Nurses in a UK hospital showed unfavorable attitudes towards computers in clinical practice. This study replicated prior research and highlighted a need for further investigation into technology adoption by healthcare professionals.

Area of Science:

  • Nursing Informatics
  • Healthcare Technology Adoption
  • Clinical Computing

Background:

  • Limited research exists on nurses' attitudes toward computer use in clinical settings.
  • Previous studies, such as Brodt & Stronge (1986), provide a foundation for current investigations.
  • Understanding these attitudes is crucial for effective technology integration in healthcare.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To replicate and extend the findings of Brodt & Stronge (1986).
  • To investigate the attitudes of nurses towards the use of computers in clinical practice.
  • To identify potential barriers or facilitators to computer adoption among nursing staff.

Main Methods:

  • Descriptive research design.
  • Utilized a Likert-type, closed-structure attitude-scale questionnaire for data collection.

  • Survey administered to 58 nurses in a UK district general hospital's clinical setting.

    • Main Results:

    • The study found that nurses' overall attitudes towards computers in clinical practice were predominantly unfavorable.
    • A significant portion of the surveyed nurses expressed reservations about integrating computer technology into their daily work.
    • The findings suggest a gap between technological availability and user acceptance in the clinical environment.

    Conclusions:

    • Nurses' attitudes towards computers in clinical settings lean more towards unfavorable than favorable.
    • The replication and extension of previous research underscore the persistent challenges in computer adoption within nursing.
    • Further research is recommended to explore the reasons behind these attitudes and to develop strategies for improving acceptance.
