Abstract

The health sector is one of the areas where technological developments are rapidly integrated. This transformation provides significant advances in diagnosing and treating diseases and managing care practices. In this direction, it is evident that the age of digital transformation has commenced and is progressing rapidly, with the utilisation of technological devices and equipment becoming pervasive in the field of health. Wearable devices play a central role in healthcare’s digital transformation. These devices, which can monitor daily activities and analyze the data obtained, are also employed effectively in the context of patient follow-up after surgical intervention. This study examined the utilisation of wearable technological devices following various surgical interventions. The review encompassed a discussion of the features of these devices and the areas of their application in clinical settings. Additionally, the review evaluated the effectiveness of these devices in nursing care. The study illuminates the contributions of wearable technologies in postoperative patient care and their impact on nursing practices.

Özet

Sağlık sektörü, teknolojik gelişmelerin hızla entegre olduğu alanların başında gelmektedir. Bu dönüşüm, hastalıkların tanılanması, tedavi edilmesi ve bakım uygulamalarının yönetilmesinde önemli kolaylıklar sağlamaktadır. Bu yönde sağlık alanında kullanımları yaygın bir şekilde artmakta olan teknolojik cihaz ve donanımların kullanımlarıyla dijital dönüşüm çağının başladığı ve günden güne hızla ilerlediği görülmektedir. Özellikle giyilebilir teknolojik cihazlar, dijital dönüşüm çağının sağlık alanındaki en önemli araçlarından biri haline gelmiştir. Günlük insan aktivitelerini izleyebilen, elde edilen verileri analiz edebilen bu cihazlar, cerrahi girişim sonrası hasta izlemlerinde de etkin bir şekilde kullanılmaktadır. Bu derlemede; farklı cerrahi girişimlerin ardından kullanılan giyilebilir teknolojik cihazlar, bu cihazların özellikleri ve klinikte hangi alanlarda kullanıldıkları ele alınmış, hemşirelik bakımındaki etkinlikleri değerlendirilmiştir. Çalışma, giyilebilir teknolojilerin cerrahi sonrası hasta bakımında sağladığı katkılara ve hemşirelik uygulamalarına olan yansımalarına ışık tutmaktadır.
