Abstract
Due to visiting restrictions at intensive care units during the COVID-19 pandemic, a digital video technology was developed and implemented. This study evaluated the use of digital visits at four intensive care units after COVID-19. Nurses' use of the technology and managerial perspectives on implementation were examined in an explanatory sequential mixed-methods study. Data were explored by inferential statistics (quantitative data) and content analysis (qualitative data). Results revealed that 52.9% of nurses had not used digital visits. Users indicated that the technology supported the patient-relative-nurse relationship, but needs reimplementation, aligning it with the post-COVID-19 setting.
期刊介绍:
For over 30 years, CIN: Computers, Informatics, Nursing has been at the interface of the science of information and the art of nursing, publishing articles on the latest developments in nursing informatics, research, education and administrative of health information technology. CIN connects you with colleagues as they share knowledge on implementation of electronic health records systems, design decision-support systems, incorporate evidence-based healthcare in practice, explore point-of-care computing in practice and education, and conceptually integrate nursing languages and standard data sets. Continuing education contact hours are available in every issue.
