Summary
Enhancing nursing informatics competency and reducing technostress are key to improving clinical nurses' work performance. These factors significantly impact patient care and public health outcomes.
Area of Science:
- Nursing Informatics
- Healthcare Technology
- Occupational Health
Background:
- The integration of technology in healthcare necessitates an understanding of its impact on nursing practice.
- Technostress and nursing informatics competency are critical yet underexplored factors influencing clinical nurses' work performance.
Purpose of the Study:
- To investigate the relationship between technostress, nursing informatics competency, and knowledge-sharing behavior on clinical nurses' work performance.
- To identify specific factors within technostress and nursing informatics competency that significantly influence nursing work performance.
Main Methods:
- A cross-sectional study was conducted with 6+ month experienced nurses from three tertiary hospitals in Daegu, Korea.
- Online questionnaires assessed technostress, nursing informatics competency, knowledge-sharing behavior, and nursing work performance.
- Data were analyzed using SPSS with descriptive statistics, t-tests, ANOVA, Pearson's correlation, and multiple regression.
Main Results:
- Nursing informatics competency subfactors (information ethics, problem clarification, retrieval, integration) positively impacted work performance.
- Technostress subfactors (techno-complexity, techno-overload) negatively impacted nursing work performance.
- These variables collectively explained 62% of the variance in nursing work performance.
Conclusions:
- Nursing informatics competency and technostress are significant determinants of clinical nurses' work performance.
- Mitigating technostress and enhancing informatics competency are crucial for improving nursing performance and quality of care.
- System-level interventions, including technology education, are recommended to reduce technostress and boost nursing work performance.
