- Digitalization and ICT can enhance individual and community care, but Japanese public health nurses (PHNs) face challenges in monitoring staff performance and assessing community health levels due to a lack of digital tools.
- This study aims to create and validate an electronic recording system to evaluate and improve public health nursing practices and address health needs.
- The research includes a two-phase design where an architectural framework and algorithm were developed, with input from experts, to create a cloud-based practice recording system for daily and termly evaluations.
This umbrella review followed the JBI methodology and synthesized systematic reviews of the effectiveness of long-term home visit nursing for older people (≥ 60 years) on improving mortality, hospitalization, institutionalization, patient satisfaction, and quality of life. Eight bibliographic databases were searched, and 10 reviews with 22 distinct relevant trials (n = 10,765 participants) were included. Mortality was the most frequently examined outcome and satisfaction was the least examined (n = nine and one reviews, respectively).
