Abstract
Background: Electronic medical records (EMRs) can minimize mistakes, enhance the comprehensiveness, legibility, and overall comprehension of medical records. However, nurses' limited familiarity with advanced technology lowers their confidence in utilizing EMRs. We aimed to collect and synthesize the most credible evidence on nurses' perception of EMRs, along with the barriers and facilitators that influence their acceptance.
Methods: Searching for relevant studies was carried out across three electronic databases, namely PubMed, Scopus and ProQuest in Dec 2023. Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) was followed in this study report. The selected studies were then analyzed narratively and organized thematically for presentation.
Results: Out of the 4,382 articles identified through comprehensive database searches, only 19 met the criteria for inclusion and reviewed. Through the synthesis of findings, two primary themes emerged, including nurses' perceptions and experiences with EMRs and facilitators & barriers for nurses' in utilizing EMRs.
Conclusion: Nurses' perspectives are shaped by their computer skills, confidence in their abilities, and training. Despite obstacles such as nurse stress, EMRs present advantages such as enhanced patient care and decreased errors. Augmenting computer competency, delivering training, and guaranteeing support are essential for effective EMRs integration, leading to enhanced healthcare provision and better patient results.
期刊介绍：
Iranian Journal of Public Health has been continuously published since 1971, as the only Journal in all health domains, with wide distribution (including WHO in Geneva and Cairo) in two languages (English and Persian). From 2001 issue, the Journal is published only in English language. During the last 41 years more than 2000 scientific research papers, results of health activities, surveys and services, have been published in this Journal. To meet the increasing demand of respected researchers, as of January 2012, the Journal is published monthly. I wish this will assist to promote the level of global knowledge. The main topics that the Journal would welcome are: Bioethics, Disaster and Health, Entomology, Epidemiology, Health and Environment, Health Economics, Health Services, Immunology, Medical Genetics, Mental Health, Microbiology, Nutrition and Food Safety, Occupational Health, Oral Health. We would be very delighted to receive your Original papers, Review Articles, Short communications, Case reports and Scientific Letters to the Editor on the above mentioned research areas.
