Gender and technology : women's experiences in an undergraduate nursing program

The aim of this thesis is to determine how women felt about, and learnt to use, technological devices in an undergraduate nursing program. The study explores women's experiences when learning to acquire and apply knowledge of technological devices, in order to identify factors which facilitate, influence or inhibit that learning. Women's perceptions of nursing, and the value of technological device use in nursing care are also examined.Thesis (M.A.) -- University of Adelaide, Dept. of Women's Studies, 199
