Abstract:

This systematic review assesses decision support systems used in nursing area in Turkey and effect of these systems on nursing care. This study was conducted using scientific search engines such as Ulakbim Medical Data Base, Turkish Medline Data Base, National Thesis Center, Turkish Citation Index, Turkish Psychiatry Index, Academic Index. As determined, keywords were searched in several combinations. A total of two theses that met the inclusion criteria were involved in the evaluation. This systematic review shows that the studies on this issue are very limited in terms of quantitative perspective but the results are positive. In this context, it is suggested that the number studies which are evaluating the effectiveness of the nursing care with clinical decision support systems are increased and similar studies are planned with various nursing practices.
