Abstract
Significance. The professional activity of nurses in multi-specialty hospitals includes a wide range of responsibilities with a high shift load, which can result in lower quality of care delivery to seriously ill (low-mobility) patients. At the same time, digital technologies are yet to be widely used in the professional activities of inpatient nurses, which serves basis for improving care delivery to seriously ill (low-mobility) patients through digital technologies and video monitoring systems. The purpose of the study: to assess readiness of nurses to the introduction of digital technologies and video monitoring systems in care delivery to seriously ill (low-mobility) patients. Material and methods: a study on readiness of nursing staff to the introduction of digital technologies and video monitoring systems in care delivery to seriously ill (low-mobility) patients was implemented (n=565). The analysis was carried out on the basis of descriptive statistics methods. The significance level is set equal to p<0.05. Results. The study shows that almost every fifth nurse 19.0% ±1.65% (CI 15.7% - 22.30%) is ready to carry out professional activities for seriously ill (low-mobility) patients under the control of a video monitoring system in order to improve quality of care delivery; almost every fifth nurse 19.9%±1.68% (CI 16.54% -23.26%) considers it possible to evaluate quality of care delivery to seriously ill (low-mobility) patients using digital technologies (surveillance systems, video cameras. Conclusions. Nurses of medical organizations (hospitals) are not always ready for the use of digital technologies and introduction of the round-the-clock video monitoring system, however they show readiness if quality of care to patients improves. Keywords: digital technologies; modern methods to monitor work of nurses; nursing; professional activities of nurses.
