: The coexistence of technology and caring is best exemplified in nursing. The theory of Technological Competency as Caring in Nursing illuminates this coexistence as the essence of technology in health care premised on machine technologies as a generic concept of objects or things that are mechanical, organic, and electronic. With its timely development these technologies are continually imbued with artificial general intelligence. As such, the ultimate expression of machine technologies in nursing turns out to be autonomous robots (ARs) with future potentials of functions comparable to human persons. While theory-based nursing practice is essential to nursing care practice, quality human care, particularly with technologies assuming indispensable practice process mechanisms is critical. Some practice-based questions informing ARs and human person engagements in nursing care practice include, "Will ARs which are imbued with artificial intelligence replace nurses in their practice?" "What contributions to quality human health care will autonomous and artificially intelligent robots provide?" While these questions may reflect far-reaching ramifications of technologies in health care, it must also be acknowledged that these technologies are fundamental to the delivery of quality human health care now, and in the future.

“…The Transactive Relationship Theory of Nursing (TRETON) is a middle-range theory grounded in the general theory of Nursing as Caring [27], and the Technological Competency as Caring in Nursing [21] middle-range theory. It is a critical and much-needed theory from which is derived a practical process of nursing as a transactive engagement expressed as nursing transpiring between the nurse and nursed -the shared engagement between human persons (patients) and intelligent machines (HNRs).…”

“…Moreover, Locsin [21] explained the connection between technology and caring in nursing. Specifically, technological competency as caring in nursing is the effective use of technologies which allow nurses to understand patients more fully as whole persons and in doing so, understand patients' "calls for nursing" and respond accurately and appropriately to their hopes, dreams, and aspirations for living and growing in caring.…”

Background: Precise nursing actions assure quality human health care. However, such actions are often identified as low-level health care work thereby delegated as tasks that only need completion. With the Japanese elderly population increasing at a phenomenal rate, these types of nursing actions are critically demanded. As a health care practice problem leading to labor shortages in health care settings specifically among nurses and direct health caregivers, Japan has made a national commitment focused on developing healthcare robots to respond to the nursing care demands of the older adult population. Transactive relationships are necessary in human and robot nurse-patient interactions. How will human persons and humanoid nursing robots (HNRs) relate with each other? Research on robots assisting patient care is needed to reduce human-dependent activities thereby sanctioning human nurses' focus on direct human caring relationships. Aim: The purpose of this paper is to describe the development of the Transactive Relationship Theory of Nursing (TRETON) for nursing engagements between HNRs and human persons. Methods: Theory development and Systematic Review of Literature focused on the phenomenon of healthcare engagements, humanoid robots, and nursing practice. Specifically, the metaparadigms of Nursing provided the procedural theoretical structures. Results/Findings: The TRETON is the product of theory development. Nursing encounters between humanoid nursing robots and human persons in transactive interactions were described within the metaparadigms of person, nursing, environment, and health. Conclusion:The TRETON is a middle-range theory of nursing guiding nursing practice focused on the relationship between human persons and humanoid nursing robots. It endorses two critical nursing questions, i.e., if the nature of HNRs is to assume human caring practices to promote human health and well-being, will this nature matter to nursing care of human persons? What will engender the nature of the transaction between human persons and HNRs in 21st century ontology of nursing? Original ArticleOpen Access IntroductionThe aging population in Japan has increased and continues to increase at a phenomenal rate unequaled in any other country [1]. This phenomenon signifies that the population of older persons and in particular those with dementia are also continually increasing. It is predicted that by the year 2025, one out of every ten older adults will suffer from dementia [2]. In addition, the declining birth rate associated with the aging society has similarly contributed to this changing population demographic structure [3].Also, while the aging population is increasing, the working-age group has not caught up with the trend. This situation has expectedly become a serious social problem, leading to labor shortages, particularly within health care settings. Reacting to this phenomenon, Japan has made a national commitment focused on the development of healthcare robots especially for the older adult population [4]...

Aim The aim of this study was to explore the perceptions of nurses, patients and attendants of humanistic care in the intensive care unit. Design The present study was a qualitative conventional content analysis conducted in the intensive care unit in a hospital in Iran, in 2019. Methods Data were collected using semi‐structured interviews and field notes through purposive sampling with 17 nurses who worked in an adult ICU in a teaching hospital, 4 attendants and 4 alert patients, and then analysed using the Elo‐Kyngäs method in 2008. Results Analysis of the data led to the extraction of Four main themes as follows: (1) Insufficient understanding of nurses and patients' families of each other's roles, needs and expectations; (2) The use of personal and situational reasoning rather than ethical principles; (3) Caring stagnation; and (4) Satisfaction with care.
