Pediatri Hemşireliğinde Yapay Zekâ Destekli Yaklaşımlar

Abstract

Yapay zekâ (YZ), insan zekâsını taklit eden sistemler aracılığıyla sağlık hizmetlerinde dönüşüm yaratmaktadır. Hemşirelik alanında, özellikle pediatri hemşireliğinde yapay zekâ kullanımı son yıllarda hız kazanmış; klinik karar destek sistemlerinden, uzaktan hasta takibine kadar geniş bir yelpazede yerini almıştır. Bu gelişmeler umut verici fırsatlar yaratırken aynı zamanda etik, mesleki ve teknik kaygıları beraberinde getirmektedir. Pediatri hemşireliğinde yapay zekâ teknolojilerinin kullanımı hasta bakım kalitesini artırma, erken müdahale ve hemşirelik uygulamalarında destekleyici bir rol oynama potansiyeli taşımaktadır. Ancak hemşirelerin bu dönüşüme hazırlanması, etik ve güvenlik konularının dikkatli bir şekilde ele alınması ve mesleğin insani yönlerinin korunması gereklidir. Yapay zekâ kullanımını ölçmek; klinik ortamlarda yapay zekâ araçlarının yaygınlığı, sağlık profesyonelleri arasında yapay zekâya yönelik eğitim düzeyi ve yapay zekânın hasta bakımına entegre edilme derecesi gibi faktörlerin değerlendirilmesini gerektirdiğinden zor olabilir. Dolayısıyla, sağlık hizmetlerinde yapay zekânın rolünün ve etkisinin daha iyi ölçülebilmesi ancak standartlaştırılmış ölçütler geliştirmek için daha fazla araştırmanın yapılmasıyla mümkündür. Literatürde yapay zekânın yüksek kaliteli bakımı geliştirme, kişiselleştirilmiş bakım ihtiyaçlarını belirleme, insan hatasını izleme ve en aza indirme, bakım maliyetlerini azaltma potansiyelini vurgulayan çalışmalar mevcuttur. Bu literatür derlemesinin amacı; pediatri hemşireliğinde Yapay zekâ kullanım durumu ve yapay zekâ uygulamalarını güncel literatür ışığında değerlendirmektir.

Artificial Intelligence Supported Approaches in Pediatric Nursing

Abstract

Artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming healthcare services through systems that mimic human intelligence. The use of AI in the field of nursing, especially in pediatric nursing, has gained momentum in recent years; it has taken its place in a wide range from clinical decision support systems to remote patient monitoring. These developments create both promising opportunities and some ethical, professional and technical concerns. The use of artificial intelligence technologies in pediatric nursing has the potential to improve the quality of patient care, early intervention and play a supportive role in nursing practices. However, it is necessary to prepare nurses for this transformation, to address ethical and safety issues carefully, and to protect the human aspects of the profession. Measuring the use of AI can be challenging as it requires the assessment of factors such as the prevalence of AI tools in clinical settings, the level of training in AI among healthcare professionals, and the degree to which AI is integrated into patient care. Therefore, a better measurement of the role and impact of AI in healthcare is only possible with further research to develop standardised metrics. There are studies in the literature highlighting the potential of AI to improve high quality care, identify personalised care needs, monitor and minimise human error, and reduce care costs. The aim of this literature review is to evaluate the use of artificial intelligence in pediatric nursing and artificial intelligence applications in the light of current literature
