Enabling nurses’ engagement in the design of healthcare technology – Core competencies and requirements: A qualitative study
Background
Due to the globally increasing demand for care, innovation is important to maintain quality, safety, effectiveness, patient sensitivity, and outcome orientation. Health care technologies could be a solution to innovate, maintain, or improve the quality of care and simultaneously decrease nurses’ workload. Currently, nurses are rarely involved in the design of health care technologies, mostly due to time constraints with clinical nursing responsibilities and limited exposure to technology and design disciplines. To ensure that health care technologies fit into nurses’ core and routine practice, nurses should be actively involved in the design process.
Objective
The aim of the present study was to explore the main requirements for nurses’ active participation in the design of health care technologies.
Design
An exploratory descriptive qualitative design was used which helps to both understand and describe a phenomenon.
Participants
Twelve nurses from three academic hospitals in the Netherlands participated in this study.
Method
Data were collected from semistructured interviews with hospital nurses experienced in design programs and thematically analysed.
Results
Four themes were identified concerning the main requirements for nurses to participate in the design of health care technologies: (1) nurses’ motivations to participate, (2) the process of technology development, (3) required competence to participate (such as assertiveness, creative thinking, problem solving skills), and (4) facilitating and organizing nurses’ participation.
Conclusion
Nurses experience their involvement in the design process as essential, distinctive, and meaningful but experience few possibilities to combine this work with their current workload, flows, routines, and requirements. To participate in the design of health care technologies nurses need motivation and specific competencies. Organizations should facilitate time for nurses to acquire the required competencies and to be intentionally involved in technology design and development activities.
