Abstract
Healthcare providers in advanced healthcare systems recognize the value of practices involving technological competencies in healthcare. Theory-based practice, grounded in Locsin's Technological Competency as Caring in nursing theory, warrants investments in quality nursing care. This study determined the effect of in-service educational programs for nurse managers regarding perceptions of the theory. Five, 1-hour lecture sessions weekly showed significant effects on understanding technological competency as expression of caring in nursing. Technological Competency as caring in nursing theory-based educational programs offer promising ways to ensure that understanding technological competency as caring assures quality healthcare.
