"Nurses' attitudes towards computers: Cross-sectional questionnaire study"
Aim To estimate the attitudes of hospital nurses towards computers and the influence of gender, age, education, and computer usage on these attitudes. Methods The study was conducted in two Croatian hospitals where integrated hospital information system is being implemented. There were 1, 081 nurses surveyed by an anonymous questionnaire consisting of 8 questions about demographic data, education, and computer usage, and 30 statements on attitudes towards computers. The statements were adapted to a Likert type scale. Differences in attitudes towards computers were compared using one-way ANOVA and Tukey-b post-hoc test. Results The total score was 12015 (meanstandard deviation) out of maximal 150. Nurses younger than 30 years had a higher total score than those older than 30 years (12413 vs 11916 for 30-39 age groups and 11715 for>39 age groups, P<0.001). Nurses with a bachelor’ s degree (11916 vs 12214, P=0.002) and nurses who had attended computer science courses had a higher total score compared to the others (12413 vs 11816, P<0.001). Nurses using computers more than 5 hours per week had higher total score than those who used computers less than 5 hours (12713 vs 12412 for 1-5 h and and 11914 for <1 hour per day, P<0.001, post-hoc test). Conclusion Nurses in general have positive attitudes towards computers. These results are important for the planning and implementing an integrated hospital information system.
