Abstract

Review question: How are nursing informatics competencies defined or assessed in the literature?

Impact of Nursing Professionalism on Perception of Patient Privacy Protection in Nursing Students: Mediating Effect of Nursing Informatics Competency

“…This is consistent with previous findings. Nursing professionalism affects the perception of patient privacy protection, such as protection of patients’ privacy and personal information [ 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 , 10 , 11 , 12 , 13 , 14 , 15 , 16 , 17 , 18 , 19 , 20 , 21 , 22 , 23 , 24 , 25 , 26 , 27 ]. The findings confirmed that the higher the nursing professionalism, the higher the protection of patient privacy [ 28 ].…”

“…However, there were limitations in comparing the results of this study with other studies that confirmed the relationship between nursing professionalism and informatics competency due to the scarcity of such studies. Previous studies found that nursing professionalism showed a significant positive correlation with patient information management and information literacy (the ability to collect, interpret, and judge necessary information correctly), which is a similar concept to a sub-concept of nursing informatics competency [ 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 , 10 , 11 , 12 , 13 , 14 , 15 , 16 , 17 , 18 , 19 , 20 , 21 , 22 , 23 , 24 , 25 , 26 , 27 , 28 , 29 , 30 , 31 , 32 ]. Nursing professionalism includes practical competency along with ethical standards in a rapidly changing medical environment [ 29 , 30 ].…”

“…Along with patient privacy protection, one of the most important roles of nurses is to collect and interpret data to provide safe and effective patient care [ 16 ], and in the present times, informatics is one of the core competencies that healthcare professionals should accomplish [ 17 ]. Nursing informatics competency refers to the knowledge, skills, and attitude of using various nursing, computer, and information sciences [ 18 ].…”

“…In medical setups, informatics technology is used in important decision-making for optimal patient outcomes [ 19 ], along with in collecting, managing, and protecting patient privacy. The higher the nursing informatics competency of nursing students, the higher their awareness of patient privacy protection [ 8 , 9 , 10 , 11 , 12 , 13 , 14 , 15 , 16 , 17 , 18 , 19 , 20 ]. It has been reported that insufficient nursing competency can lead to the inability to properly use electronic patient privacy for nursing and research, resulting in problems in patient privacy protection.…”

La creación de una red de conocimientos en enfermería en países de habla hispana: conceptualización de posibilidades basadas en recursos identificados

“…De esta información se observa que cuatro áreas no tuvieron respuestas: Informática de Enfermería, Salud masculina, Salud de inmigrantes y Refugiados; esto despertó el interés del equipo de la RCE en conocer cómo estas áreas afectan a las personas de los países que respondieron. Como tendencia actual y futura de la ciencia de Enfermería, la competencia en informática de Enfermería sostiene otras competencias importantes, como la colaboración interpersonal, la prestación de atención centrada en el paciente y la práctica basada en la evidencia para la calidad de la atención 8 . Asimismo, la investigación sobre la salud masculina es una prioridad epidemiológica, ya que ha reducido la esperanza de vida de los hombres en la región de las Américas 9 .…”
