Abstract

Wearable technologies have gained an increasing place in healthcare services and have an important potential in the field of surgical nursing. These technologies offer innovative solutions to optimise postoperative care processes, increase patient safety and accelerate the healing process. These devices, which monitor many physiological parameters such as heart rate, respiratory functions, activity level and wound healing in real time, help nurses to perform patient management more effectively. While traditional patient monitoring methods usually require the direct intervention of healthcare professionals, wearable health technologies allow patients to be monitored in real time and individualised care approaches can be developed. These systems, which instantly monitor biometric data such as heart rate, oxygen saturation, body temperature and mobility, both support the decision-making processes of healthcare professionals and increase patient comfort. Integration of these technologies into surgical nursing practices has the potential to increase the quality of patient care while reducing costs on healthcare systems. However, studies in this field are limited and more research is needed to evaluate the clinical effectiveness of wearable devices, patient satisfaction and nurses' attitudes towards the use of these technologies. In order to fully utilise the opportunities offered by wearable technologies in postoperative nursing care, more scientific studies should be conducted in the field of surgical nursing and the integration of these technologies into practice should be supported.

Özet

Giyilebilir teknolojiler, sağlık hizmetlerinde giderek daha fazla yer edinmekte ve cerrahi hemşirelik alanında önemli bir potansiyele sahiptir. Bu teknolojiler, ameliyat sonrası bakım süreçlerini optimize etmek, hasta güvenliğini artırmak ve iyileşme sürecini hızlandırmak için yenilikçi çözümler sunmaktadır. Kalp atış hızı, solunum fonksiyonları, aktivite seviyesi ve yara iyileşmesi gibi birçok fizyolojik parametreyi gerçek zamanlı olarak izleyen bu cihazlar, hemşirelerin hasta yönetimini daha etkili bir şekilde gerçekleştirmelerine yardımcı olmaktadır. Geleneksel hasta izleme yöntemleri genellikle sağlık profesyonellerinin doğrudan müdahalesini gerektirirken, giyilebilir sağlık teknolojileri hastaların gerçek zamanlı olarak izlenmesini ve kişiselleştirilmiş bakım yaklaşımlarının geliştirilmesini sağlar. Kalp atış hızı, oksijen satürasyonu, vücut ısısı ve hareketlilik gibi biyometrik verileri anında izleyen bu sistemler, hem sağlık profesyonellerinin karar verme süreçlerini destekler hem de hasta konforunu artırır. Bu teknolojilerin cerrahi hemşirelik uygulamalarına entegrasyonu, hasta bakımının kalitesini artırırken sağlık sistemlerinin maliyetlerini düşürme potansiyeline sahiptir. Ancak, bu alandaki çalışmalar sınırlıdır ve giyilebilir cihazların klinik etkinliğini, hasta memnuniyetini ve hemşirelerin bu teknolojilerin kullanımına yönelik tutumlarını değerlendirmek için daha fazla araştırma yapılması gerekmektedir. Ameliyat sonrası hemşirelik bakımında giyilebilir teknolojilerin sunduğu fırsatlardan tam olarak yararlanmak için, cerrahi hemşirelik alanında daha fazla bilimsel çalışma yapılmalı ve bu teknolojilerin uygulamaya entegrasyonu desteklenmelidir
