Abstract

Technological developments and nursing shortages have become global trends. To solve the problem of shortage of healthcare professionals, technology may be used as a backup. Nurses constitute the largest working group in the healthcare system. Therefore, nurses are very important to the success of implementing digitization in hospitals. This cross-sectional study used the characteristics and adoption roles of innovation diffusion theory to understand technology use within the organization. Data were collected through structured questionnaires and open-ended questions from March 21 to May 31, 2022, in two hospitals in Taiwan. In total, 159 nurses agreed to participate in the study. The results of this study revealed that observability, simplicity, advantage, trialability, and compatibility positively improved the acceptance of digital nursing technology. In the distribution of users' innovative roles, early adopters had a significant impact on innovation characteristics and technology acceptance. Nurses in acute and critical care units perceived a greater comparative advantage and trial availability of digital nursing technology use than did those in general wards and outpatient clinics. In addition, based on user opinions and suggestions, the development of smart healthcare and the use of digital technology are expected to improve the quality of nursing care.

探索护士对数字护理技术的使用。

技术发展和护理人员短缺已成为全球趋势。要解决医护人员短缺的问题，可以利用技术作为后盾。护士是医疗系统中最大的工作群体。因此，护士对医院成功实施数字化非常重要。这项横断面研究利用创新扩散理论的特征和采用角色来了解组织内的技术使用情况。研究于 2022 年 3 月 21 日至 5 月 31 日在台湾的两家医院通过结构化问卷和开放式问题收集数据。共有 159 名护士同意参与研究。研究结果显示，可观察性、简单性、优势性、可试用性和兼容性积极地提高了数字化护理技术的接受度。在用户的创新角色分布中，早期采用者对创新特征和技术接受度有显著影响。与普通病房和门诊部的护士相比，急诊和重症监护病房的护士认为数字化护理技术的使用具有更大的比较优势和试用性。此外，根据用户的意见和建议，智能医疗的发展和数字技术的使用有望提高护理质量。
