The poor usability of electronic health records contributes to increased nurses' workload, workarounds, and potential threats to patient safety. Understanding nurses' perceptions of electronic health record usability and incorporating human factors engineering principles are essential for improving electronic health records and aligning them with nursing workflows. This review aimed to synthesize studies focused on nurses' perceived electronic health record usability and categorize the findings in alignment with three human factor goals: satisfaction, performance, and safety. This systematic review was guided by the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis. Five hundred forty-nine studies were identified from January 2009 to June 2023. Twenty-one studies were included in this review. The majority of the studies utilized reliable and validated questionnaires (n = 15) to capture the viewpoints of hospital-based nurses (n = 20). When categorizing usability-related findings according to the goals of good human factor design, namely, improving satisfaction, performance, and safety, studies used performance-related measures most. Only four studies measured safety-related aspects of electronic health record usability. Electronic health record redesign is necessary to improve nurses' perceptions of electronic health record usability, but future efforts should systematically address all three goals of good human factor design.

There is a paucity of evidence connecting health literacy, perceived wellness, self-reported fitness activity, or military readiness to wearable devices. Moreover, we do not currently know the prevalence and impact of health tracker device use in the active-duty Air Force population. This prospective cross-sectional survey assessed self-reported fitness activity, health-related quality of life, health literacy, and health behavior tracking practices and preferences among active-duty Air Force service members. Four hundred twenty-eight respondents completed an online survey, with 247 selecting tracking a health behavior and 181 selecting that they did not track a health behavior. Demographic characteristics of the sample showed no significant differences in age, sex distribution, or mode of service. We found that there were no significant differences in self-reported aerobic and strength training frequency, health literacy, or health-related quality of life. More than half of nontracking respondents either had not considered or had no interest in tracking health behaviors. Nearly three-quarters of tracking respondents tracked more than one health behavior. Further research could explore the extent to which these technologies improve fitness, health outcomes, and overall readiness in the military, involving longitudinal studies tracking fitness improvements and health outcomes among service members using wearable devices.

The aim of this study was to describe medication administration and alert patterns among a cohort of new graduate nurses over the first year of practice. Medical errors related to clinical decision-making, including medication administration errors, may occur more frequently among new graduate nurses. To better understand nursing workflow and documentation workload in today's clinical environment, it is important to understand patterns of medication administration and alert generation during barcode-assisted medication administration. Study objectives were addressed through a descriptive, longitudinal, observational cohort design using secondary data analysis. Set in a large, urban medical center in the United States, the study sample included 132 new graduate nurses who worked on adult, inpatient units and administered medication using barcode-assisted medication administration. Data were collected through electronic health record and administration sources. New graduate nurses in the sample experienced a total of 587 879 alert and medication administration encounters, administering 772 unique medications to 17 388 unique patients. Nurses experienced an average medication workload of 28.09 medications per shift, 3.98% of which were associated with alerts, over their first year of practice. In addition to high volume of medication administration, new graduate nurses administer many different types of medications and are exposed to numerous alerts while using barcode-assisted medication administration.

Mobile healthcare has emerged as a prominent technological solution for self-management of health. However, the development and utilization of tailored mobile healthcare applications for older adults with diabetes mellitus remain limited. This study examined the relationship between social support and mobile healthcare use and further explored how this relationship varies with eHealth literacy and application design among older adults with diabetes mellitus. A descriptive cross-sectional trial was conducted with a structured self-report questionnaire, surveying 252 South Korean older adults with diabetes mellitus via offline and online modes. The mediating effect and moderated mediating effect were analyzed with the PROCESS macro of SPSS. eHealth literacy mediated the relationship between social support and mobile healthcare use. High levels of eHealth literacy and social support may increase mobile healthcare use among older adults with diabetes. Application design aesthetics facilitated mobile healthcare use. Future researchers, healthcare providers, and developers can contribute to the development of tailored mobile healthcare applications for older adults with diabetes mellitus by considering application design aspects such as font size, color, and menu configuration.

This study aims to develop a virtual reality-based education program for managing behavioral and psychological symptoms of dementia for family carers of persons living with dementia and investigate the feasibility for users. The program was developed through literature review, interviews with family carers, surveys, and expert content validity assessment. User feasibility was evaluated quantitatively through a questionnaire on usefulness, ease of use, and satisfaction, and qualitatively through participant interviews. The program was produced in two parts, Type 1 and Type 2, consisting of three and six episodes, respectively. Participants showed a high level of satisfaction with overall program scores of 4.28 ± 0.66 and 4.34 ± 0.41 for the two evaluations. Participants also expressed that both programs were helpful, Type 1 for achieving changes in attitude associated with more understanding of persons living with dementia and Type 2 for acquiring coping methods through communication training. Use of the virtual reality device was not inconvenient and was identified as helpful due to the high immersion experience. Results of this study confirmed that family carers had no resistance to education using new technologies such as virtual reality devices and that virtual reality-based education could be effective for training family carers.

Hospitals are experiencing a nursing shortage crisis that is expected to worsen over the next decade. Acute care settings, which manage the care of very complex patients, need innovations that lessen nurses' workload burden while ensuring safe patient care and outcomes. Thus, a pilot study was conducted to evaluate the feasibility of implementing a large-scale acute care telenurse program, where a hospital-employed telenurse would complete admission and discharge processes for hospitalized patients virtually. In 3 months, almost 9000 (67%) of patient admissions and discharges were conducted by an acute care telenurse, saving the bedside nurse an average of 45 minutes for each admission and discharge. Preliminary benefits to the program included more uninterrupted time with patients, more complete hospital admission and discharge documentation, and positive patient and nurse feedback about the program.

This study aimed to identify the knowledge structures of Korean and international nursing studies on premature infants using text network analysis, which represents a text as a network graph that describes how keywords are linked. This network graph refers to a knowledge structure. International and Korean journal databases were searched to extract nursing studies regarding premature infants published in academic journals from 1998 to 2020. Abstracts from the selected studies were analyzed using the following four steps: word extraction and refinement, keyword extraction, co-occurrence matrix generation, and text network visualization. The results demonstrated that 182 Korean and 2502 international studies were published. The common keywords of Korean and international studies were "kangaroo mother care," "stress," and "child." The keywords of the international studies had more branches linking to other keywords than those of the Korean studies. Thus, the knowledge structure of international studies included diverse concepts. These findings will serve as important guidance for future research worldwide. Furthermore, studies to develop a more comprehensive knowledge structure of international research on premature infants are needed. The knowledge structure of Korean studies mainly included concepts related to mothers. Korean studies regarding hospitalized premature infants and communication with parents need to be conducted.
