How Does Technology Impact Nurse-Patient Relationships?
While technology offers numerous advantages, it is important to maintain the human element in nurse-patient relationships. Technology should be used as a tool to enhance communication and not replace face-to-face interactions. Nurses must ensure that they remain empathetic and attentive to patients' needs, using technology to support their role rather than overshadow it. For instance, using digital tools to schedule follow-ups can free up time for more meaningful interactions with patients.
