    Intensive care nurses believe computerisation can improve patient care and save time on routine tasks. This study explored their attitudes towards integrating technology in the intensive care unit (ICU).

    Area of Science:

    • Nursing Informatics
    • Healthcare Technology Adoption
    • Clinical Information Systems

    Background:

    • The integration of computerised systems in healthcare is rapidly evolving.
    • Understanding healthcare professionals' attitudes is crucial for successful technology implementation.
    • Intensive care units (ICUs) present unique challenges and opportunities for computerisation.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To assess the attitudes of intensive care nurses regarding computerisation.
    • To determine if nurses perceive computers as enhancing direct or indirect patient care.
    • To evaluate nurses' views on whether computers can improve time efficiency for routine tasks.

    Main Methods:

    • A survey-based study was conducted.
    • Thirty intensive care nurses participated in the study.

  • Attitudes towards computerisation were systematically examined.

    • Main Results:

    • Nurses expressed positive attitudes towards the potential of computerisation.
    • A significant portion of nurses believed computers could enhance patient care.
    • Nurses anticipated that computer use would lead to time savings in performing routine duties.

    Conclusions:

    • Intensive care nurses generally view computerisation favourably.
    • Computer technology holds the potential to positively impact patient care and operational efficiency in ICUs.
    • Further research could explore specific barriers and facilitators to computer adoption in critical care settings.
