Abstract

Nurses use electronic information systems daily, and digital devices have been developed to enable patient to live at home as long as possible. This study aimed to test reverse mentoring for professionals working with digital tools in home care. An electronic survey was sent twice to nurses to collect their opinions about the tools they use. Based on the results from the first survey (N=184), the mentoring content focused on the use of information systems and digital tools. Respondents' experiences as information system users were more abundant than their experiences as digital tool users. Tools supporting independent living were seldom used, but safety devices and alarm monitoring were used daily. The mentoring meetings induced changes and encouraged participants to acquire skills related to the use of digital tools and to evaluate their work critically.
