Description: This is a study about how staff nurses view medical technology and integrate it into nursing practice. The impact of technology on health care institutions is considerable. The nurse is the key actor in these settings. The subject of nursing and technology use is complex. A grounded theory research approach was indicated. Forty-five nurses were interviewed about their perception of technology's influence on their work. Using the medium of participant observation, nurses were also observed in practice.
