Abstract
Aim
The study was conducted to determine nurses' experiences with electronic patient record systems and their suggestions for incorporating them into undergraduate nursing education.
Background
The integration of computers into healthcare represents one of the most significant developments of the 21st century. Understanding nursing professionals' experiences with electronic patient record systems and the innovations they seek in teaching can provide effective methods for training future users.
The study was conducted with 12 nurses. Data were collected through face-to-face interviews using semi-structured interview questions and analysed using content analysis.
Results
Nurses' experiences were categorised into two main themes: using and teaching the Electronic Patient Record System. Participants reported difficulties related to inadequate physical infrastructure and software issues in the clinical setting. On the other hand, nurses acknowledged that electronic patient record systems enabled them to collect accurate, complete and traceable data, improved the quality of care and saved time for care. It was identified that nurses required training on these systems during their undergraduate education, especially learning from their colleagues. Participants suggested that teaching should involve the development of demo software.
Conclusions
Using electronic recording systems in hospitals enhances care management and facilitates documentation. Nurses recommend that students and practising nurses receive theoretical and practical training to adapt effectively to hospital systems. The development of demo software was proposed as a valuable educational tool.
期刊介绍：
Nurse Education in Practice enables lecturers and practitioners to both share and disseminate evidence that demonstrates the actual practice of education as it is experienced in the realities of their respective work environments. It is supportive of new authors and will be at the forefront in publishing individual and collaborative papers that demonstrate the link between education and practice.
