Enhancing patient care with the use of technology

Abstract

The purpose of the research study was to examine how patient care technology mediates the interpersonal relationship between the patient and the nurse during care delivery in the acute care setting. The conceptual framework for the study was derived from three mid-range theories: Locsin"s Technological Competency as Caring in Nursing (2005); Swanson"s The Structure of Caring (1993); and Kostovich"s Model of Nursing Presence (2012). Study aims were to quantitatively describe the levels of nurse technological competency as caring, patient perceptions of caring and nurse presence, and to examine the relationships among demographic variables and the study variables. Secondly, the study qualitatively explored nurses" and patients" perceptions of technological device use in care delivery.
