Pilot Test for Knowledge Dissemination of Nursing Informatics in Japanese Rural Areas

In Japan, the challenges to disseminating knowledge of nursing informatics to actually working nurses have not been clarified sufficiently. Therefore, targeting the participants in nursing informatics seminars, we made a survey regarding their level of understanding of the importance of the four CARE elements within their organizations, the factors which seem to impede understanding, and their preferable learning methods. The participants cited the "lack of opportunities to learn" about Connected Health, among the four CARE elements.
