Thesis project

TITLE: Use of smartphones by independent nurses: towards a transformation of nursing practices and the care relationship?

There is genuine political will to use new technologies in healthcare. According to the "e-health" study conducted in 2015 among the 53 European member countries of the World Health Organization, it appears that 42 countries allocated public funds to e-health programs last year. The WHO strongly encourages these efforts in a recent report from March 2016 (WHO 2016). In France, there is growing political support and programs, particularly for projects aimed at treating patients at home. Connected devices, tablets, and smartphones seem to be becoming essential tools for healthcare. I would like to study the use of smartphones by private nurses in order to understand the consequences for nursing practices and, in particular, for the relationship with the patient. The survey methodology will be qualitative, involving interviews with nurses and ethnological observations in patients' homes.
