INTRODUCTIONThe purpose of the medical records originated to document patient's history allowing physicians to recall the past and organize sharing of information. Nurses have a long tradition of documenting nursing care in patient records collecting hundreds of thousands of pieces of information, everyday-facts in regards to patients, diseases, and procedures among other things. Process of nursing documentation was formalized during the years of Florence Nightingale. There is no doubt that nurses bear a huge burden in the management and ABSTRACT Background: Nurses represent the largest profession in the healthcare. Always present at patient's bedside, nurses weave together many facets and create order in the work environment. In addition to providing direct patient care, nurses are also responsible for recording the nursing activities. Handwritten documents however, run a risk of being inconsistent and unstructured often leading to omission of pertinent patient data which may ultimately impact nursing interventions and patient outcomes. Research studies continue to reveal substandard nursing documentation. Hence, nurse administrators today are challenged to achieve; outstanding outcome measures; highest quality quartile ratings for patient care; stellar accreditation performance and various other quality measures. Therefore, development of strategies to improve quality of nursing documentation remains a top priority among nurse administrators. In order to accomplish this, moving from paper to electronic clinical documentation system may be a key tool. For almost two decades, electronic health records have become increasingly popular. Although nurses' perception regarding electronic nursing documentation is one of the most important indicators of the application of nursing information system, it is however, equally important to explore the perception of nurse administrators regarding electronic nursing documentation. The purpose of this study was to explore the perceptions of nurse administrator's regarding electronic nursing documentation. Methods: A descriptive study was undertaken to explore the perception of 26 nurse administrators working in a teaching hospital. A valid and reliable perception assessment scale was developed to generate data. The collected data was analysed using descriptive analysis. Results: Findings revealed that nearly half of the nurse administrators reported a moderately favourable perception towards electronic nursing documentation. Conclusions: It was concluded that overall nurse administrators have a positive perception of electronic nursing documentation which would be beneficial in promoting a positive organization climate towards the acceptance of electronic health records.

“…However, successful implementation of the computer and computer systems depends mainly on the nurses'/in-service training nurses' attitudes its use and acceptance (Oroviogoicoechea et al, 2010;Chow et al, 2011). So, user attitudes are viewed as the components influencing the user technology adoption level and have been found critical to successful computer and computer system implementation (McLane, 2005).…”

“…Besides producing, processing, storing, distributing and using information, the computers increase the level of learning by simultaneously addressing several senses, create permanent learning, save from time, place and learning speed and support life-long learning. With such attributes, the computers support efficient fulfillment of the roles, functions and responsibilities of the nurses/in-service training nurses, increase the quality of health care and enhance quality and efficiency of nursing practice (McNeil et al, 2003;Jiang et al, 2004;Lee, 2008;ANCC, 2010;Chow et al, 2011;Kaya, 2011;Lın et al, 2014).…”

Nurses' perception relating to using technology and computer can directly affect how they structure in-service and continuous education programmes. This research was planned as a crosssectional-correlational design to determine the relationship between in-service training nurses' attitudes toward computer in health care and computer anxiety. Research was realized with 116 inservice training nurses who work at Education Department of Istanbul Local Health Authority and primary, secondary and tertiary health institution subordinate Istanbul Local Health Authority. Data were collected after getting permission from Istanbul Local Health Authority considering voluntariness with "Personal Information Form", "Attitudes Toward Computer in Health Care Assessment Scale (P.A.T.C.H. Assesment Scale)" and "Computer Anxiety Scale (CAS)". Research data were analyzed with SPSS package program. Mean of the P.A.T.C.H. Assesment Scale was found as 20.07±11.91, mean of the CAS was found as 39.31±9.52. There is a moderate negatively significant correlation between the attitude of the in-service training nurses toward computer in health care and their computer anxiety (r: -0.502 p≤0.01). The results of research are limited to in-service training nurses who work in Istanbul and are not generalized to all in-service training nurses. The research findings suggest that in-service training nurses have positive attitude toward computer in health care and low computer anxiety. These findings will enable in-service training nurses to consider the importance of using technology and computer. Understanding these concepts is beneficial in efforts to improve the educational activities offered to nurses, other medical staff and patients.
