Günümüzde küreselleşme, siber devrim, ekonomik rekabet, bilginin geniş yayılımı, bilgi ve iletişim teknolojilerinde yaşanan değişme ve gelişmeler; birey, aile ve toplumun sağlığını geliştirme, koruma ve sürdürmelerine, yaşam kalitelerini artırmalarına yönelik gerekli bilgilere ulaşmalarını sağlamak amacıyla gerçekleştirilecek sağlık eğitimlerini gerekli kılmaktadır. Sağlık eğitimi; bireyin değerlerini, inançlarını, tutumlarını etkileyerek sağlıklı ve nitelikli yaşamını destekleyecek davranışlar kazanmasını ve iyi davranışları alışkanlık hâline getirmesini sağlayan dinamik bir süreçtir. Bu süreçte hemşireler, birey, aile ve topluma yönelik sağlık eğitiminde rol alan en önemli sağlık profesyonellerinden biridir. Sağlık profesyonelleri olarak hemşirelerin yaşanan bu değişme ve gelişmeleri dikkate alarak sağlık eğitiminde farklı teknolojileri (Wiki, blog, podcast, YouTube, çevrim içi video oyunları, avatarlar, sosyal medya vb.) kullanmaları ve bu teknolojilerden yararlanmaları kaçınılmaz hâle gelmiştir. Sağlık eğitiminde bilişim teknolojilerinin kullanımı; bireysel sağlığın kontrolünü ve değerlendirilmesini, sağlıkla ilgili bilgilerin toplanmasını ve işlenmesini sağlamakta, gerekli kaynakların kullanımını kolaylaştırmakta, farklı öğrenme stillerine sahip bireylerin karmaşık konuları kendi hızlarında anlamalarını mümkün kılmaktadır. Ayrıca sağlık eğitiminde bilişim teknolojilerinin kullanımı, bilginin hızlı bir şekilde yayılmasını sağlayarak sağlıklı birey, aile ve toplumun sağlığı hakkında daha fazla bilgi sahibi olmasını, kendi sağlığıyla ilgili kararlar almasını ve sağlık hizmetlerinin daha etkin kullanılmasını desteklemektedir. Bu bağlamda derlemede; sağlık eğitiminde kullanılacak bilişim teknolojileri (Wiki, blog, podcast, YouTube, çevrim içi video oyunları, avatarlar, sosyal medya, mobil teknoloji) ve bu teknolojilerin güçlü ve zayıf yönleri üzerinde durulması amaçlanmaktadır.
Anahtar Kelimeler: Sağlık eğitimi; bilişim teknolojileri; bilişim; teknoloji; hemşirelik
Today, globalization, cyber revolution, economic competition and wide spread of information, changes and developments in information and communication technologies made it obligatory to use different technologies while providing health education to ensure that individuals, families and society reach the necessary information to improve, protect and maintain their health, and to increase their quality of life, and that nurses also benefit from these technologies in health education they will perform within the scope of the role of educators. Health education is a dynamic process that enables individuals to acquire behavioral changes that will support a healthy and qualified life by affecting their values, beliefs and attitudes and to make good behaviors a habit. In this process, nurses are one of the most important health professionals involved in health education for individuals, families and society. As health professionals, it has become inevitable for nurses to use and benefit from different technologies (Wiki, blog, podcast, YouTube, online video games, avatars, social media, etc.) in health education, taking into account these changes and developments. The usage of information technologies in health education ensures the control and evaluation of individual health, the collection and processing of many health-related information, facilitates the usage of necessary resources, and enables individuals with different learning styles to understand complex issues at their own pace. The usage of information technologies in health education also enables the rapid spread of information, to have more information about the health of the healthy individual, family and society, to make decisions about their own health, and to support the more effective usage of health services. In this context, information technologies (Wiki, blog, podcast, YouTube, online video games, avatars, social media, mobile technology) to be used in health education and the strengths and weaknesses of these technologies will be discussed in this review.
