摘要:

This article examines issues of implementing nursing information computer systems in 17 hospitals in New Jersey and the initial effects of such systems as perceived by users. Unlike previous studies that examined the effects of one system in one hospital, this study examines the effects of several major systems in a variety of settings.Many of the hospitals experienced major delays or other problems with implementation; the hospitals in which timely implementation occurred were the ones that had purchased a commercially available standalone nursing system and did not try to develop interfaces or do extensive development. While these hospitals did meet with difficulties and needed some software customization, the problems were not so severe as to impede timely implementation. On the other hand, most of the hospitals that had major delays had planned more ambitious projects. These hospitals either required development work with vendors or were implementing a nursing information system while simultaneously putting in place a hospital system. Initial staff impressions of the effects of the system were positive; nursing department staffs reported that they liked the nursing systems. They said that documentation was better [more readable, complete, and timely] and they also believed that care was improved because the computer prompted nurses on what to look for and what to do. Support for these systems from hospital administration, outside of nursing, was cautious and based primarily on cost/benefit results.

摘要:

Effective communication skills for nurses are essential and serve as the interface between patients and health care providers. Yet, teaching communication skills is subject to only limited success. Results vary according to the mix of students, the talent and interest of the instructor, and the availability of teaching time for the topic. The nursing program at Indiana University Kokomo is addressing the needs of nursing students with a multimedia computer system. A videodisc on therapeutic communication was purchased to supply the desired video-based examples. The programming of the computer interface was done by a senior information systems department major. Student attitudes measured after using the system the first year were very good.

摘要:

The purpose of this study was to examine the factor structure and reliability of the Stronge-Brodt Nurses' Attitudes Toward Computers Questionnaire. The instrument was administered to nurses before (T1, n=391) and after (T2, n=2B5) the implementation of a computerized patient care information system. A factor analysis of each sample was carried out using the SPSS/PC+ factor procedure with varimax notation and Kaiser normalization. The factor analyses for T1 and T2 were consistent and identified three factors that parallel those generated in a factor analysis performed by Schwirian et al (1989). In both samples of the current study, the internal consistency reliability for the first factor was high [T1 alpha=. 9 1, T2 alpha=.92], whereas the second and third factors demonstrated diminished reliability. Overall instrument reliability was .93 at T1 and .92 at T2. This study, with relatively large sample sizes, provided further clarification of the factor structure and supported the high reliability of the instrument.

摘要:

Using a “Who, What, Where, When, and How” approach, the author addresses multiple issues that must be considered during computer education planning and development. The nursing department usually has the largest number of people requiring computer education and their training must be coordinated with other departments, so a well-thought-out training plan is required. This article presents practical hints and helpful strategies for developing such a plan.
