Yapay Zekâ ile Palyatif Bakımda Yenilikler: Hemşirelik Uygulamaları ve Karşılaşılan Zorluklar

Öz

Bu çalışma 2016-2025 yılları arasında yayınlanmış çalışmaları incelemek amacıyla yapılan bir literatür derleme çalışmasıdır. Bu çalışmanın amacı, palyatif bakımda yapay zeka teknolojilerinin sunduğu fırsatlar ve karşılaşılan zorlukları ortaya koymaktır. Bu derleme 2016-2025 yılları arasında PubMed ve Google Scholar veritabanlarında "palliative care and artificial intelligence" ve "palyatif bakım ve yapay zeka" gibi anahtar kelimeleri ile taranmıştır. İlk tarama sonucunda 747 kayıt (PubMed: 541, Google Scholar: 206) belirlenmiş, tekil çıkarımı ve başlık/özet taramasından sonra 43 çalışma nihai analize dahil edilmiştir. PRISMA-ScR kılavuzuna uygun olarak yürütülen çalışmada, veriler teknoloji türü ve klinik uygulama alanlarına göre tematik olarak raporlanmıştır. Palyatif bakım, yaşamı tehdit eden hastalıkların ileri aşamalarında hastalar ve aileleri için yaşam kalitesini artırmayı hedefleyen kapsamlı bir sağlık hizmeti modelidir. Günümüzde yapay zeka teknolojilerinin gelişmesi ile palyatif bakımda kullanımı artmıştır. Palyatif bakımda yapay zeka teknolojinin kullanılması hemşireler için bakım kalitesinin artmasına önemli fırsatlar sunarken etik zorluklar ve hasta bakımında yaşanabilecek olası sorunlar devam etmektedir. Bu nedenle bu derleme, hemşirelerin palyatif bakımda kaliteli hizmet sunabilmesi için yapay zekâ teknolojilerinin sunduğu fırsatları ve zorlukları ortaya koymayı amaçlamaktadır.

Innovations in Palliative Care with Artificial Intelligence: Nursing Practices and Challenges

Öz

This study is a literature review conducted to examine studies published between 2016 and 2025. This study aims to highlight the opportunities and challenges presented by artificial intelligence technologies in palliative care. This review was conducted by searching PubMed and Google Scholar databases between 2016 and 2025 using keywords such as “palliative care and artificial intelligence” and “palliative care and artificial intelligence.” The initial search yielded 747 records (PubMed: 541, Google Scholar: 206), and after duplicate removal and title/abstract screening, 43 studies were included in the final analysis. Conducted in accordance with the PRISMA-ScR guideline, the data were reported thematically according to technology type and clinical application areas. Palliative care is a comprehensive healthcare model that aims to improve the quality of life for patients and their families in the advanced stages of life-threatening illnesses. With the development of artificial intelligence technologies today, its use in palliative care has increased. The use of artificial intelligence technology in palliative care offers significant opportunities for nurses to improve the quality of care, while ethical challenges and potential problems in patient care continue. Therefore, this review aims to highlight the opportunities and challenges offered by artificial intelligence technologies for nurses to provide quality services in palliative care.
