Nursing acceptance of a speech-input interface: a preliminary investigation.

Many new technologies are being developed to improve the efficiency and productivity of nursing staffs. User acceptance is a key to the success of these technologies. In this article, the authors present a discussion of nursing acceptance of computer systems, review the basic design issues for creating a speech-input interface, and report preliminary findings of a study of nursing acceptance of a prototype speech-input interface. Results of the study showed that the 19 nursing subjects expressed acceptance of the prototype speech-input interface.

Perceived ease of use and usefulness of bedside-computer systems.

Many new technologies are being developed to improve the efficiency and productivity of nursing staff. A key to the success of these technologies is acceptance by nurses. Davis' constructs of perceived ease of use and perceived usefulness were developed to measure the acceptance of computer systems. This article presents a discussion on nursing acceptance of computer systems, reviews the development of the perceived ease of use and perceived usefulness measures, and reports findings of a study based on these constructs along with attitude of bedside-computer systems. Results of the study showed that nurses in general are accepting of bedside-computer technology.
