Pols, J. 1966-
Care at a distance : on the closeness of technology / Jeannette Pols. - 1 online resource (204 pages) : illustrations. - Care & welfare . - Care & welfare. .
Includes bibliographical references and indexes.
Nightmares, promises and efficiencies in care and research -- Norms and nightmares. Caring devices: about warm hands, cold technology and making things fit ; The heart of the matter: good nursing at a distance -- Knowledge and promises. Caring for the self? Enacting problems, solutions and forms of knowledge ; Knowing patients: on practical knowledge for living with chronic disease -- Routines and efficiencies. Zooming in on webcams: on the workings of a modest technology ; Economies of care: new routines, new tasks -- Conclusions on studying innovation. Innovating care innovation -- Projects studied for this book. Part I: Part II: Part III: Appendix:
"This widely researched study demonstrates convincingly that neither grandiose promises nor nightmare scenarios have much to do with actual care practices employing telecare. Combining detailed ethnographic studies of nurses and patients involved in telecare with a broad theoretical framework from various disciplines, the author concludes that these practices leads to more rather than less intense caring relations, resulting from a spectacular raise in the frequency of contacts between nurses and patients. Patients are much taken with this, not because they feel they are finally able to manage themselves, but because they can 'leave things to the experts'. The patients find that caring is something that is best done for others. The book frames urgent questions about the future of telecare and the ways in which innovative care practices can be built on facts rather than hopes, hypes or nightmares"--Publisher's description.
