“…A linguagem de enfermagem padronizada facilita o encontro, processamento e gestão de uma enorme quantidade de dados e, a informação colabora para o progresso da prática clínica, pesquisa, educação e disseminação dos saberes em enfermagem (Silva, 2016 (Sá, Oliveira & Nabais, 2018).…”

“…Distribuição das categorias, unidades de registo e enumeração relativamente ao tema "Como as TIC o podem ajudar a cuidar a pessoa doente/doença crónica" controle dos sintomas, logo permitem uma melhor autogestão da sua condição, diminuindo as visitas ao hospital e, melhor adesão ao regime terapêutico. Existe neste âmbito evidência que as TIC têm efeitos positivos em pessoas com doenças crónicas, nomeadamente na promoção da autocuidado e, de autogestão da sua saúde(Sá, Oliveira & Nabais, 2018). De acordo comCowie et al (2016), a e-saúde tem o potencial de fornecer soluções inovadoras para os problemas de saúde da população, que se encontra cada vez mais familiarizada e habilitada para a utilização das TIC.…”

Resumo. O desenvolvimento da ciência e da tecnologia introduziu mudanças significativas na área de saúde, constituindo um desafio para a prestação dos cuidados de enfermagem. Na formação dos enfermeiros, vários tipos de equipamentos e tecnologias educacionais são utilizados salientando-se as tecnologias de informação e comunicação (TIC), cujo objetivo é facilitar o processo de ensinoaprendizagem, complementando os métodos de ensino tradicionais. As escolas de enfermagem têm por objetivo preparar futuros enfermeiros habilitados a utilizar as novas tecnologias emergentes e trabalhar em contextos diversificados. Neste artigo, pretendeu-se compreender a importância que os estudantes de enfermagem atribuem às TIC no processo de formação. A metodologia adotada foi a realização de entrevistas individuais com estudantes de enfermagem, no tratamento de dados utilizou-se a análise de conteúdo. Os resultados revelaram que os estudantes reconhecem as vantagens das TIC na sua aprendizagem como futuros profissionais de saúde. Estes usam principalmente o computador e telemóvel com o objetivo de realizar pesquisa, comunicar e efetuar estudo autónomo, o que facilita o processo de ensino-aprendizagem, a tomada de decisão e a promoção da continuidade nos cuidados de enfermagem. Os estudantes de enfermagem consideram as TIC como ferramentas facilitadoras não só no contexto académico, mas também na prática clínica.

“…Other systems explored include the use of Personal Digital Assistants (PDAs) [ 75 ] or smartphones. There is a large number of simple applications [ 76 , 77 , 78 ] that can send alarms to predetermined contacts to let them know whether the user has taken their medication or not [ 79 , 80 , 81 ], while others can improve communications with healthcare providers [ 82 ]. These different technological solutions have improved the rates of treatment adherence [ 83 , 84 ], as well as allowing more secure and regular monitoring of patients [ 85 , 86 ].…”

The increasingly common scenario of an ageing population is related to a rise in the prevalence of problems associated with chronic conditions and comorbidities. Polypharmacy is frequent among this population, and it is a situation that can create medication management and adherence issues. This article introduces the features and functionalities of a voice assistant (Assistant on Health and Care Offline, ACHO) that aims to facilitate treatment adherence among elderly adults. Specifically adapted for its use in rural contexts, it does not require an Internet connection. Its development consisted of two stages: a first stage of problem diagnosis, in which the classic tools of ethnographic fieldwork were used, and a second stage of design implementing methodologies developed by Ambient Assisted Living (AAL) programmes. The main design characteristic of this new digital care system is that it is adapted to the needs of its end-users. It includes features such as voice customisation and the personal identification of medication, it can be connected to other digital devices, and information is introduced and supervised by healthcare professionals. These custom features introduce a safer medication administration procedure, improve supervision strategies, and increase patients’ trust in the prescription process.

“…It also stood out the students' opinion that these tools are important for the management of the disease mainly through the applications that allow the communication between nurse-patient, giving the necessary information to the patient and family, increasing the adhesion of behaviors associated to healthy lifestyles, knowledge and information about the control of symptoms and therapeutic regimes that allow a better self-management of their condition, decreasing the visits to the hospital. ICT's have positive effects in the patients with chronic diseases, with very positive effects in the promotion of self-care and in self-management of their health [17].…”

The development of science due to the progressive technological discoveries led to significant changes in the people health care, requiring a more complex and demanding nursing care. Nowadays, in the upbringing of nurses, they may use several types of equipment and educational technologies that benefit from information and communication technologies (ICT), whose goal is to facilitate the learning process. Most of the emerging tools provide high-quality learning experiences effectively and economically. The use of ICT supplements traditional instructional methods. The role of nursing education is to prepare the future nurses to work in several environments. So, nursing schools need to train nurses to work with different technologies and applications (apps), in a digital world. In this paper, we aim to understand the importance attributed to ICT in the learning process among nursing students. According to the methodology adopted we performed individual interviews with nursing students. Data were treated through content analysis, after being transcribed and analyzed, using a typical statistical software. Findings revealed that students emphasize the importance of ICT in the academical process and the advantages it brings to them as future health professionals. Nursing students most usually use the computer and cell phone with the goal of doing research, gather information and interact with peers, allowing communication and for autonomous study. ICT is understood as a means for a quick and easy access to information, facilitating the learning process and contributing to take decisions in the nursing care based upon scientific evidence. It is also central in the communication between nurse and patient, and between health professionals, promoting the continuity of care and support patients with chronic diseases. In sum, nursing students consider ICT essential as a facilitator in the research and communication, not only in an academic context (in theoretical and practical classes) but also in health units' context.
