Area of Science:

  • Nursing
  • Technology Studies
  • Bioethics

Background:

  • Scholarship in reproductive technologies, imaging, and emergency resuscitation is examined.
  • The humanist view separating technology as nonhuman is questioned.
  • Dehumanization is linked to technology's use, context, meaning, and systemic integration, not technology itself.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To question the assumed boundary between technology and humane care in nursing.
  • To advocate for reconciling perceived tensions between technology and person-focused care.
  • To prompt a re-evaluation of the relationship between technology and nursing practice.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of recent social science scholarship.
  • Examination of arguments questioning humanist divides.

  • Exploration of contextual factors influencing technology's impact on care.
  • Main Results:

    • The presumed boundary between technology and humane care is invalid.
    • Technology itself is not the cause of dehumanization; its application and systemic context are key.
    • The definition of 'human' and the socio-political-economic system influence care experiences.

    Conclusions:

    • The common approach to resolve technology-humane care tensions may misattribute impersonal care to technology.
    • Re-examining the interplay of technology, humane care, and nursing practice is encouraged.
    • A nuanced understanding of technology's role in nursing is essential.
