Positive technology, which is a concept of positive
psychology, is a scientific and applied approach used to improve the quality of
personal experiences in order to improve the health level of individuals,
institutions and society. It can be said that the use of positive technologies
in health services and in health institutions has increased and digital
transformations are manifested in many areas of the health sector. The
electronic health records, mHealth, telemedicine, portal technology,
self-service kiosks, remote monitoring tools, sensors and wearable technology,
wireless communication, real-time locating services and pharmacogenomics/genome
sequencing have been among the positive technologies used in health services in
recent years. Patient engagement, which has an important role in improving
health service quality and health outcomes, is one of the prominent issues in
recent years. Patient engagement is an integral part of health services. Positive
technologies are useful for managing patients' habits and managing
relationships with other people at home and at work, and empower patients to
manage their own health. Patients can participate in the provision of health
services as required by their care through positive technologies. This study
aims to investigate the role of positive technologies in patient engagement.

Pozitif Teknolojilerin Sağlık Hizmetlerinde ve Hasta Katılımında Rolü

Öz

Pozitif
psikolojinin ortaya çıkardığı bir kavram olan pozitif teknoloji bireylerin,
kurumların ve toplumun sağlık düzeyini iyileştirmek amacıyla kişisel
deneyimlerin kalitesini iyileştirmede kullanılan bilimsel ve uygulamalı bir
yaklaşımdır. Pozitif teknolojilerin sağlık hizmetlerinde ve sağlık kurumlarında
kullanım alanlarının arttığı ve dijital dönüşümlerin sağlık sektörünün birçok
alanında kendini gösterdiği söylenebilir. Elektronik sağlık kayıtları, mobil
sağlık, teletıp, portal teknolojisi, self servis kioskları, uzaktan kumandalı
araçlar, sensörler ve giyilebilir teknoloji, kablosuz iletişim, gerçek zamanlı
konum belirleme hizmetleri, farmakogenomik/genom dizilemesi gibi teknolojiler,
son yıllarda sağlık hizmetlerinde kullanılan pozitif teknolojiler arasında yer
almaktadır. Sağlık hizmeti kalitesinin ve sağlık sonuçlarının
iyileştirilmesinde önemli bir rolü olan hasta katılımı, son yıllarda dikkat
çeken konular arasındadır. Hasta katılımı, sağlık hizmetlerinin ayrılmaz bir
parçasıdır. Pozitif teknolojiler hastaların alışkanlıklarını yönetmede, evde ve
işyerinde diğer insanlarla olan ilişkilerini idare etmede fayda sağlamaktadır
ve hastaları kendi sağlıklarını yönetmeleri için güçlendirmektedir. Hastalar
pozitif teknolojiler aracılığıyla kendi bakımlarının gerektirdiği şekilde
sağlık hizmetleri sunumuna katılım sağlayabilmektedir. Bu çalışmada pozitif
teknolojilerin hasta katılımdaki rolünün incelenmesi amaçlanmıştır.

Anahtar Kelimeler
