  • Title: The effects of technology on relatives in critical care environments.
    Author: Stroud R.
    Journal: Nurs Crit Care; 1997; 2(6):272-5. PubMed ID: 9887762.
    Abstract:
    Technology has both good and bad effects and is both the cause of and solution to many problems. Demonstrating a clear understanding of and competence with technology is one important way in which staff can foster relatives' confidence and trust. A number of emotional and behavioural responses to technology in spouses are highlighted. Fear, curiosity and security are relevant to relative's perceptions and responses.
