This study reframes the nursing-technology relationship by analyzing gender within the social history of technology. It highlights nurses' agency in shaping healthcare technology and knowledge domains.

Area of Science:

  • Social history of technology
  • Gender studies in healthcare
  • Nursing informatics

Background:

  • Traditional analyses of technology and consumers reinforce gender and hierarchy in nursing.
  • Existing frameworks fail to capture the nuanced relationship between nurses and technology.
  • A new analytical framework is needed to understand this dynamic.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To propose a new framework for analyzing the technology-nursing relationship using gender analysis.
  • To examine the early nurse practitioner movement as a gendered technologic system.
  • To illuminate nurses' agency in shaping healthcare knowledge domains.

Main Methods:

  • Social history of technology methodology
  • Analysis of gender within the healthcare technologic network
