dc.description.abstractAn Intensive Care Unit (ICU) is an extreme technological environment where different t)?es of equipment and devices, intended for the care of critically ill patients, are found. The use of technological equipment has assisted in reduction of morbidity, mortality, and length of hospital stay because the problems are diagnosed earlier. The purpose of the study was to explore the perceptions of nu$es who work in the Intensive Care Units about the effects of the use of technological equipment, with the intention of making recommendations for clinical practice, education of nurses and further research. A quantitative, descriptive, prospective, and non-experimental study design was utilised in this study, as well as a non-probability sampling method. Participants (n:60) were drawn from neurosurgical, cardiothoracic and main ICUs. Data collection was done by use of questionnaire. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used to analyse data.en_ZA
