BackgroundEmergency department triage is a vital and complex decision‐making process. There is limited knowledge about nurses' experiences with triage decision support systems in emergency departments.AimThis study was conducted to examine nurses' experiences with a computer‐based triage decision support system in the emergency department.Study DesignThis is a qualitative and phenomenological study. Data were collected through interviews from 14 triage nurses who used a triage decision support system in the emergency department of a university hospital. The nurses were recruited for semi‐structured interviews. All interviews were recorded on a voice recorder and then transcribed. Data were analysed with the inductive content analysis method. The interviewer asked comprehensive questions about the nurses' experiences with the triage decision support system.ResultsThree main and 11 sub‐themes were elicited as a result of the analysis of the in‐depth interviews: (a) the facilitating the triage decision theme, which included help in case of a dilemma, team collaboration, monitoring/supervision, and error reduction sub‐themes; (b) the contribution to professionalism theme, which included ease of learning and teaching triage, professional autonomy, creating a database, and evidence‐based practice sub‐themes; (c) the areas that need improvement theme, which included reducing screen clicks, the effect of the hospital automation system performance, and clinical descriptors not included in the algorithm sub‐themes.ConclusionTriage nurses stated that the decision support system was beneficial and facilitated decision‐making. The decision support system enabled triage nurses to make their own decisions using their clinical knowledge and experience, without a restriction on their professional autonomy, and this was perceived positively. It was emphasized that this system could be a support tool in educating nurses new to triage. However, nurses stated that the pace of the decision support system was affected by the performance of the hospital automation system and that the large number of steps used for electing items caused a waste of time. They also added that these were technical areas that needed improvement.Relevance to Clinical PracticeThe study provides important data that will help healthcare organizations and professionals better understand the emergency department nurse triage decision support system and gain a versatile, comprehensive, and general understanding.

Clinical decision support systems are computer systems that help decision-makers make effective and efficient decisions in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases, patient care, and health institution management. In this study, descriptive and bibliometric analyses were carried out of studies on clinical decision support systems conducted between 2016 and 2021 in journals included in the Web of Science database. In the first stage, the distribution of the articles was determined according to the publication year, country, institution, journal and citation numbers within the scope of descriptive analysis. In the second stage, within the scope of bibliometric analysis, co-author-institution, co-citation-author, cocitation-country and common keyword analysis of the articles were made. As a result of the research, 8052 articles on clinical decision support systems were reached. It was observed that the country with the most studies on this subject are the United States and the institution is Harvard University. It was seen that the journal with the highest number of articles was PLOS ONE. In addition, co-citations, institutional and country collaborations between authors are presented with visual maps. The purpose of this study is to present the studies on clinical decision support systems in a systematic framework and to provide a broad perspective to the researchers and field experts working on this subject.
Amaç: Alerjik hastalıklar hala dünyadaki en çok araştırılan hastalık gruplarındandır. Patogenez, risk faktörleri ve tedavi stratejileri hakkındaki bilgilerimize rağmen, alerjik hastalıkların prevalansının artması önlenememiştir. İnsanların polen ve alerji ilişkisi konularında bilgilenmelerini sağlamak ve alerjik hastalıklara sahip bireylerin günün riskli saatlerinde polene maruziyet etkilenimlerinin azaltılması amacıyla hazırlanan “İzmir Polen Alerji Bülteni Karar Destek Sistemi”nin kullanıcılar üzerindeki etkisini değerlendirmek amaçlanmıştır. Gereç ve Yöntem: Çalışmamızda Şubat 2021-Ağustos 2023 tarihleri arasında https://polenalerji.ege.edu.tr/ adresindeki İzmir İzmir Polen Alerji Bülteni Anketini dolduran 1261 kişinin sonuçları değerlendirilmiştir. Verilere ait değerlendirmeler sayı, yüzde değerleriyle sunulmuş ve karegorik veriler ki kare analiziyle değerlendirilmiştir. Bulgular: Bülteni takip eden Bireylerin %49,4’ü anketi yanıtlamıştır. Bu bireylerin %83,8’inin (1057) alerjisi, %82,1’inin (1027) polen alerjisi bulunmaktadır. Ankete katılanların %63,9’u (791) polene maruz kalma riski ile ilgili olarak web sitemizi takip ettiğini bildirmiştir. Bireylerin %59,1’i (791) günlük yaşam faaliyetlerini planlarken “İzmir Polen Alerji Bülteni”ndeki uyarıları dikkate almaktadır. İzmir Polen Alerji Bülteni”ndeki uyarılar bireylerin %49,2’sinin (603) alerji şikâyetlerinizde azalma meydana getirmiştir. İnternet sitemizi çevrenizdekilere tavsiye edeceğini bildiren 1114 (%90,4) birey bulunmaktadır. Katılımcıların %85,7’si (1053) https://polenalerji.ege.edu.tr linki ile ulaşılabilen polen alerji bülteninden memnun olduğunu bildirmiştir. Sonuç: Astım, alerjik rinit gibi polene maruziyette alevlenmelerin ortaya çıkabildiği hastalıklarda bireylerin kendilerini polen maruziyetinden korumaları önemlidir. Polen maruziyeti arttığında sağlık kurumlarına yapılan başvuruların da pozitif şekilde artması beklenmektedir. İzmir Polen Alerji Bülteni Karar Destek Sistemi çıktıları göz önüne alındığında hastalara ait korunma desteğinin sağlanabileceği ve sağlık sistemine binen yükün azaltılabileceği görülmüştür.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
