E-Patient Counseling Trial (E-PACO): Computer Based Education versus Nurse Counseling for Patients to Prepare for Colonoscopy

Area of Science:

Nursing
Health Informatics
Information Technology in Healthcare

Background:

Nursing informatics is integral to modern nursing practice in the UK, with policy support since 1998.
Existing research indicates nurses frequently lack essential computer skills, and pre-registration education inadequately prepares them for technology use.
This highlights a gap between policy goals and practical application of information technology in nursing.

Purpose of the Study:

To investigate the development of computer skills and confidence among nursing students.
To identify factors influencing the adoption of information technology (IT) by student nurses during clinical placements.
To assess the preparedness of student nurses for the technological demands of contemporary healthcare.

Main Methods:

A longitudinal study was conducted with a cohort of nursing students.
Data collection focused on students' computer skills, knowledge, and attitudes towards IT.
Student experiences with IT during clinical placements were specifically examined.

Main Results:

Students demonstrated a willingness to engage with nursing informatics despite initial skill deficits.
Two key factors emerged for successful IT use: self-efficacy in computer skills and a supportive placement environment.
A significant minority of students reported experiencing environments that encouraged IT use.

Conclusions:

Nursing students possess the potential to develop IT proficiency, but require targeted educational support.
Creating supportive clinical environments is paramount to fostering confidence and competence in nursing informatics.
Addressing the gap in practical IT skill development is essential for preparing future nurses for technology-enabled healthcare.
