Rozzano Locsin:: Technological Competence As Caring in Nursing

This document discusses Rozzano Locsin's theory of technological competence as caring in nursing. The theory aims to illustrate the harmonious relationship between technology and caring, and place nursing in the context of modern healthcare. It posits that technology can bring patients closer to nurses through knowing persons, but can also increase the gap if not used to appreciate patients' humanness. The theory is based on a framework involving multiple ways of knowing patients through empirical, aesthetic, ethical and personal means. It also involves nurses engaging in mutual knowing with patients through technological means to further understand them.
