Summary
Nursing informatics competency and experience significantly impact information processing quality in Jordanian hospitals. Enhanced training in nursing informatics and information processing is recommended for all nurses.
Area of Science:
- Nursing
- Health Informatics
- Information Science
Background:
- Hospitals are increasingly adopting electronic health records (EHRs).
- Assessing nursing informatics competency is crucial for effective EHR use.
- Information processing quality directly impacts patient care and safety.
Purpose of the Study:
- To evaluate nursing informatics competency.
- To assess the quality of information processing among nurses in Jordan.
- To identify factors influencing information processing quality in the context of EHR implementation.
Main Methods:
- A cross-sectional study was conducted in a large Jordanian hospital with 380 registered nurses.
- Data were collected from 99 nurses using the electronic health record for at least 3 months.
- Validated questionnaires measured personal/job characteristics, self-efficacy, nursing informatics competencies, and health information system monitoring.
Main Results:
- Nine predictors explained 22% of the variance in information processing quality.
- Key significant predictors included nursing informatics competency, clinical specialty, and years of nursing experience.
- Nurses' self-efficacy and specific job characteristics did not emerge as significant predictors in this model.
Conclusions:
- Nursing informatics competency is a critical determinant of information processing quality.
- Clinical specialty and experience level are important factors influencing how nurses process health information.
- There is a clear need for institutional policies promoting comprehensive nursing informatics education for all nurses.
