Abstract

Background: Health technology has greatly influenced the health care system and the interaction between nurses and patients. Caring and caring attribute is the core of the nursing profession; therefore, it is necessary to explore how nursing care is affected by technology. The aim of the study was to explore the effect of technology uses on nursing care and caring attributes from the perspective of pediatric and adult critical care nurses. Design: A descriptive exploratory research design was conducted for fulfilling the aim of this study. Sample: The study sample included a convenience sample of 215 nurses working at pediatric and adult critical care units from different hospitals. Results: the results of the current study showed that the majority of nurses work in pediatric cardiac and surgical ICU (60%). In addition, 39.1% of nurses agree that using technology in nursing care requires highly technical skills. There was a statistically significant difference between nurses' gender, educational qualification, and mean score of total attitudes about caring attributes and the effect of technology on nursing care. Conclusion: Pediatric and adult critical care nurses have a positive attitude regarding technology uses in nursing care. Some negative attitudes concerning technology are reported by nurses because of a lack of knowledge about technology uses and the relationship between technology and patient safety. Recommendation: Educational and training programs are recommended to improve the overall nurses' attitudes about technology uses and advances caring attributes in nursing care.
