Background:

Information and communication technology (ICT) applications offer solutions for elder care challenges.
Staff attitudes and values significantly influence ICT adoption in healthcare, often causing resistance.
Understanding carer perceptions is crucial for successful ICT implementation in aged care settings.

Purpose of the Study:

To explore the values and perceptions of professional carers regarding the use of ICT in elder care.
To identify factors contributing to resistance or acceptance of ICT among aged care staff.

Main Methods:

Qualitative interview study conducted in 2004 with 10 healthcare personnel in Northern Sweden.
Participants had 3-26 years of experience in home care and nursing homes.
Qualitative content analysis was employed to identify recurring themes in carer perceptions.

Main Results:

Carers perceived ICT as a dual-edged sword, capable of promoting both humane and dehumanized care.
This inherent duality led to defensiveness and resistance towards ICT adoption.
Concerns about dehumanized care were linked to the same ICT attributes that could enhance care, highlighting a complex relationship.

Conclusions:

Ethical discussions are essential before introducing ICT in elder care.
Prioritizing the wellbeing and dignity of older adults is paramount.
Acknowledging and addressing carer fears regarding dehumanized care is critical for successful ICT integration.
