Abstract

Background: Research on artificial intelligence-based technologies in health care has increased over the last decade, with applications showing great potential to help and improve care. Aim: to analyze the use of artificial intelligence in the field of nursing and its implications in care, administration and education. Materials and methods: documentary research. The articles consulted were collected in the following databases: 39 articles in PubMed, 2 articles in academic Google and 1 article in Scielo, published between 2018 - 2022. Results: 27 (64%) articles that mention the use of AI, to develop prototypes in patient care, 3 (7.15%) articles highlight the importance of AI in decision making, management and service quality and 3 (7.15%) articles mention the development of skills, thinking critical and confident. Conclusions: greater participation of nurses is required in the design of care prototypes, which implies acquiring knowledge about technology and artificial intelligence as tools to provide quality care.

Abstract

Background: evidence-based clinical practice places nurses within a professional discipline that provides the foundation for interventions to be original, innovative and individualized.Aim: to analyze the relationship between the nursing practice environment and job performance.Methods: An observational, retrospective cross-sectional study was designed, taking as study sample 53 staff nurses in the year 2022 in a public health facility in the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires.Results: When correlating the dimensions of the evidence-based nursing practice environment with the global work performance indicator, a statistically significant correlation was found with the capacity, leadership and support to nurses by nurse managers (rho=0.354; P=0.0092). On the other hand, correlations with the dimensions nurse involvement in facility issues (rho=-0.144; P=0.3038), nurse rationale for quality of care (rho=0.149; P=0.2874), staffing size and adequacy of human resources (rho=0.149; P=0.2874), and physician-nurse relationships (rho=0.150; P=0.2841) were not significant.Conclusions: This study provided evidence that nurses' perceptions of their practice environment were favorable, except for adequacy of staffing and resources. Nurses' job performance levels were found to be affected by nursing managers' ability, leadership and support of nurses.

Abstract

Background: The risk of falls in hospitalized adult patients is a very important topic to develop and investigate since a fall can produce irreparable harm. Every hospitalized patient can suffer a fall which can produce an adverse event.Aim: To analyze the relationship between the evidence-based nursing practice environment and its relationship with knowledge about fall prevention in hospitalized patients. Methods: An observational, descriptive, cross-sectional study was conducted. The sample consisted of 73 nurses.Results: The sample consisted of 80.8% female nurses. The average age was 37.7 ± 8.4. The average age was 37.7 ± 8.4. 50.7% of the sample had a Professional Nursing degree. The mean score of the health personnel knowledge survey on fall prevention was 15.1 ± 7.8 points (95% CI: 13.2444 to 16.8926). No relationship was found between evidence-based nursing practice setting and health care staff knowledge of falls prevention (P=0.2742).Conclusions: Adequate levels of both evidence-based nursing practice setting and health care staff knowledge of falls prevention were found. Both indicators were independent and no relationship was found between them or with sociodemographic variables. Therefore, it cannot be affirmed that the level of knowledge regarding falls is a factor that affects the intention to behave in accordance with the implementation of evidence-based practice.
