Keywords:
motivation; digital health; management; health trainingAbstract
Introduction: Computer technologies have been introduced in the fields of human activity, especially health. However, no research works are detected that train professionals in this sector, especially nurses, to apply these advances to their daily practice. From the exploratory diagnosis carried out, it is detected that there is a poor motivation for digital health management in nursing students.
Objective: To assess a system of actions to increase motivation for digital health in students of the fifth year of the Bachelor’s Degree in Nursing.
Methods: The last year of the degree was selected, as this is the year in which digital health content must be introduced and students have greater preparation to learn about these contents due to their generalizing nature. The selected methods were applied in three sections to assess the increase in students with the presence of indicators of motivation for digital health.
Results: The application of the instruments allowed appreciating a sustained increase in the number of students who have indicators related to motivation for digital health management. The components of digital health and its management are incorporated into their life project as nursing professionals. Three moments of the development of motivation for digital health are obtained.
Conclusions: The proposed system of actions managed to increase the number of students in the fifth year of Nursing, with the presence of the indicators that characterize the motivation for digital health. The students expressed their satisfaction with the system of actions and the motivation for these technologies.
