PMID 33406273WHAT IT FOUND
This paper outlines proposed strategies for nursing in the post-pandemic era, focusing on digital literacy, non-contact care, and global cooperation.
It describes workforce challenges and policy recommendations rather than testing clinical interventions or reporting patient outcomes.
Key findings

02Nurses are identified as needing digital literacy to lead new non-contact healthcare services and operate technologies like AI and IoT.

What it does not show
The paper is a narrative review and SWOT analysis, not a study with a defined methodology for data synthesis. The literature search did not include quality evaluation of the included articles. The strategies proposed are based on the authors' interpretation of the Korean context and global trends, not on tested interventions. The cited surveys are cross-sectional and self-reported, which may be subject to recall bias and social desirability bias. No patient outcomes were measured or reported.
The easy way to misread this
Do not interpret the proposed strategies or the SWOT analysis as evidence that these interventions improve patient outcomes or clinical efficiency. This is a position paper describing workforce issues and future directions for the nursing profession, not a clinical trial or systematic review of care practices.
