Abstract
Purpose: The digitalization of healthcare is developing quickly. Every care provider needs to be up-to-date on this technology. The purpose of this research was to identify the digital literacy of nursing staff and nurse managers.
Methods: A cross-sectional study assessed nurses' digital literacy, specifically with regard to nursing informatics competencies in hospitals, primary healthcare, and clinics. The study sample included 100 nurses and 83 nurse managers. Researchers applied a modified questionnaire on nurses' informatics competencies from TIGER Nursing Informatics, with a validity range of 0.497-0.897 and a reliability value of 0.975.
Results: Participants showed an acceptable level of computer literacy, although their scores were below 80%. Their scores were unrelated to workplace, duration and type of technology used, or gender. Nursing informatics competencies correlated significantly with age and work experience (p = 0.001). Age correlated negatively with technical computer skills but positively with competence in the implementation of healthcare. There was a positive link with a nurse's position and education level, indicating that nurses with more education acquire higher levels of informatics competencies than those with less education. Additionally, those in higher positions tended to possess more advanced digital competence.
Conclusion: Nurse managers play a significant role in training nursing staff members to enhance their informatics competencies. This study's findings underscore the need to raise staff members' informatics competencies by providing additional training.
期刊介绍：
Efficient and successful modern healthcare depends on a growing group of professionals working together as an interdisciplinary team. However, many forces shape the delivery of healthcare; changes are being driven by the markets, transformations in concepts of health and wellbeing, technology and research and discovery. Dynamic leadership will guide these necessary transformations. The Journal of Healthcare Leadership is an international, peer-reviewed, open access journal focusing on leadership for the healthcare professions. The publication strives to amalgamate current and future healthcare professionals and managers by providing key insights into leadership progress and challenges to improve patient care. The journal aspires to inform key decision makers and those professionals with ambitions of leadership and management; it seeks to connect professionals who are engaged in similar endeavours and to provide wisdom from those working in other industries. Senior and trainee doctors, nurses and allied healthcare professionals, medical students, healthcare managers and allied leaders are invited to contribute to this publication
