    Abstract Background: The transformation in global demography and the shortage of health care workers require innovation and efficiency in the field of health care. Digital technology can help improve the efficiency of health care. The Mercury Advance SMARTcare solution is an example of digital technology. The system is connected to a hybrid mattress and is able to detect patient movement, based on which the air pump either starts automatically or sends a notification to the app. Barriers to the adoption of the system are unknown, and it is unclear if the solution will be able to support health care workers in their work.
    Objective: This study aims to gain insight into health care workers' expectations of factors that could either hamper or support the adoption of the Mercury Advance SMARTcare unit connected to a Mercury Advance mattress to help prevent patients from developing pressure injuries in hospitals and long-term care facilities.
    Methods: We conducted a generic qualitative study from February to December 2022. Interviews were conducted, and a focus group was established using an interview guide of health care workers from both the United Kingdom and the Netherlands. Thematic analysis was performed by 2 independent researchers.
    Results: A total of 14 participants took part in the study: 6 (43%) participants joined the focus group, and 8 (57%) participants took part in the individual interviews. We identified 13 factors based on four themes: (1) factors specifically related to SMARTresponse, (2) vision on innovation, (3) match with health care activities, and (4) materials and resources involved. Signaling function, SMARTresponse as prevention, patient category, representatives, and implementation strategy were identified as facilitators. Perception of patient repositioning, accessibility to pressure injury aids, and connectivity were identified as barriers.
    Conclusions: Several conditions must be met to enhance the adoption of the Mercury Advance SMARTcare solution, including the engagement of representatives during training and a reliable wireless network. The identified factors can be used to facilitate the implementation process.

    Abstract Introduction: Given the complexity of teaching clinical reasoning to (future) healthcare professionals, the utilization of serious games has become popular for supporting clinical reasoning education. This scoping review outlines games designed to support teaching clinical reasoning in health professions education, with a specific emphasis on their alignment with the 8-step clinical reasoning cycle and the reflective practice framework, fundamental for effective learning.
    Methods: A scoping review using systematic searches across seven databases (PubMed, CINAHL, ERIC, PsycINFO, Scopus, Web of Science, and Embase) was conducted. Game characteristics, technical requirements, and incorporation of clinical reasoning cycle steps were analyzed. Additional game information was obtained from the authors.
    Results: Nineteen unique games emerged, primarily simulation and escape room genres. Most games incorporated the following clinical reasoning steps: patient consideration (step 1), cue collection (step 2), intervention (step 6), and outcome evaluation (step 7). Processing information (step 3) and understanding the patient's problem (step 4) were less prevalent, while goal setting (step 5) and reflection (step 8) were least integrated.
    Conclusion: All serious games reviewed show potential for improving clinical reasoning skills, but thoughtful alignment with learning objectives and contextual factors is vital. While this study aids health professions educators in understanding how games may support teaching of clinical reasoning, further research is needed to optimize their effective use in education. Notably, most games lack explicit incorporation of all clinical reasoning cycle steps, especially reflection, limiting its role in reflective practice. Hence, we recommend prioritizing a systematic clinical reasoning model with explicit reflective steps when using serious games for teaching clinical reasoning.

    Abstract Background: Due to the globally increasing demand for care, innovation is important to maintain quality, safety, effectiveness, patient sensitivity, and outcome orientation. Health care technologies could be a solution to innovate, maintain, or improve the quality of care and simultaneously decrease nurses' workload. Currently, nurses are rarely involved in the design of health care technologies, mostly due to time constraints with clinical nursing responsibilities and limited exposure to technology and design disciplines. To ensure that health care technologies fit into nurses' core and routine practice, nurses should be actively involved in the design process.
    Objective: The aim of the present study was to explore the main requirements for nurses' active participation in the design of health care technologies.
    Design: An exploratory descriptive qualitative design was used which helps to both understand and describe a phenomenon.
    Participants: Twelve nurses from three academic hospitals in the Netherlands participated in this study.
    Method: Data were collected from semistructured interviews with hospital nurses experienced in design programs and thematically analysed.
    Results: Four themes were identified concerning the main requirements for nurses to participate in the design of health care technologies: (1) nurses' motivations to participate, (2) the process of technology development, (3) required competence to participate (such as assertiveness, creative thinking, problem solving skills), and (4) facilitating and organizing nurses' participation.
    Conclusion: Nurses experience their involvement in the design process as essential, distinctive, and meaningful but experience few possibilities to combine this work with their current workload, flows, routines, and requirements. To participate in the design of health care technologies nurses need motivation and specific competencies. Organizations should facilitate time for nurses to acquire the required competencies and to be intentionally involved in technology design and development activities.

