本研究的主要目的在於瞭解嘉南地區在職進修二技護理系之護理人員(簡稱護生)對電腦的態度以及探討影響態度的相關因素。研究採立意取樣,共得有效問卷160份,護生年齡介於21-50歲,問卷回收率93.5%。問卷回收後,以t檢定、變異數分析或皮爾森相關等方法針對不同項目進行資料分析。研究結果如下:(1)護生對電腦的態度是正向的。(2)目前使用電腦者以及家中具備電腦者對於電腦呈現較正面的看法。(3)能夠操作Word、PowerPoint以及Medline資料庫的護生對於電腦有較正向的態度。(4)護生使用電腦的時間以及上網的時間與電腦態度呈現顯著正相關。(5)護生自評電腦程度越高者,對於電腦的態度越正向。(6)已婚以及任職管理階層的護生對電腦有較正向的態度。(7)年齡以及護理年資對於護生的電腦態度無顯著差異。 本研究結果不僅可提供護理教育界作為規劃電腦教育課程的參考,也可作為臨床實務界在新近人員課程訓練或是在職教育課程中,安排電腦相關課程的指引,期使醫院在推行護理電腦化時更加流暢。
This study attempted to understand the attitudes of two-year RN-BSN nursing students towards computers and explore the determinants of these attitudes in the Tainan and Chiayi area. Subjects were recruited by purposive sampling. One hundred and sixty subjects aged 2 I -50 were enrolled, and the response rate was 93.5%. All data were analyzed through t-test, one-way ANOV A, and Pearson correlation. The results of the study included the following: (1) The nursing students tented to have a positive attitude towards computers. (2) The nursing students who used computers regularly or had computers at home were more positive toward computers than their peers. (3) Nursing students who knew how to use Word, PowerPoint, and Medline had more positive attitudes toward computers than those who were unfamiliar with these applications. (4) The length of computer use and time spending on-line by nursing students were positively correlated with their attitudes towards computers. (5) The higher the nursing students rated their own computer skills in a self-evaluation, the more positive their attitudes towards computers were. (6) Married nursing students and those in managerial positions were more positive towards computers than the average for the total sample. (7) No correlations existed between age or years of nursing experience and attitudes towards computers. The above findings can not only help nursing educators to plan computer courses in the future, but can also help clinical managers to organize computer lessons for new staff orientation or in-service programs.
