Tool (II): Patients’ Safety Checklist regarding Use of Technological Medical Devices. Tool (III): Nursing Practice Observational Checklist regarding Use of Technological Medical Devices. Results: It was revealed that most of the nurses had high perception level of the positive aspect of technological devices. On the other hand most of the studied nurse had a low perception level of the negative aspect of technological devices, there was a significant statistical association between total perception level, total safety level and total practice level respectively were r = 0.693 , 0.000** , r = 0.359 , 0.000** respectively.
