dc.description.abstract | This paper presents a frequently overlooked aspect
of advanced technological care - that of the human
dimension and emotions. Emotionality is defined as the
emotional ways that a client experiences their
embodied experience as a recipient of a cardiac
pacemaker. One individual’s story from a larger
interpretive study of clients who received pacemakers
is presented and interpreted. Kev’s story encapsulates
the difficulties of dealing with and understanding
cardiac technology. When Kev’s heart malfunctions he
confronts a new reality; an experience where the
‘technological body’ is linked confusingly with
emotion. This complex interplay between technology,
the body and emotionality is discussed to demonstrate
the importance of the mediating role that nurses can
and should play in clients’ adaptation and recovery. | |