    Abstract Background: In home care, eHealth implementation requires health care professionals and home care clients to change their behavior because they have to incorporate the use of eHealth into their daily routines. Knowledge of factors that influence the use of eHealth in home care is needed to optimize implementation strategies. However, a comprehensive overview of such factors is lacking.
    Objective: The aims of this study were to (1) provide insight into the types of eHealth that are used and preferred in home care and (2) identify factors that influence the use of eHealth in home care according to health care professionals and home care clients.
    Methods: A scoping review and online, cross-sectional survey were conducted sequentially. The survey was conducted among Dutch health care professionals with a nursing background who were working for a home care organization at the time. The capability, opportunity, motivation, behavior (COM-B) model, which posits that for any behavior (B) to occur, a person must have the capability (C), opportunity (O), and motivation (M) to perform the behavior, was used to identify influencing factors. The use of a theoretical model may contribute to a better understanding of how to achieve and sustain behavior change in clinical practice.
    Results: We included 30 studies in the scoping review. The most frequently studied type of eHealth was a telecommunication/telemonitoring system. The survey was completed by 102 participants. The most frequently used types of eHealth were electronic health records, social alarms, and online client portals. A health app was the most frequently preferred type of eHealth. We identified 22 factors that influence the use of eHealth in home care according to health care professionals and home care clients. Influencing factors were organized into the components of the COM-B model, namely capability (n=6), opportunity (n=10), and motivation (n=6). We found that there is no single influencing factor that is key to the complexity of eHealth implementation.
    Conclusions: Different types of eHealth are used, and many types of eHealth are preferred by health care professionals. The identified factors that influence the use of eHealth in home care relate to all components of the COM-B model. These factors need to be addressed and embedded in implementation strategies of eHealth to optimize the use of eHealth in home care.

    Abstract Background: As the use of telemedicine proliferates in community care, it is essential to ensure practice recommendations and guidelines are available to assist healthcare providers in providing telemedicine-based care. This study aimed to develop entrustable professional activities (EPAs) for nursing home nurses involved in telemedicine consultations.
    Aim: To develop entrustable professional activities (EPAs) for nursing home nurses involved in telemedicine consultations.
    Design: Modified Delphi study.
    Methods: The study was conducted in two stages. First, content analysis of 28 healthcare provider interviews and literature review on telemedicine competencies was conducted to develop an initial list of EPAs. An expert workgroup comprising of an international panel of academics and clinicians reviewed the activities. In the second stage, a three-round e-Delphi technique was used to develop telemedicine EPAs for nurses in long-term care. Descriptive statistics and qualitative feedback were distributed to participants after each round. Agreement within survey rounds was computed.
    Results: Six core telemedicine EPAs with 28 descriptors were developed, from preparing the resident for the teleconsultation encounter to follow-up care post-teleconsultation. Agreement coefficients were high across all Delphi rounds.
    Conclusion: This study identifies the core functions that long-term care nurses' are expected to perform in telemedicine consultations. The internationally relevant EPAs are sufficiently broad to be adapted to design telemedicine training and workplace-based assessment for nurses. Organisations may utilise the EPAs as a resource during the implementation process of telemedicine services in long-term care in designing nursing workflow and complement the learning and development of nurses for telemedicine services. Equipping long-term care nurses with this resource can ensure consistency, patient safety and quality of teleconsultations delivered to nursing home residents. However, further work is required to expand the EPAs for application to practice.

    Abstract Background: The strain on health care services is increasing due to an ageing population and the increasing prevalence of chronic health conditions. eHealth could contribute to optimise effective and efficient care to older adults with one or more chronic health conditions in the general practice.
    Aim: The aim of this study was to identify the needs, barriers and facilitators amongst community-dwelling older adults (60+) suffering from one or more chronic health conditions, in using online eHealth applications to support general practice services.
    Methods: A qualitative study, using semi-structured followed by think-aloud interviews, was conducted in the Netherlands. The semi-structured interviews, supported by an interview guide were conducted and analysed thematically. The think-aloud method was used to collect data about the cognitive process while the participant was completing a task within online eHealth applications. Verbal analysis according to the Chi approach was conducted to analyse the think-aloud interviews.
    Findings: A total of n = 19 older adults with a mean age of 73 years participated. The ability to have immediate contact with the GP on important health issues was identified as an important need. Identified barriers were non-familiarity with the online eHealth applications and a mismatch of user health needs. The low computer experience resulted in non-familiarity with the online eHealth applications. Faltering applications resulted in participants refusing to participate in the use of online eHealth applications. Convenience, efficiency and the instant availability of eHealth via applications were identified as important facilitators.
    Conclusion: To improve the use and acceptability of eHealth applications amongst older adults in the general practice, the applications should be tailored to meet individual needs. More attention should be given to improving the user-friendliness of these applications and to the promotion of the benefits such as facilitating older adults independent living for longer.

    Abstract The widespread use of telehealth, providing healthcare remotely, is hampered by various barriers. Dutch nurses currently working in practice never received education in this new way of healthcare delivery. Education is frequently suggested as a strategy to overcome barriers in telehealth use. However, the nature and effectiveness of such education has not yet been specified and tested in practice. In a previous study, we identified 14 nursing telehealth activities and accompanying competencies. In the current study, we established the effectiveness of training in these competencies on nurses' subjective knowledge, self-efficacy and usage of telehealth. A two-day tailored training program in nursing telehealth activities was evaluated in a Dutch context among 37 participants across three settings: (a) twelve primary care (PC), (b) fourteen homecare (HC) and (c) eleven hospital (H) nurses. In each team, telehealth knowledge significantly increased during the training sessions. In each team, nurses' telehealth self-efficacy also significantly increased 6-10 weeks after the training. After the training, the number of remote consultations increased from 2 to 12 in primary care, 12 to 35 in homecare and decreased from 28 to 17 in the hospital setting. We conclude that training nurses in telehealth activities contributes to their knowledge and self-efficacy.
