Attitudes to a robot bathtub in Danish elder care: A hermeneutic interview study.

In Western countries, assistive technology is implemented on a large scale in elder care settings. Only a few studies have attempted to explore the different attitudes to assistive technology among various groups of users. In this study, we investigated and explained the different attitudes among the involved leaders, nursing staff, and older people to a newly-implemented robot bathtub.

From theoretical model to practical use: an example of knowledge translation.

Aim: To present a case of knowledge translation in nursing education and practice and discusses mechanisms relevant to bringing knowledge into action.

Background: The process of knowledge translation aspires to close the gap between theory and practice. Knowledge translation is a cyclic process involving both the creation and application of knowledge in several phases.
