About

Johannes Wendsche is a leading researcher in nursing science and occupational health, with a focused expertise on the intersection of digital transformation and nursing practice. His work critically examines how digital care technologies reshape nurses' work environments, attitudes, and professional roles. Wendsche’s major contribution lies in synthesizing fragmented evidence on the impact of digital tools in nursing—most notably through his landmark umbrella review on digital technologies in nursing, which has garnered 34 citations since its 2024 publication. This comprehensive synthesis provides a crucial roadmap for understanding how technologies like electronic health records and monitoring systems affect both patient care and nursing workload. His earlier research, including a 2020 study on nurses’ attitudes toward occupational transformation processes, offers foundational insights into workforce readiness and resistance to digital change. By bridging technology assessment with human factors, Wendsche’s work informs evidence-based implementation strategies for healthcare organizations. His scholarship is essential reading for researchers and practitioners navigating the complex, human-centered challenges of digitizing nursing care.
