Area of Science:

  • Nursing Informatics
  • Health Informatics Education

Background:

  • Professional nurses require specialized informatics knowledge to meet evolving healthcare demands.
  • Understanding current knowledge gaps is crucial for targeted educational program development.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To ascertain the specific informatics educational needs of professional nurses.
  • To identify differences in these needs based on job classification.

Main Methods:

  • A survey was administered to 497 nurses in a northeastern metropolitan area.
  • Respondents rated their current and desired knowledge across 23 informatics content areas on a four-point scale.
  • Data were analyzed across three job classification subsamples: nurse educators, nurse managers, and informatics nurses.

Main Results:

  • Significant differences were observed in informatics educational needs among nurse educators, nurse managers, and informatics nurses.
  • A majority of respondents indicated interest in pursuing graduate degrees or certificates in nursing informatics.
  • Despite interest in further education, 71% of surveyed nurses already held a higher degree.

Conclusions:

  • Nursing informatics educational needs vary significantly by professional role.
  • There is a clear demand for advanced nursing informatics training and education.
  • Educational strategies should be tailored to the specific roles and existing qualifications of nurses.
