Computerization and nursing
The overwhelming development of personal computers, the intranet
and the Internet is transforming the work methods of nurses,
physicians, and other healthcare staff members who work in
hospital settings. Two of the most distinctive technologies available
and used in current health care settings are the ordering systems and
the use of electric care cards. The functionalities of these
technologies are irreplaceable. For example, when a patient
undergoing an examination at an internal medicine clinic is given an
”
order for a prescription, the ordering system makes it possible to
send that data to each department instantly. By using electric cards,
clinical data and nursing data are recorded and shared with multiple
professionals

Revealed in this theory is a practical process of relationship
advanced as the transactive engagement between human persons
(patients) and caring, As such, the theory illustrates a unique and
emerging practice of nursing. The realization of human and
intelligent machine transactions in human health care has been
the impetus for the development of the Transactive Relationship
Theory of Nursing. As the demands and needs for quality health
care rise, particularly in environments poor in human resources
and among the older adult population, the use of human-
machine process requirements is intensified, and the realities
and consequences of transactive relationships have become
integral to assuring quality human health care “Transactive” is a
term that focuses on the transactional nature of things. As an
active process, it illuminates the main feature of the relationship
between human-to-human and human-to-intelligent machines
which is that it is always a transaction. The term delineates as
well as illuminates the relationship between HNRs and human
persons (patients). The TRETON is a theoretical transactive
engagement, and as such, the process of nursing is an ‘active’
engagement between the nurse and person being nurse.

Theoretical assumptions
The Transactive Relationship Theory of Nursing (TRETON) is a
middle-range theory grounded in the general theory of Nursing as
Caring. It is a critical and much-needed theory from which is
derived a practical process of nursing as a transactive engagement
expressed as nursing transpiring between the nurse and nursed - the
shared engagement between human persons (patients) and
intelligent machines (HNRs). This engagement is an active
interaction between the nurse and nursed co-existing in a transactive
relationship. The theory acknowledges ways in which human-to-
human and human- to-intelligent machine nursing encounters are
expressed in nursing
• In nursing, nurses make efforts to share experiences with care participants (human persons as patients) through
human connections. In doing so, nurses know and understand the other person. Personal knowing is to recognize
images, fingerprints, and the individual persons. They record information regarding conversations with their
patients and record these in databases such as the electronic medical/health care record. These recorded data can be
shared by those authorized to access these data, and sharing these with the patients and other health care personnel
enables them to know and understand their patients more fully as persons.
Empirical Knowing:
• Nurses should consider the participants’ biological, psychological, sociological, cultural, medical, and spiritual
conditions - including their psychological state - in order to create appropriate and accurate nursing care activities.
In nursing care institutions, nursing skills mean technological expertise such as measuring blood pressure, heart
rate, and body temperature, and also observing the patient’s physical situation. The data collected from these
processes are automatically transferred from the measuring equipment to the database.
• In order to communicate what the nurse knows about the patient through this or her knowing, the nurse needs to
express this knowledge in ways that others can appreciate. So that nurses realize the care recipient’s wishes, or help
them grow as caring persons as they meander through the maze of human health care, they need to reflect on the
caring process and consider how to provide even better, more convenient, and more responsive care.
• For example, for his purpose, the nurse asks the patient’s latest wish or current desire, and the patient takes time
deciding his desires, hopes, dreams and aspirations. Human nurses may be able to capture these essences and the
accumulated data can be stored in databases. Moreover, personal effects such as photographs, and laboratory
information can be stored and made available to family members when appropriate. Information related to past
experiences including those of their parents are inserted into the database as accessible information. In this sense, it is
important to program into the robots such an interactive relationship. Therefore, in order to have HNRs function
within the Transactive Relationship Model, it is necessary to develop a computerized interface communication
process between HNRs and healthcare practitioners.
Concluding Statements Emphasizing Nursing Practice Applications
• A theory-guided nursing practice is integral to meet healthcare demands. Attaining good quality healthcare
particularly in situations in which human beings, robots, and patients are involved may be the common healthcare
practice in the very near future. Nursing caring practices involving intelligent machines with highly sophisticated
robotic functions such as interactive capabilities may be the best option for the increasing demand of health care
labor. Engaging in activities that assure good health within the changing and evolving world of human caring is
essential for human healthcare
• When these are able to express themselves through human-like emotive behaviors, they will be able to convey
empathic understanding to the patients and their families. Therefore, within the Transactive Relationship Theory of
