Melita Peršolja, 2025, review article
Abstract: The purpose of this literature review was to identify the evidence on the outcomes of digitalisation of schedules in nursing. Data were gathered from CINAHL, Medline, Cochrane Library, PubMed, ScienceDirect, JSTOR and SpringerLink electronic databases. Seventy-four relevant literature items were identified. Ten studies published between 2015 and 2024 were evaluated and critically analysed using the JBI Critical Appraisal Checklist: four systematic literature reviews, three quasi-experimental studies, two case studies, and one qualitative descriptive study. The literature on electronic schedules in nursing reports on a variety of positive and negative impacts on nurses, patients and healthcare organisations. The introduction of electronic schedules in nursing is has mainly positive consequences, because if appropriately implemented, it leads to better patient health outcomes and increased job satisfaction among nurses. However, the developments in the field are ongoing and more research on that topic is needed before a firmer conclusion can be reached.
