While the increase in lifesaving technology has extended both
the length and quality of life for patients, critics have argued
that health care professionals often read the technology rather
than the patient. This critique strikes at the heart of nursing,
which defines itself in terms of care for the whole person.
Providing a comprehensive review of the issues surrounding the
rapidly emerging field of technology, this collection describes how
the nursing profession faces and deals with technological
advances.
The complexities of technology intimately influence aspects of
nursing in every setting, and directly challenge caring as the
essence of nursing. The present collection gives practicing nurses,
students of basic and advanced nursing, and other health care
professionals an overview of the contemporary situation of
technology in mainstream health care and how it impacts on the
quality of that care.
