Embracing Digital and Technological Solutions in nursing: A scoping review and conceptual framework / G. Conte, C. Arrigoni, A. Magon, A. Stievano, R. Caruso. - In: INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF MEDICAL INFORMATICS. - ISSN 1386-5056. - 177:(2023), pp. 105148.1-105148.22. [10.1016/j.ijmedinf.2023.105148]
Abstract:
Introduction: Digital and technological solutions (DTS) are emerging as promising avenues to improve the quality
and efficiency of healthcare. This scoping review aimed to map the literature on embracing DTS in nursing, from
primary to tertiary care settings.
Methods: The Joanna Briggs Institute guidance for scoping reviews was used. The authors searched MEDLINE,
Embase, CINAHL, Scopus, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, and PROSPERO databases for published articles
and relevant peer-reviewed research protocols. Screening and data abstraction were conducted by two reviewers
independently, with a third reviewer resolving discrepancies. Frequency and thematic analyses were conducted.
Results: The study highlights the crucial role nurses play in introducing, implementing, and using DTS. The
summarized literature emphasizes that cultivating positive attitudes, possessing sufficient knowledge, compe-
tencies, self-efficacy, and displaying appropriate behaviors toward such technologies are vital in ensuring their
effective incorporation into nursing practice.
Discussion and conclusions: The findings of this scoping review provide a foundation for future research on DTS
adoption in nursing and support the development of evidence-based strategies to improve nursing practice
through DTS implementation. Therefore, the article proposes the Digital and Technological Framework (Dig-
itech-F) for healthcare professionals as a comprehensive conceptual framework that addresses skills, knowledge,
attitude, and competence to ensure the effective adoption of DTS in nursing.
