Tiivistelmä
Health care systems are facing multiple challenges leading to transformation of existing care models. Information and communication technologies can play a key role in modern healthcare solutions.
The aim of this study was to gather and analyse evidence base knowledge related to cancer patient’s experiences with the use of innovative healthcare technologies based on the existing research.The purpose of this study was to provide information about healthcare experience, from the cancer patient point of view, that can be used as a resource for the nurses and nursing students.
Research method applied in this study was literature review. Articles used in the research were obtained from CINAHL, PubMed and Elsevier Science Direct. Selection of articles was based on inclusion and exclusion criteria.
Thematic analysis was applied in the analysis and synthesis of data of the fifteen selected articles. In results, four main themes emerged. The identified themes were: empowerment of cancer patients resulting from use of the innovative technologies in their care, experience of receiving more personalised care, improvement in treatment effectiveness and lastly reduction in the inequalities in the access to care.
During research, it was discovered that use of technology is highly acceptable for the cancer patients and positively impacts their healthcare experience. However, technological innovation can only be meaningful if it promotes patient-centred multidisciplinary care, improves on existing standard of care, extends as well as improves life quality and reduces inequalities in care.
