摘要:

Computer interviewing to obtain sensitive information is not a new concept. However, concerns about the acceptance of computers in disadvantaged populations with potentially low literacy led us to combine audio- and touch-screen technologies with an audio computerized self-report interview to obtain information about alcohol use. This study evaluated acceptance and ease of use by a disadvantaged population of pregnant women in the District of Columbia. Patients attending an initial visit at prenatal clinics answered questions anonymously about their consumption of alcoholic beverages and other personal information. The questionnaire was programmed on a laptop computer. The computer administered the recorded questions via earphones, as well as displayed them on the screen, and patients answered by touching the computer screen. Results were immediately available. A total of 507 women were interviewed, who were primarily African American, non-Hispanic, and never married. Nearly 24% did not complete a high school education, 43% were unemployed, and 30% received public assistance. Most of the women (59%) used computers occasionally (a few days a month) or never. Nearly all patients (96%) reported that the computer was not difficult to use, and approximately 90% liked answering the questions by computer. The study demonstrates that using computers to screen for alcohol use in disadvantaged pregnant populations is feasible and acceptable to the patients.

摘要:

There are several elements to nursing students’ course grades: quizzes, examinations, and presentations. There are several weights for the elements, which adds to the complexity of calculating grades. The accuracy and efficiency of calculating grades can be increased with the help of an appropriate computer program. Nursing faculty may have access to a variety of these computer software programs to aid them in calculating and maintaining students’ course grades. These programs include spreadsheets, specific grading programs, and grading features included in online course programs. This article reviews selected computer-based grading programs and reviewers’ evaluation of each program, based on the major features.

摘要:

The rapid expansion of computer-driven technologies into multiple aspects of modern healthcare suggests that many of the important competencies of the 21st century nurse will encompass mastery of computer technology. This is a comprehensive review of the published measures of computer competence during the past 12 years. Essential knowledge, attitudes, and skills were identified and classified. Multiple competency assessment instruments of varying quality were examined. Little agreement was found regarding specific computer-focused competencies necessary for nurses. Taken as a whole, however, there is consensus that the computer-competent nurse possesses a general knowledge and understanding of computer technology, coupled with a positive attitude toward computers and software. In addition, such a nurse is skillful in computer hardware and software use and able to grasp how such technology benefits nursing and the overall healthcare environment.
