Examining Faith Community Nurses’ Perception and Utilization of Electronic Health Records

Abstract The purpose of this study is to identify current faith community nurse documentation practices, explore factors impacting intention to adopt electronic health records, and identify perceived barriers and benefits to electronic health record use among faith community nurses practicing in the Midwest. The technology acceptance model is used to examine impact of perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use of electronic health records on intention to adopt. This study is a quantitative exploratory research study utilizing a cross-sectional researcher-developed 39-item questionnaire. Surveys were distributed by mail and e-mail to faith community nurses practicing in South-Central Indiana and Western Kentucky. Survey data was collected from 114 faith community nurses whose nursing educational levels ranged from diploma to PhD for a response rate of 46%. Descriptive statistics and Pearson’s correlations were used to report study results. Positive correlations were found between both perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use and intention to adopt with a stronger correlation associated with perceived usefulness. Participants reported financial challenges as most significant barriers to electronic health record adoption while the highest rated benefits were associated with record access, enhanced care coordination, and improved ability to identify and communicate FCN practice to decision makers. This study adds new knowledge on documentation practices and perceptions of faith community nurses related to electronic health records. Understanding the impact of perceived usefulness, ease of use, barriers, and benefits on electronic health record adoption will inform future initiatives seeking to increase faith community nurse electronic health record adoption. Keywords: faith community nurses, electronic health record, adoption, barriers, facilitator

EXPLORING E-LEARNING BEHAVIOR THROUGH LEARNING DISCOURSES

As many studies predict e-learning behaviors through intention, few of them investigate user’s learning behaviors directly. In addition to intention, individual’s e-learning behaviors may be influenced by technology readiness and group influences, such as social identity and social bond. This research-in-progress study explores how e-learning behaviors vary with intention, technology readiness, social identity and social bond. Our investigation was based on analyzing the speech acts embedded in fourteen learners’ online discourses in an eighteen-week e-learning course. We then compared how speech acts varied among groups with different degree of intention, technology readiness, social identity, and social bond. Our findings contribute e-learning research by clarifying how intention, technology readiness, social identity, and social bond influence learning behaviors in e-learning context

An appraisal of Nursing Informatics Research and the Influence of the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology

Abstract The study recognized the importance of healthcare informatics in today’s dynamic health systems, and narrows down to how nursing informatics, a component of healthcare informatics, can provide efficient and effective healthcare delivery. Hence, underpinned by the unified theory of acceptance and use of technology (UTAUT), the study aimed at situating research activities on nursing informatics within existing studies that have applied the theory to investigate healthcare informatics in general. The study adopted a systematic review of literature to explored online databases: Google Scholar and Ebscohost from 2014 to 2019. The search returned a total of 205 articles for the specified period. However, only 8 eligible studies were found to be related specifically to nursing informatics. The study also revealed that performance expectancy and effort expectancy (respectively), both being constructs of the UTAUT, are the dominating factors influencing the acceptance/adoption/use of nursing informatics among the papers under review. The study recommends that researchers should further explore the use of nursing informatics technologies in healthcare. In addition; nursing informatics system designers should factor in the effectiveness and ease of use of the technologies for easy usage. On the other hand, the stakeholders in medical field are called upon to provide the enabling infrastructure to enhance the use of nursing informatics technologies

Readiness factor identification Bandung city MSMEs use blockchain technology

MSMEs in Indonesia are expected to be able to face competition in the era of industrial revolution 4.0. However, there are many problems and obstacles in competitiveness, especially facing global competition, including access to capital, access to information and technology, access to organization and management, and access to business networks and partnerships. Besides, it is often difficult for them to get additional capital through banks or other lenders to increase their business scale. Moreover, a lack of financial and digital literacy causes the low validity of MSMEs' data to lenders. The adoption of blockchain technology is one of the considerations to minimize these MSMEs problems. Meanwhile, this technology is still relatively new to be applied to MSMEs but positively impacts the future. This study aims to measure and analyze MSMEs' readiness in using blockchain technology on a business scale with the TRAM model. This model integrates the Technology Readiness Index (TRI) and Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) models. This study aims to test several variables, including TRI, perceive ease of use, perceive ease of usefulness, attitude toward, and intense use of blockchain technology. Data processing uses the partial least square path modelling (PLS-PM) method. The results showed that TRI was significant on perceived ease of usefulness and perceived ease of usefulness. Then, perceive ease of use is significant towards perceive ease of usefulness and intention to use. Besides, perceive ease of usefulness is significant for attitude. The attitude toward variable is significant for the intention to use in the acceptance of blockchain technology.UMKM di Indonesia diharapkan dapat menghadapi persaingan pada era revolusi industri 4.0. Tetapi, banyak persoalan dan kendala dalam berdaya saing, terutama menghadapi persaingan global diantaranya akses modal, akses informasi dan teknologi, akses organisasi dan manajemen, serta akses pembentukan jaringan usaha dan kemitraan. Selain itu, sering mengalami kesulitan untuk mendapatkan tambahan modal lewat perbankan maupun pemberi pinjaman lainnya untuk melakukan peningkatan skala bisnis. Hal ini dikarenakan kurangnya literasi finansial dan digital yang menyebabkan rendahnya validitas data yang diberikan UMKM kepada pemberi pinjaman.

