Sammanfattning
New digital and efficient solutions to monitoring elderly people with chronic diseases in home care services have increased in recent years. The article deals with how telecare may influence care practices and concepts of care. Different studies on nurses’ telecare experiences address different challenges. By applying a care perspective by relating the care responsibility being generated in the relationships, in combination with a broader contextual perspective on care practice, we discuss the challenges of care-at-a-distance. In care at a distance, the technology applied should be adapted into the complex and changing care situations and become additional caring approaches. An understanding of the complexity in caring in addition to the need of expanding technological/digital and analytical competences might improve nurses’ mastery of future care challenges.
