Health operators make use of technology more and more frequently and with greater confidence and conviction. Many patients, however, seem to distrust and have difficulty in accepting some of the technological applications which are quite widely used in our country in the diagnosis and therapy of many diseases.The role of mediating between patients and technology usually falls to nurses since it is they, not only because they have the appropriate cultural and scientific background but also because they are the personnel who have the closest contact with the patients, who are thus better able to perceive their needs. Therefore, nurses are a bridge connecting, in a positive and useful way, the technological world with the subjectivity of human being and can help to avoid the risk of "de-humanization" due to the widespread use of machines and instruments in the medical environment. Nurses can and must influence biomedical engineers and technicians into taking into account not only the practical needs in the health care but also the other "psycological" needs which are only apparently of minor importance but which, however, help towards gaining patients' compliance and make the use of technology more "human". |
