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.

Design

Qualitative, cross-sectional, interpretive phenomenological design.

Methods

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.

护士对电子病历系统的体验和教学建议：定性方法研究。

目的：本研究旨在了解护士对电子病历系统的体验，以及他们对将电子病历系统纳入本科护理教育的建议：背景：计算机融入医疗保健是 21 世纪最重要的发展之一。了解护理专业人员使用电子病历系统的经验以及他们在教学中寻求的创新，可以为培训未来的用户提供有效的方法：设计：定性、横断面、解释性现象学设计：研究对象为 12 名护士。采用半结构化访谈问题，通过面对面访谈收集数据，并使用内容分析法对数据进行分析：护士们的经验被归类为两大主题：电子病历系统的使用和教学。参与者报告了在临床环境中遇到的与物理基础设施不足和软件问题有关的困难。另一方面，护士们承认电子病历系统使他们能够收集准确、完整和可追溯的数据，提高了护理质量，节省了护理时间。与会者认为，护士需要在本科教育期间接受有关这些系统的培训，特别是向同事学习。与会者建议，教学中应开发演示软件：结论：在医院使用电子记录系统可加强护理管理并方便记录。护士建议学生和执业护士接受理论和实践培训，以有效适应医院系统。开发演示软件被认为是一种有价值的教育工具。
