    Most nurses experience mild computer anxiety and anticipate increased computer use in three years. This study explored computer anxiety in a diverse group of 638 nursing professionals.

    Area of Science:

    • Nursing
    • Healthcare Technology
    • Psychology

    Background:

    • Computer anxiety is a growing concern in healthcare.
    • Understanding nurses' computer anxiety is crucial for technology adoption.
    • Previous research has not fully addressed diverse nursing roles.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To assess the prevalence and severity of computer anxiety in a large, diverse sample of nurses.
    • To identify factors associated with computer anxiety among nurses.
    • To understand nurses' expectations regarding future computer use.

    Main Methods:

    • A quantitative study was conducted with 638 nurses.
    • The Oetting Computer Anxiety Scale (COMPAS) was used for data collection.
    • Participants included undergraduate and graduate students, educators, staff nurses, and nurse managers.
