Background:
Technology is pivotal in nursing education, with methods such as the flipped classroom, active learning, and patient simulation becoming integral. Despite this, persistent barriers hinder technology's full integration.
Methods:
An online survey collected data from nursing faculty members (n = 1761) in prelicensure nursing programs. The survey assessed their views on technology, barriers, training needs, and importance in classroom and simulation settings.
Results:
Participants highlighted financial support, commitment, and administrative support as critical for technology adoption. Statistical analysis of the results revealed differences in the rankings of the importance of technology, emphasizing the significance of these factors. Additionally, time in the classroom was noted as a significant barrier.
Conclusions:
Technology's role in nursing education continues to expand. Overcoming financial constraints and enhancing faculty buy-in are essential for successful technology integration, ultimately, improving informatics competencies and advancing technological nursing education.
