Teaching microcomputing to student nurses: an evaluation.

This paper describes an introductory computer course designed for student nurses facing a career in nursing in which computers will play a major part. Questionnaires were given before and after the course. The purpose of the questionnaires were (a) initially to gain information about the students' previous computing experience, motivation and expectations of the course, and (b) to enable an evaluation to be undertaken. The course content, structure and results of the questionnaires are presented; modifications made to the course following the evaluation are mentioned and finally some of the issues which need to be considered when developing a computer course for nurses are raised.

Nurses' attitudes towards computerization: a review of the literature.

It is evident that the increased use of computer technology in health care settings is having an impact on the nursing profession. This paper reviews the literature examining the attitudes of nurses to computerization, concluding that, although computers are being increasingly incorporated into the nurse's working environment, the literature lacks adequate research support of the attitudes held by psychiatric nurses toward computerization. A move toward computerization, as with any innovation, can be greatly facilitated if nurses respond to the change in a positive manner. Accordingly, a greater understanding of psychiatric nurses' attitudes toward computerization could be an integral part of the process of computerization within psychiatric settings.

Beyond MEDLINE for literature searches.

PURPOSE: To describe strategies for a comprehensive literature search. ORGANIZING CONSTRUCT: MEDLINE searches result in limited numbers of studies that are often biased toward statistically significant findings. Diversified search strategies are needed. METHODS: Empirical evidence about the recall and precision of diverse search strategies is presented. Challenges and strengths of each search strategy are identified. FINDINGS: Search strategies vary in recall and precision. Often sensitivity and specificity are inversely related. Valuable search strategies include examination of multiple diverse computerized databases, ancestry searches, citation index searches, examination of research registries, journal hand searching, contact with the "invisible college," examination of abstracts, Internet searches, and contact with sources of synthesized information. CONCLUSIONS: Extending searches beyond MEDLINE enables researchers to conduct more systematic comprehensive searches.

Use of computer technology to enhance immigrant families' adaptation.

PURPOSE: To summarize how computer technology influenced immigrant families' adaptation to life in the United States. DESIGN: Critical ethnography. METHODS: Data were collected from 1998 to 2000 from 13 parents and 16 children from nine Taiwanese immigrant families using semi-structured interviews and a questionnaire. Narrative analysis was used with interview data. FINDINGS: Participants faced the demands of language proficiency, economic survival, loss of social networks, and social disconnection during resettlement. Computer technology provided participants with new occupational opportunities and strategies to overcome the barriers and stress created by resettlement. Internet and E-mail access greatly facilitated these participant families' adaptation. CONCLUSIONS: Study findings warrant further exploration to assess bow new computer technology promotes immigrant families' adaptation and alleviates stress associated with resettlement, including information about their health and health care.

Sketching the future: trends influencing nursing informatics.

Technologies emerging in the fields of telecommunications, video and digital imaging, and microprocessing are shaping the future of nursing practice. To measure up to the future needs of nursing, nurses of today must have the vision and desire to become computer aware and technologically literate. Hypothetical future situations pose challenges related to current nursing informatics and artificial intelligence issues. Discussion includes technology issues related to the lifetime clinical health record. Areas that the Center for Nursing Research considers priorities for informatics suggest directions for nursing technology efforts. This article calls on all nurses to become active in designing and molding future clinical practice systems.

Implementing a perinatal clinical information system: a work in progress.

Implementation of a clinical information system is a work in progress. There are many factors to consider, including (a) clearly defining the scope of the project and associated goals, (b) identifying background, skills, and beliefs of the key players, (c) assessing the unit's strengths and weaknesses, (d) assessing the current documentation's strengths and weaknesses, (e) assessing the clinical information system's strengths and weaknesses, (f) determining the project's constraints, and (g) discussing different implementation strategies. This article describes how these factors were considered during implementation of a clinical information system in a labor and delivery unit.