The Moderating Effects of Age and Computer Knowledge on Nurses’ Acceptance of Information Systems: A Canadian Study

The objective of this study was to educate on the moderating effects of age and computer knowledge on nurses’ acceptance of information systems (IS). The background theoretical framework used was the technology acceptance model (TAM), which has been widely favored by healthcare researchers. A relevant research model including TAM’s core constructs, i.e., perceived usefulness (PUSS) and ease of use (PEOU), age, and computer knowledge was used. Usable data was collected from 197 registered nurses (RNs) in Nova Scotia, Canada, in a cross-sectional survey. The partial least squares (PLS) technique of structural equation modeling was used for data analysis. The results of the hypothesized relationships show that computer knowledge has a positive moderating effect on the influences of PEOU and PUSS on nurses’ attitudes toward IS (ATTI); the demographic factor of age did not. PEOU and PUSS have direct positive influence on nurses’ ATTI, which in turn impacts their behavioral intentions to use IS (BEHI). Lastly, nurses’ self-reported IS use is positively influenced by BEHI. The study’s results drew the attention of practitioners and academics to the impacts of age and computer knowledge in the discourse of nurses’ IS acceptance in work environments

La réceptivité aux technologies des étudiants en médecine et le rapport entre cette réceptivité et leurs intérêts envers certaines spécialités

Background: Technology readiness (TR) is a construct which characterizes an individual’s propensity to utilize new technology. Despite increased technology use in healthcare, limited data exists on medical student TR and the relation of TR with specialty interest. This study assesses the TR of 2nd year medical students and its association with specialty interest. Methods: Respondents completed a survey assessing their most preferred specialty, specialty interests, and technology readiness using a 5-point Likert scale. Using Chi-square analysis, we examined the relation between demographics, TR, and specialty interest. Results: This study obtained a 45.7% (n = 53/116) response rate demonstrating that 79.2% (n = 42/53) of students were “technology ready.” Male students were more likely to be technology ready (95.2%, n = 20/21, vs 68.8%, n = 22/32, p = 0.02) when compared to female students. Technology ready students were associated with being more interested in “Technology-Focused” specialties compared to students who were not technology ready (88.5%, n = 23/26 vs 70.4%, n = 19/27, p = 0.104). Conclusions: As a cohort, most medical students were technology ready. It is inconclusive if technology ready students are more likely to be interested in technology-focused specialties due to the limited sample size of this study, although with an increased sample size, an improved understanding on technology readiness and its potential impact on student specialty interest may be obtained. Furthermore, knowledge of TR may aid in developing targeted technology-based education programs and in improving remedial approaches for students who are less comfortable with new technology.Contexte : La réceptivité aux technologies (RT) renvoie à la tendance qu’a un individu à utiliser une nouvelle technologie. Malgré l’utilisation accrue des technologies dans le domaine des soins de santé, il existe peu de données sur la RT des étudiants en médecine et sur la relation entre cette réceptivité et leur intérêt envers les diverses spécialités. La présente étude évalue la RT des étudiants en médecine de 2e année et le rapport entre celle-ci et leur intérêt envers certaines spécialités. Méthodes : Les répondants au sondage ont été interrogés sur leur spécialité préférée, sur leurs intérêts envers les diverses spécialités et sur leur réceptivité aux technologies. Leurs réponses ont été évaluées à l’aide d’une échelle de Likert à 5 points. En utilisant l’analyse du Chi carré, nous avons examiné la relation entre la démographie, la RT et les intérêts de spécialité. Résultats : Cette étude a obtenu un taux de réponse de 45,7 % (n = 53/116), montrant que 79,2 % (n = 42/53) des étudiants sont prêts pour l’utilisation des technologies. Cette tendance est davantage présente chez les étudiants de sexe masculin (95,2 %, n = 20/21, comparé à 68,8 %, n = 22/32, p = 0,02 pour les étudiantes). Les étudiants qui sont réceptifs aux technologies ont plus tendance que leurs homologues qui le sont moins à s’intéresser aux spécialités « axées sur la technologie » (88,5 %, n = 23/26, comparé à 70,4 %, n = 19/27, p = 0,104). Conclusions : La plupart des étudiants de la cohorte étudiée étaient réceptifs aux technologies. En raison de la taille limitée de l’échantillon de l’étude, on ne peut pas conclure que les étudiants qui sont réceptifs aux technologies sont plus susceptibles de s’intéresser aux spécialités axées sur la technologie. Des recherches fondées sur un échantillon élargi nous aideraient à mieux comprendre la réceptivité aux technologies et son impact potentiel sur les intérêts des étudiants envers les diverses spécialités. De surcroît, ces connaissances peuvent contribuer à l’élaboration de programmes d’enseignement axés sur la technologie et de mesures d’aide au profit des étudiants qui sont moins à l’aise avec les nouvelles technologies
