    Computer training improved hospital staff attitudes toward new health information systems. Staff with computer course experience showed more positive views on computerization than those without.

    Area of Science:

    • Health Informatics
    • Medical Education
    • Psychiatric Nursing

    Background:

    • Implementing health information systems (HIS) in psychiatric units requires understanding staff computer attitudes and knowledge.
    • Staff computer literacy and acceptance are crucial for successful HIS adoption and effective patient care.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop and validate an 88-item scale measuring staff attitudes and knowledge regarding computers.
    • To assess the impact of a computer systems training course on staff attitudes toward computerization during HIS implementation.

    Main Methods:

    • An 88-item questionnaire was administered to 42 hospital psychiatric unit staff members.
    • Participants included 28 staff who completed a 2.5-day computer systems course and 14 who did not.

    Main Results:

    • Staff members who completed the computer systems course demonstrated significantly more favorable attitudes toward computerization.
    • A statistically significant difference in attitudes was observed between trained and untrained staff.

    Conclusions:

    • Computer training positively influences staff attitudes during health information system implementation in psychiatric settings.
    • The developed scale effectively measures staff computer attitudes and knowledge, aiding in HIS adoption strategies.
