Summary
Nurse acceptance of digital nursing technology (DNT) increases with its innovative characteristics. Network issues hinder adoption, highlighting the need for system improvements in healthcare technology.
Area of Science:
- Nursing Informatics
- Health Technology Adoption
- Innovation Diffusion Theory
Background:
- Digital nursing technology (DNT) integration is transforming healthcare delivery.
- Understanding nurse adoption barriers is crucial for successful technology implementation.
- Innovation Diffusion Theory provides a framework for analyzing technology acceptance.
Purpose of the Study:
- To evaluate nurse acceptance and adoption of DNT using Innovation Diffusion Theory.
- To identify factors influencing the successful integration of digital tools in nursing practice.
- To explore the relationship between DNT's innovative characteristics and nurse acceptance.
Main Methods:
- Quantitative, cross-sectional study design.
- Data collected via questionnaires based on Innovation Diffusion Theory.
- Study conducted in a regional hospital in Taiwan (March-May 2022).
Main Results:
- A positive correlation was found between the innovative characteristics of DNT and nurse acceptance.
- Higher perceived innovativeness of DNT led to greater acceptance by nurses.
- Network connectivity issues were identified as a significant barrier to positive user experience.
Conclusions:
- The perceived innovative attributes of digital nursing technology significantly influence nurse acceptance.
- Addressing technical challenges, such as network stability, is essential for improving DNT adoption.
- Future system enhancements should prioritize user experience and reliable connectivity to facilitate digital transformation in nursing.
