| Abstrakt: | Digitization in healthcare is accelerating worldwide. This article focuses on the X-Changery development project involving home-care nurses and their use of the iPad as a new tool in patients' homes. The goal of the project was to bring knowledge from recent research on technological literacy in working life back to a work setting, thus giving nurses new technology competencies with the aim of enhancing their professionalism through the use of the iPad as a work tool. Through field observations, learning labs and focus-group interviews we can see that X-Changery gave home-care nurses a common language to exchange experiences and share knowledge about the iPad as a work tool. Use of the iPad in patients' homes led to new habits and routines. Nurses acquired relational expertise, implying active use of technology. The results show the importance of focusing on and funding reflection on and discussion of the influence of technologies on professionalism. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
