Nurses generally have positive attitudes toward computerization. Prior computer experience is the strongest predictor of favorable views, outweighing job title, education, or years of experience.

Area of Science:

  • Nursing Informatics
  • Healthcare Technology Adoption

Background:

  • Assessing healthcare professionals' perspectives on technology is crucial for successful implementation.
  • Understanding nurses' attitudes toward computerization informs training and adoption strategies.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the attitudes of various nursing staff toward computerization in a hospital setting.
  • To identify factors influencing nurses' perceptions of healthcare technology.

Main Methods:

  • A survey using the "Assessment of Nurses' Attitudes Toward Computerization" questionnaire.
  • Data collected from head nurses, registered nurses, and licensed practical nurses at a 500-bed hospital.
  • Statistical analysis including factor analysis to explore attitude dimensions.

Main Results:

  • Nurses exhibited generally favorable attitudes toward computerization.
  • No significant differences in attitudes were found based on job title, education, age, or years of experience.
  • Previous computer experience was the only significant predictor of more favorable attitudes (p < 0.001).

Conclusions:

  • Nurses' attitudes toward computerization are predominantly positive.
  • Prior exposure to computers significantly enhances positive perceptions.
  • Factor analysis indicated potential response bias, warranting further investigation into attitude measurement.
