“Do nurses control the information technology tools, or do
the tools control nurses as users of technology”?
In this generation these gadgets are now essential in the
society nowadays because they make life faster and easier. New gadgets keeps
coming to the market with latest and advanced features every day and targets
most of the population including Nurses. Nurses often deals with considerable
stress throughout the course of their jobs so by using information
technologies, it makes them easier to assist individuals with neat gadgets. Neat
gadgets? I personally read this specific article on how would they use gadgets
in the Operating room without contaminating them, the idea of autoclaving a
gadget would definitely destroy it so they thought of using plastics that are
sterile to cover them like the image below.
In my opinion, the decision is neutral because Nurses need
these technologies by counteracting human error, putting nurses where they can
be most effective and improving human behaviour without it they can be putting
their licenses at risk by doing errors in connection to nursing ethics. Nurses need
these technologies but in the same time they don’t depend on it that much, they
can use their abilities and critical thinking and what they have learned when studying the profession
they have chosen in order to give care to patients.
