Robot Hemşireler

Öz

Sağlık hizmetlerinde robotların kullanımı, artan yaşlı nüfusa bağlı olarak hemşire ve bakım personelinin yetersiz kalması ve teknolojideki gelişmelerin hastalara daha etkin bakım sağlaması sonucu ortaya çıkmıştır. Son dönemde robotların gelişmesiyle ilgili ilerlemeler gelecekte hemşirelik uygulamalarında önemli bir yere sahip olacağını düşündürmektedir. Robotların kullanımı ile insan hemşirelerin mesleği ellerinden alacağı endişesi ve robotların insani duygularının hasta bakımında yetersizliği gündeme gelmiştir. Hemşirelik uygulamaları son derece insani uygulamalardır ve uygulamaların tamamıyla robotlara atfedilmemesi gereken durumları olabilir. Bunlar hesap verilebilirlik ve savunuculuk gibi etik kavramların yanı sıra iş birliği ve bakım gibi daha insani kavramlarda yer almaktadır. Hemşirelikte etik kavramlar olarak hastaya bakım verme ve bakım almasının sağlanması, önemseme ve ilgilenme gibi konuların robotlar tarafından uygulanmasının mümkün olup olmadığı da önemli bir yaklaşımdır. Diğer taraftan ise hasta bakımının özgünlüğü ve hastaya şefkatli bakım sunulması hemşirelik uygulamalarının çok yönlülüğünü göstermektedir. Fakat belki de yaşlanan ve artan nüfus karşısında robotların desteği ileri de hemşireleri memnun da edebilir. Bu makale, robot hemşirelerle ilgili kavramları tartışmakta ve meslektaş olarak insanlar ve robotlar arasındaki ayrımları, zorlukları ve etik ikilemleri incelemektedir.

The use of robots in health services has emerged as a result of the inadequacy of nurses and nursing staff due to the increasing elderly population and the developments in technology to provide more effective care to patients. Recent advances in the development of robots suggest that they will have an important place in nursing practice in the future. With the use of robots, the concern that human nurses will take over the profession and the inadequacy of robots' human emotions in patient care have come to the agenda. Nursing practices are extremely human practices and there may be situations that should not be attributed entirely to robots. These include ethical concepts such as accountability and advocacy, as well as more human concepts such as collaboration and care. As ethical concepts in nursing, it is also an important approach whether it is possible for robots to implement issues such as giving and receiving care to the patient, caring and caring. On the other hand, the uniqueness of patient care and providing compassionate care to the patient shows the versatility of nursing practices. But perhaps the support of robots in the face of aging and increasing population may also please nurses in the future. This article discusses concepts related to robot nurses and examines the distinctions, challenges and ethical dilemmas between humans and robots as colleagues.
