Leadership in nursing informatics.

Nursing informatics is a 21st century science with great potential for improving the quality, safety, and efficiency of health care. Perinatal, neonatal, and women's health nurses have an opportunity to contribute and lead in informatics. Leaders must learn about current informatics issues from essential resources, including the literature, professional organizations, and education programs, to develop successful strategies for innovation, collaboration, and implementation. Most important, nurses must be accountable for humanizing the use of technology using a nursing model.

Cross-cultural health education: materials on the World Wide Web.

Language differences between health providers and consumers create a central barrier to the delivery of health education. This article presents the results of an analysis of more than 75 bi/multilingual health sites available on the Internet. The review criteria and a summary of the key features of the best sites are presented. Limitations common to most sites are identified. Recommendations and caveats in the use of bilingual health information sites are introduced.

How to search for information on transcultural nursing and health subjects: Internet and CD-ROM resources.

With the proliferation of electronic resources available to search for subjects related to transcultural nursing and health, nurses must keep abreast of computer-based tools that enable them to quickly and efficiently obtain information on a variety of topics. This article provides suggestions for narrowing and focusing a search on transcultural nursing and related subjects using key terms indexed in the Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature, International Nursing Index, Medline, Index Medicus, and Psychological Abstracts/PsychLit. Information about accessing the Native American Resource Information Service, Education Resources Information Center, Infotrac/Expanded Academic Index, and Sociological Abstracts also is provided. In the article, selected examples of Internet sites of interest in transcultural nursing and health are identified with their universal resource locator, and they are annotated. Web sites for U.S. government agencies, organizations, and commercial groups that concern transcultural nursing and health are cited. Global transcultural health and nursing Internet resources also are included.

Internet resources for end-of-life care.

Numerous publications highlight the need for critically evaluating medical information on the Internet. This review identifies Internet resources specifically dedicated to end-of-life care. An annotated review of key web-based resources is presented. The Internet has the potential to catalyze the doctor-patient relationship toward true "partnership." Physicians and patients will benefit from using a focused research strategy.

Create a virtual community: start an Internet discussion list.

Internet discussion lists are valuable tools for sharing resources, creating professional relationships, and remaining current in a specialty. Despite the proliferation of health-related lists, there are still school nurse subspecialties and associations that would benefit from professional mailing lists. The process of starting a list is simple and quick. The effort required to manage a list is well worth the benefits of creating a virtual professional school nurse community.

Using the Internet to enhance evidence-based practice.

Evidence-based healthcare requires reliable and validated research findings to aid improved clinical practice. The Internet, with its growing medical resources, is an invaluable tool for busy healthcare workers. However, as more material becomes available on the web, the quality and reliability of various information sites is a worry for many practitioners. The ability to evaluate web sites is becoming increasingly important and as a novice user, I was interested to discover the extent to which the Internet could assist me researching a specific topic. This article describes the process of conducting an Internet search, on a topic relevant to theatre nursing, and considers how the resources might best be evaluated.

Teaching clinical informatics to third-year medical students: negative results from two controlled trials.

BACKGROUND: Prior educational interventions to increase seeking evidence by medical students have been unsuccessful. METHODS: We report two quasirandomized controlled trials to increase seeking of medical evidence by third-year medical students. In the first trial (1997-1998), we placed computers in clinical locations and taught their use in a 6-hour course. Based on negative results, we created SUMSearch, an Internet site that automates searching for medical evidence by simultaneous meta-searching of MEDLINE and other sites. In the second trial (1999-2000), we taught SUMSearch's use in a 5(1/2)-hour course. Both courses were taught during the medicine clerkship. For each trial, we surveyed the entire third-year class at 6 months, after half of the students had taken the course (intervention group). The students who had not received the intervention were the control group. We measured self-report of search frequency and satisfaction with search quality and speed. RESULTS: The proportion of all students who reported searching at least weekly for medical evidence significantly increased from 19% (1997-1998) to 42% (1999-2000). The proportion of all students who were satisfied with their search results increased significantly between study years. However, in neither study year did the interventions increase searching or satisfaction with results. Satisfaction with the speed of searching was 27% in 1999-2000. This did not increase between studies years and was not changed by the interventions. CONCLUSION: None of our interventions affected searching habits. Even with automated searching, students report low satisfaction with search speed. We are concerned that students using current strategies for seeking medical evidence will be less likely to seek and appraise original studies when they enter medical practice and have less time.
