Abstract

The fast evolution in the implementation of new technologies in the healthcare environment has created a wide range of new tools for applying patient care and their pathologies’ control. In the hospital background, this implementation has been continuous and adapted to each category, easing the learning and acceptance. It has not happened likewise in the Primary Care environment because the degree of acceptance of the new digital tools and their use being ignored. By this narrative review of the literature, the aim is to objectify the need to carry out research studies for assessing the attitudes and skills of Nursing professionals in the primary care setting in the acceptance of new technologies by means of validated tools, for, with their correct implantation, apply nursing care that facilitates healthy aging for patients through new digital tools. The limited literature on research previous to the implementation of new digital tools focused on health for professionals makes it necessary to evaluate the health population to identify facilitators and barriers in the implementation of new tools. This seems to be a previous step for a correct implementation in favor of quality nursing care for the population attended through the new information and communication technologies.
