technology in supporting independence. It examines
the place of AT in the current policy context and
describes the current evidence to demonstrate how
AT can support independence. It analyses the current
obstacles to progress and explains how change can
be introduced.

SANDELOWSKI, M., 1998.
Looking to care or caring to look? Technology and
the rise of spectacular nursing. Holistic nursing
practice, 12 (4), 1-11.
In this article the author argues that there is
a risk that the use of distancing technologies,
such as those involved in e-health, could result
in nurses acting as medical substitutes, thereby
perpetuating medical notions of care delivery. This
article challneges nurses engaged in ehealth to
consider the extent to which nursing values can
become compromised by the technology they are using. |
