摘要:

A vast array of information useful to the scientific community is readily available on the Internet. Currently, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) offers user access to several large databases, some of which are pertinent to nurses interested in research, health policy formation, and identifying funded research projects. One such database, the Computer Retrieval of Information on Scientific Projects (CRISP), provides information on research grants funded by the NIH from 1972 to the present. Retrieval of scientific information for each project in CRISP is made available by project title, grant number, abstract, principal investigator, eight-digit CRISP Thesaurus terms, and key words. This article introduces the reader to CRISP and provides a set of succinct strategies for conducting comprehensive searches in the database.

摘要:

Computer-mediated communication (CMC) provides a new medium through which large numbers of nurses who might not have other opportunity can “meet” and exchange information and ideas. This article describes methodologic issues and presents findings arising from a case study, including a qualitative discourse analysis, of information exchange and discussion on the NURSENET list server. A 2-day sample of list discussions was analyzed using Fairclough's discourse analysis method, and a small number of subscribers were interviewed via electronic-mail. These methods, as opposed to purely quantitative ones, seem increasingly appropriate to the analysis of CMC. Findings from the study included an over-representation of males in discussions relative to their proportion of subscribers; an absence of the more antisocial on-line behavior (flaming) seen in many discussion lists; and some suggestion that CMC users challenge traditional nursing discourse. This article presents research findings previously available only on-line.

摘要:

This article reports a nonexperimental comparative study of end-user satisfaction before and after implementation of a vendor supplied computerized system (Micromedex, Inc.) for providing up-to-date patient instructions regarding diseases, injuries, procedures, and medications. The purpose of this research was to measure the satisfaction of nurses who directly interact with a specific patient educational software application and to compare user satisfaction with manual versus computer generated materials. A computing satisfaction questionnaire that uses a scale of 1 to 5 (1 being the lowest) was used to measure end-user computing satisfaction in five constructs: content, accuracy, format, ease of use, and timeliness. Summary statistics were used to calculate mean ratings for each of the questionnaire's 12 items and for each of the five constructs. Mean differences between the ratings before and after implementation of the five constructs were significant by pairedttest. Total user satisfaction improved with the computerized system, and the computer generated materials were given a higher rating than were the manual materials. Implications of these findings are discussed.
