Summary
PhD nursing students found clinical informatics essential, though most lacked prior understanding. The course is highly valued for its importance and utility in their doctoral studies.
Area of Science:
- Nursing Education
- Health Informatics
Background:
- Clinical informatics is crucial for modern healthcare, yet understanding among doctoral nursing students may be limited.
- Integrating informatics into nursing curricula is vital for preparing future leaders.
Purpose of the Study:
- To explore PhD nursing students' perceptions of a clinical informatics course.
- To assess students' prior knowledge and perceived value of clinical informatics.
Main Methods:
- Utilized open-ended questionnaires and course reviews for data collection.
- Survey achieved an 84.62% response rate from 13 PhD nursing students.
Main Results:
- A significant knowledge gap was identified, with only 4 out of 11 respondents demonstrating prior understanding of clinical informatics.
- All respondents unanimously recognized clinical informatics as a highly important and useful subject for their PhD studies.
Conclusions:
- Clinical informatics education is perceived as critical by PhD nursing students, despite existing knowledge deficits.
- Curricula should address foundational concepts to ensure all students benefit from informatics training.
