Qualitative study on the impact of intelligent excretion care systems on nursing prac-tices for critically ill patients
Objective To explore the impact of intelligent excretion care systems on nursing practices for critically ill patients and pro-vide insights for the advancement of intelligent rehabilitation nursing.Methods A descriptive qualitative study was conducted from March to May 2024,involving semi-structured interviews with 12 nurses who had experience with intelligent excretion care sys-tems.Data were analyzed using content analysis method.Results Three main themes emerged:(1)reduction in nursing workload(including decreased work stress and alleviation of physical and mental strain on nurses);(2)risks associated with the system's use(including systemic risks and challenges to traditional care models);(3)nurses'needs for system enhancement(such as a clear and intuitive interface,continuous comfort optimization,and the integration of convenience with precision).Conclusion The intelli-gent excretion care system positively reduces the physical burden on nurses.During its use,patient-centered adjustments are nee-ded to achieve such aims as enhancing safety and reliability,precisionly quantifing clinical monitoring metrics,and further optimi-zing the system to meet patient needs.
