CRITIQUE
Risks with technology in nursing
1. Doctor Google - patients diagnosing or misdiagnosing
themselves based on information from the Internet
2. Confidentiality - the widespread availability of private information
ex. staff/patients posting on social media, systems hacking, laptops
stolen
3. EMR - Permanent, nationally accessible health record. Does
physiotherapist need to know about STI you had in 2009
Have no specifics order to allow the Locsin framework or model just using the device
procedure
Clarity
Tautology/Teleology
1. Technological competence: assists the nurse in acknowledging
the person as a focus of nursing; using technology competently to
compliment or assist the nurse in knowing the patient in the moment
2. Caring in nursing: authentically knowing the person in the
moment, to the extent to which they wish to be known
3. Human beings as persons: knowing the patient in the moment as
whole and complete persons, despite their condition
ex. Amputees, hysterectomy, etc. these people are still whole or
complete as human beings, even if using technology to live ex.
pacemaker, dialysis machine, prosthetic limbs
His international commitments are illustrated in continuing global
initiatives. Through the Fulbright Scholar Award, he developed the
first Masters program in Nursing in Uganda while researching the
phenomenon "waiting-to-know" and the lived experiences of
persons exposed to patients who died of Ebola Hemorrhagic Fever.
With Mbarara University and the Fulbright Alumni Initiative Award,
he established the first Community-based University Nursing
Education Program
Locsin's theory: Technological competence as caring in nursing
Usefulness
He was the first recipient of the Lillian O. Slemp Endowed Chair in
Nursing at the University of Texas-Pan American in Edinburg,
Texas in 2007. In August 2009, he was the first recipient of the John
F. Wymer, Jr. Distinguished Professor in Nursing at Florida Atlantic
University. In 2006, Dr. Locsin was inducted as Fellow of the
American Academy of Nursing (FAAN).

LOCSIN THEORY
Dr. Rozzano Locsin earned his Doctor of Philosophy in Nursing
degree from the University of the Philippines in 1988, and his
Master of Arts in Nursing and Bachelor of Science in Nursing from
Silliman University in 1978 and 1976 in the Philippines. He joined
Florida Atlantic University, Christine E. Lynn College of Nursing in
1991 where he is a tenured Professor of Nursing.
ex. Amputees, hysterectomy, etc. these people are still whole or complete as human
beings, even if using technology to live ex. pacemaker, dialysis machine, prosthetic limbs

Key points from Locsin's theory

1. "The nurse can know the person fully only in the moment"
2. "It is not entirely possible for the nurse to fully know another
human being, except in the moment and only if the person allows
the nurse to know him/her by entering into the other's world"
3. "The expectation is that the nurse is to use multiple ways of
knowing competently in using technologies in order to know the
other fully as a person"
Education

1. Persons are whole or complete in the moment

2. Knowing persons is a practice process of nursing that allows for
continuous appreciation of person moment to moment
3. Nursing is a discipline and a professional practice
4. Technology is used to know persons fully in the moment
Circle Of Contagiousness
Practice
Locsin define a Technological competence as caring in nursing
Currently, as Fulbright Senior Specialist in Global and Public Health,
he continues to lead collaborative research studies advancing the
development of models of nursing practice in Uganda, Thailand,
and the Philippines. He maintains Visiting and Honorary professorial
appointments in nursing in the Philippines, Uganda, and Thailand.

 Personal values
 Congruence with other professional values
 Congruence with social values
 Social significance

External
Components
Locsin theory have no different to their theoretical framework
Dr. Locsin's research and scholarly works concerning technology
and caring in nursing converge on the theme "life transitions in
human health." Four books attest to this thematic focus. In 2001, he
edited the book Advancing Technology, Caring, and Nursing
published by Auburn House, Connecticut, USA; In 2005, his middle
range theory Technological Competency as Caring in Nursing was
published by Sigma Theta Tau International Press; in 2007 a co-
edited book Technology and Nursing: Practice, Concepts, and
Issues was released by Palgrave-Macmillan Co., London, UK, and
with Dr. Marguerite Purnell as co-editor, the book entitled, A
Contemporary Nursing Process: The (Un)Bearable Weight of
Knowing in Nursing was released in April 2009 by Springer
Publishing Co.
Dr. Locsin's scholarly and creative works focus on using the arts as
healing modalities, and the arts as aesthetic expressions in studying
nursing. His passion for the arts in nursing earned him the Edith
Moore Copeland Excellence in Creativity Award from Sigma Theta
Tau International Honor Society of Nursing in 2003.
Other awards attesting excellence in his work include the
Outstanding Sillimanian Award and the Outstanding Paulinian
Award in the field of Nursing Education from renowned Philippine
schools. The Julita V. Sotejo Medallion of Honor was awarded by
the University of the Philippines College of Nursing Alumni
Association International in Los Angeles, California.

Relationship Between Structure & Function
Diagram of Theory
Technology is used to know persons fully in the moment

1. Technological competency in nursing fosters the recognition and

realization of persons as participants in their care rather than as
objects of care
2. The idea of "participation in their care" stems from active
engagement; the nurse enters the world of the one nursed, through
available appropriate technologies, attempting to know the nursed
more fully in the moment
3. In this practice, the assumption is understood that the one nursed
allows the nurse to enter his or her world so that together, they may
mutually support, affirm and celebrate each other's being
4. In this relationship of the "knower" and the "known", technology
provides the efficiency and the value that marks their mutual and
momentary reality
Simplicity/Complexity
Technological competency in nursing fosters the recognition and realization of persons as
participants in their care rather than as objects of care
Technological competence key points summarized
1. Technological competency is seeing people as participants in
their care
2. The Idea of participation in their care stems from an active
engagement; the nurse enters the patient's world through
technology in an attempt to know the patient fully in the moment
3. Assumption: The patient consents to the nurse entering his world
so that together, they may mutually support, affirm and celebrate
each other's being
4. Technology provides efficiency and value that marks mutual and
momentary reality between the knower and the known
