Nursing students' attitudes toward technology: a national study.

Nursing students' predispositions toward technology may be a factor affecting their use of technology in educational and clinical settings. A national survey was conducted to collect attitudinal measures toward technology and data on technology instruction to assist educators with developing information technology curricula. Outcomes indicate an overall positive attitude toward technology; however, participants reports of formal education in the use of technology applications are low. This shortcoming should be addressed through enhancement of nursing core curriculum.

Selection and development of a critical care bedside computer.

A multidisciplinary approach was used to select a bedside computer in a tertiary medical center's medical intensive care unit. Three committees were formed both by the medical center and the vendor: selection, configuration and implementation. A similar committee structure also existed with the vendor. The sets of committees formed a strong partnership to ensure a state-of-the-art system which would be easy to use and provide nursing staff with more time at the patient's bedside.

A guide to assist nurse practitioners with standardized nursing language.

The purpose of this project was to develop a guide to support use of the Omaha System in primary care. The Omaha System is a community practice-based standardized nursing language developed by the Visiting Nurses Association (VNA) of Omaha, NE. Nurse practitioners at a primary care faculty practice clinic began using the Omaha System to describe more completely the advanced nursing care provided to clients, beyond ICD-9 and CPT codes. After 9 months of data collection, key faculty members convened to analyze the data and discuss issues in coding and interpretation. To simplify use of the system and facilitate orientation of new faculty, this group devised a Primary Care Guide for the Omaha System. High-frequency problems and interventions were identified. Definitions of the intervention categories were reviewed, and targets appropriate for the primary care environment were recorded. The result was a concise, user-friendly guide to assist the primary care nurse practitioner in the use of standardized nursing language.

Graduate students' experiences in web site development: a project assignment for nursing informatics class.

As healthcare delivery systems' requirements change, nurses will not only have to process and communicate more information, but the nature and types of this information as well as the communication methods will also dramatically change. Nurses must comprehend that information technology is the key to these changes. Korean nurses and nursing students need to enhance their computer technology knowledge and skills as the Korean health delivery system rapidly embraces technological innovations. Yonsei University College of Nursing in Seoul, Korea has the longest history in nursing education and the first graduate nursing programs in Korea. It offered its first nursing informatics (NI) class in 1998, making it one of the first informatics programs in Korean nursing education. The purposes of this project were to develop nursing informatics coursework that enabled students to build skills in developing Web sites, and to measure the effect of the coursework in terms of the students' satisfaction and their confidence level. The author believes that this experience could be a helpful model for an international audience, although this is not an innovative project for some more advanced countries.
