Area of Science:

  • Nursing Informatics
  • Healthcare Technology Adoption

Background:

  • Community nurses play a vital role in patient care outside traditional hospital settings.
  • Effective use of information technology (IT) can enhance community nursing practice and patient outcomes.
  • Identifying barriers to IT adoption is crucial for successful implementation in community health.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate barriers hindering information technology (IT) utilization among community nurses.
  • To assess factors such as access, time constraints, and skill deficits impacting IT use.

Main Methods:

  • A comprehensive literature review was conducted.
  • A questionnaire survey was administered to community nurses to gather data on IT use and perceived barriers.

Main Results:

  • A significant majority of community nurses reported having access to IT resources.
  • Despite access, infrequent use of most IT applications was observed, with email being the exception.
  • Barriers included shared facilities and diverse clinical systems, limiting broader IT application engagement.

Conclusions:

  • Community nurses generally exhibit a positive attitude towards IT adoption.
  • Access challenges and system variations pose hurdles to comprehensive IT use.
  • There is a clear demand for additional training to enhance IT proficiency and utilization among community nurses.
