BACKGROUND: The adoption of smart technologies for patient care is greatly increasing. IoT-based smart mattresses offer features such as automatic body repositioning for pressure ulcer prevention, weight measurement, vital sign tracking, and rapid response to emergencies. This study explores nurses' perspectives on the adoption of smart technologies, with a particular focus on smart mattresses in hospitals.
METHODS: Focus group interviews were conducted with 17 nurses from intensive care parts, general wards, and COVID-19 designated wards in a tertiary university hospital in South Korea. Data were collected through online meetings and analyzed using thematic analysis.
RESULTS: Thematic analysis revealed six major themes and 14 subthemes under three categories. Patient-related perspectives included themes of 'difficulties in meeting patients' care needs' and 'identified areas for technology adoption based on patient care experiences.' Nursing-related perspectives encompassed 'potentials of smart technology for nursing care' and 'increased time and workload due to new device usage.' Technology-related perspectives included 'previous experience with technology devices' and 'expectations for in-development devices.'
CONCLUSIONS: Nurses generally expressed receptiveness to smart technologies including smart mattresses, recognizing their potential to enhance patient care and nursing efficiency. Perspectives varied by department, highlighting the need for tailored solutions. Prior experiences, both positive and negative, offered important insights for designing devices that are more compatible with clinical practice. Incorporating nurses' feedback and addressing educational needs are critical for successful adoption.
