Pediatri Hemşireliğinde Giyilebilir Teknolojiler
Özet
Bu bölüm, pediatri hemşireliğinde giyilebilir teknolojilerin çocuk ve yenidoğan bakımındaki kullanım alanlarını, sağladığı klinik katkıları ve hemşirelerin bu süreçteki rolünü kapsamlı biçimde ele almaktadır. Yapay zekâ, Nesnelerin İnterneti (IoT), akıllı tekstiller ve biyosensörlerle desteklenen giyilebilir teknolojiler; kalp atım hızı, solunum, oksijen satürasyonu, vücut sıcaklığı ve fiziksel aktivite gibi fizyolojik parametrelerin kesintisiz, non-invaziv ve gerçek zamanlı izlenmesini mümkün kılmaktadır. Bu teknolojiler; erken tanı, klinik karar desteği, hasta güvenliği, kronik hastalık yönetimi, taburculuk sonrası uzaktan izlem ve aile merkezli bakımın güçlendirilmesine katkı sağlamaktadır. Özellikle yenidoğan ve çocuk yoğun bakım ünitelerinde kablosuz izlem sistemleri ve akıllı tekstiller, geleneksel monitörizasyonun neden olduğu cilt hasarı, kablo karmaşası ve alarm yorgunluğu gibi sorunların azaltılmasına yardımcı olmaktadır. Bununla birlikte, dijital sağlık uygulamalarının etkin kullanımı için hemşirelerin dijital okuryazarlık, veri yorumlama, klinik karar verme ve etik sorumluluklar açısından yetkin olmaları gerekmektedir. Sonuç olarak, giyilebilir teknolojiler pediatri hemşireliğinde bakım kalitesini artıran, bireyselleştirilmiş ve sürekli izlem olanağı sunan yenilikçi araçlar olup, gelecekte hemşirelik uygulamalarının ayrılmaz bir parçası olarak değerlendirilmektedir.
This chapter comprehensively examines the applications of wearable technologies in pediatric nursing, their clinical contributions to neonatal and pediatric care, and the evolving role of nurses in integrating these technologies into clinical practice. Wearable technologies supported by artificial intelligence (AI), the Internet of Things (IoT), smart textiles, and biosensors enable the continuous, non-invasive, and real-time monitoring of physiological parameters, including heart rate, respiratory rate, oxygen saturation, body temperature, and physical activity. These technologies contribute to early diagnosis, clinical decision support, patient safety, chronic disease management, post-discharge remote patient monitoring, and the promotion of family-centered care. In particular, wireless monitoring systems and smart textiles used in neonatal and pediatric intensive care units help overcome the limitations of conventional monitoring methods by reducing skin injuries, cable-related restrictions, and alarm fatigue. However, the effective integration of digital health technologies into pediatric nursing practice requires nurses to possess competencies in digital health literacy, data interpretation, clinical decision-making, and ethical responsibility. In conclusion, wearable technologies represent innovative tools that enhance the quality of pediatric nursing care by enabling personalized and continuous health monitoring and are expected to become an integral component of future pediatric nursing practice.
