摘要：

This article identifies assumptions common to interpreting technological progress in contemporary nursing practice. Technology is described in terms of its characteristics and progress is identified as an ideological assumption influencing the way we think about, practice, and explain technology in contemporary nursing. Arguments associated with linear development, the elimination of scarcity, the technological imperative, the advancement of nursing, and technology as a neutral phenomenon are examined. It is argued that understanding progress assists us to develop insight into the relationship between technology and nursing. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
