The purpose of this study is to understand the activities in nurses’ work practices in relation to the design process of a self-monitoring application.,A design ethnographic approach was applied in this study.,To solve the problem of translating highly qualitative phenomena, such as pain, into the particular abstract features of a self-monitoring application, design participants had to balance these two aspects by managing complexity. In turn, the nurses’ work practices have changed because it now involves a new activity based on a different logic than the nurses’ traditional work practices.,This study describes a new activity included in nurses’ work practices when the nurses became part of a design process. This study introduces a novel way on how to gain a deeper understanding of existing professional practice through a detailed study of activities taking place in a design process. This study explores the possible implications for nurses’ professional practices when they participate in a self-monitoring application design process.

护士在设计中的工作实践：管理疼痛的复杂性

这项研究的目的是了解与自我监控应用程序的设计过程有关的护士工作实践中的活动。本研究采用了一种设计人种学方法。为了解决翻译高定性现象的问题，例如疼痛，进入自我监控应用程序的特定抽象功能，设计参与者必须通过管理复杂性来平衡这两个方面。反过来，护士的工作习惯也发生了变化，因为它现在涉及的新活动基于与护士的传统工作习惯不同的逻辑。本研究描述了当护士成为护士的一部分时一项新的活动包含在护士的工作实践中。设计过程。这项研究介绍了一种新颖的方式，通过对设计过程中发生的活动的详细研究，可以使您对现有的专业实践有更深入的了解。本研究探讨了护士参与自我监控的应用程序设计过程对专业实践的可能影响。
