BACKGROUND: Nursing informatics competency holds immense significance in the modern healthcare landscape, making it a vital requirement for nursing students before they graduate and embark on their professional careers. Nurses should integrate evidence-based nursing informatics (NI) into routine procedures to manage acute and chronic illnesses due to the increased complexity of the nursing profession and the healthcare systems.
METHODS: A systematic review.
METHODS: PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and EMBASE were searched till December 2023 for any relevant studies evaluating the nursing informatics competency among students.
RESULTS: In this systematic review of 13 articles, the nursing informatics seems to be familiar among nursing students. Most of the included participants were generally competent, with an average total nursing informatics competency score of 3.4. In addition, they reported good scores for the clinical informatics role (Mean = 2.63), attitude (M= 3.7), basic computer knowledge and skills (M= 3.9), applied computer skills (M= 2.5), and wireless device skills (M= 3.2). However, these results were limited due to the use of structurally different assessment tools and their different cutoff values.
CONCLUSIONS: Nursing informatics competency has a great impact on the quality of services provided by healthcare systems. It is affected by several factors, such as the student\'s previous computer experience and the curricular and extracurricular exposure to informatics knowledge and skills. The available literature lacks a precise judgment on the competency of nursing students. But it seems to vary from fair to good among them. So, it is recommended to include nursing informatics as an obligatory course rather than an elective in the nursing baccalaureate. This helps prepare future nurses with the required knowledge and skills for better clinical decision-making.
背景:护理信息学能力在现代医疗保健领域具有巨大的意义,使其成为护理专业学生毕业并开始职业生涯之前的重要要求。由于护理专业和医疗保健系统的复杂性增加,护士应将循证护理信息学(NI)整合到常规程序中,以管理急性和慢性疾病。
方法:系统评价。
方法:PubMed,Scopus,WebofScience,直到2023年12月,EMBASE都被搜索到评估学生护理信息学能力的任何相关研究。
结果:在对13篇文章的系统综述中,护理信息学似乎在护理专业学生中很熟悉。大多数参与者通常都有能力,平均总护理信息学能力得分为3.4分。此外,他们报告了临床信息学作用的良好分数(平均值=2.63),姿态(M=3.7),基本的计算机知识和技能(M=3.9),应用计算机技能(M=2.5),和无线设备技能(M=3.2)。然而,由于使用了结构不同的评估工具及其不同的截止值,这些结果受到限制.
结论:护理信息学能力对医疗保健系统提供的服务质量有很大影响。它受到几个因素的影响,如学生以前的计算机经验和课内和课外接触到的信息学知识和技能。现有文献缺乏对护生能力的准确判断。但他们之间似乎从公平到好不一样。所以,建议将护理信息学作为必修课,而不是选修护理学士学位。这有助于为未来的护士准备所需的知识和技能,以便更好地做出临床决策。
