Tiivistelmä
Technological development and adoption of new technology in healthcare have greatly
affected the work of a nurse. Increased use of technology has created a constant demand
for nurses to develop new skills and competencies. Technology is expected to improve the
quality of care and ease the work of healthcare professionals.
The aim of this literature review was to conduct a research on perceptions of nurses about
the use of technology. The purpose of the study is to provide information for further
studies regarding the implications of technology to nursing practice.
Literature review was implemented by collecting articles from two databases; Cinahl and
PubMed. 10 studies were selected for the study. Finally, articles were analyzed and
evaluated by the Hawker grading system.
Results of this literature review showed that majority of nurses perceive that the
development of technology is positive and essential part of the profession in the future.
Adaptation of new technology was seen to enhance job satisfaction, work performance,
efficiency and reduce stress and anxiety. Further research is recommended to clarify risks
and benefits of implementing new technologies and how it affects both patient centered
care, and nurses’ job satisfaction.
