from a cross-sectional online survey in Germany.

In: BMC Nursing (vol. 23)

(2024)

DOI: 10.1186/s12912-024-01884-2

Abstract anzeigen

Background Nursing faces increasing pressure due to changing demographics and a shortage of skilled workers. Artificial intelligence (AI) offers an opportunity to relieve nurses and reduce pressure. The perception of AI by nurses is crucial for successful implementation. Due to a limited research state, our study aims to investigate nurses’ knowledge and perceptions of AI. Methods In June 2023, we conducted a cross-sectional online survey of nurses in Bavaria, Germany. A convenience sample via care facilities was used for the questionnaire oriented on existing AI surveys. Data analysis was performed descriptively, and we used a template analysis to evaluate free-text answers. Results 114 (♀67.5 %, ♂32.5 %) nurses participated. Results show that knowledge about AI is limited, as only 25.2 % can be described as AI experts. German nurses strongly associate AI with (i) computers and hardware, (ii) programming-based software, (iii) a database tool, (iv) learning, and (v) making decisions. Two-thirds of nurses report AI as an opportunity. Concerns arise as AI is seen as uncontrollable or threat. Administration staff are seen as the biggest profiteers. Conclusion Even though there is a lack of clear understanding of AI technology among nurses, the majority recognizes the benefits that AI can bring in terms of relief or support. We suggest that nurses should be better prepared for AI in the future, e.g., through training and continuing education measures. Nurses are the working group that uses AI and are crucial for implementing nursing AI.

Potential of Assistive Robots in Clinical Nursing: An Observational Study of Nurses’ Transportation Tasks in Rural Clinics of Bavaria, Germany.

In: Nursing Reports (vol. 14) , pg. 267-286

(2024)

DOI: 10.3390/nursrep14010021

Abstract anzeigen

Transportation tasks in nursing are common, often overlooked, and directly impact patient care time in the context of staff shortages and an aging society. Current studies lack a specific focus on transportation tasks, a gap our research aims to fill. By providing detailed data on transportation needs in nursing, our study establishes a crucial foundation for the development and integration of assistive robots in clinical settings. In July and September 2023, we conducted weekly observations of nurses to assess clinical transportation needs. We aim to understand the economic impact and the methods nurses use for transportation tasks. We conducted a participant observation using a standardized app-based form over a seven-day observation period in two rural clinics. N = 1830 transports were made by nurses and examined by descriptive analysis. Non-medical supplies account for 27.05% (n = 495) of all transports, followed by medical supplies at 17.32% (n = 317), pharmacotherapy at 14.10% (n = 258) and other other categories like meals or drinks contributing 12.68% (n = 232). Most transports had a factual transport time of under a minute, with patient transport and lab samples displaying more variability. In total, 77.15% of all transports were made by hand. Requirements to collect items or connect transports with patient care were included in 5% of all transports. Our economic evaluation highlighted meals as the most costly transport, with 9596.16 € per year in the observed clinics. Budget-friendly robots would amortize these costs over one year by transporting meals. We support understanding nurses’ transportation needs via further research on assistive robots to validate our findings and determine the feasibility of transport robots.

Assistive technologies in healthcare: utilization and healthcare workers perceptions in Germany.

In: BMC Health Services Research (vol. 25) , pg. 223

(2025)

DOI: 10.1186/s12913-024-12162-x

Abstract anzeigen

BACKGROUND According to the WHO, assistive technology (AT) is defined as the superset of technologies that improve or maintain the functioning of different senses, mobility, self-care, well-being, and inclusion of patients. ATs also include technologies for healthcare workers (HCWs) to reduce workloads and improve efficiency and patient care outcomes. Software ATs for HCWs include communication software, artificial intelligence (AI), text editors, planning tools, decision support systems, and health records. Hardware ATs for HCWs can range from communication devices, sensors, and specialized medical equipment to robots. AIMS With this indicative study, we explore HCW utilization, perceptions, and adoption barriers of ATs. We emphasize ATs role in enhancing HCWs' efficiency and effectiveness in healthcare delivery. METHODS A cross-sectional online survey was conducted through August 2024 with HCWs in Bavaria via a network recruiting approach. We used convenience sampling but ensured that only HCWs were part of our study population. Our survey included (i) usage, (ii) usefulness, and (iii) perceptions regarding ATs. The survey comprised 11 close-ended and three open-ended questions, including story stems evaluated by a deductive qualitative template analysis. Our mixed-method evaluation also employed descriptive and bivariate statistics. RESULTS Three hundred seventy-one HCWs (♂63.9 %, ♀36.1 %) participated in our survey, primarily 133 administrators, 116 nurses, and 34 doctors. More than half of the study participants (58.6 %) reported having advanced technical skills. Regarding usage, communication platforms (82.2 %) and communication devices (86 %) were the most commonly used ATs. Advanced ATs such as body-worn sensors, medical devices with interfaces, identification devices, and robots were underutilized in our sample. ATs were reported to be helpful in all job roles but need improvements in capacity and integration. Key barriers to adoption included outdated infrastructure, interoperability, and a lack of training. CONCLUSION Our study suggests that HCWs may want to incorporate ATs into their workflows as they see how, in theory, these technologies would improve HCW's efficiency, resulting in better patient care. However, to realize this potential, efforts in ATs integration and accessibility are essential. Given this study's modest sample size and generalizability limitations, further research is needed to explore the adoption, implementation, and impact of ATs in healthcare.
