Area of Science:

  • Nursing
  • Health Informatics
  • Medical Education

Background:

  • Nursing informatics is defined as a core nursing activity and a tool for high-quality patient care.
  • Current perceptions and practices indicate a significant gap between this definition and its integration into nursing.
  • This disconnect poses a challenge to leveraging technology for enhanced healthcare delivery.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the current perception and integration of nursing informatics within nursing education and practice.
  • To identify barriers to the adoption of nursing informatics among nurses, educators, and students.
  • To explore the role of pre-registration education in shaping future nursing informatics competency.

Main Methods:

  • The study analyzed findings from three empirical investigations.
  • Data likely involved surveys, interviews, or observational methods focusing on nurses' and educators' attitudes and skills.
  • Analysis focused on perceptions of nursing informatics as a clinical skill and its use in practice.

Main Results:

  • Qualified nurses are perceived to have poor informatics skills and knowledge, viewing IT as a distraction from patient care.
  • Educators and academics share a lack of knowledge, not considering nursing informatics a clinical skill.
  • Students require confidence and encouragement to use computers during clinical placements.

Conclusions:

  • Nursing students are being socialized into a profession that does not prioritize or encourage computer use.
  • A significant shift in perception and education is needed to establish nursing informatics as a key nursing task.
  • Integrating nursing informatics into pre-registration education is crucial for its successful adoption and for improving patient care.
