The Importance of Receiving Training in Computerized Technology for Nurses to Maintain Sustainability in the Health System

Abstract

The purpose of the study was to examine nurses’ perceptions regarding the usage of computerized technology and to understand the meaning of this technological change in nurses’ work in the context of sustainability. The study was designed as a mixed method and included the following research tools: questionnaires for data collection that were sent via email and semi-structured interviews of nurses, chosen voluntarily and randomly. The data were collected from 214 questionnaires in total, using technology acceptance model questionnaires, and the professional self-identity questionnaire (PSIQ). Moreover, data was collected from 10 in-depth interviews. Subsequently, the data was analyzed to understand the influence of personal, professional, and social factors concerning the usage of computer technology in nursing. The study was undertaken within the understanding that the participation of nurses is essential for the creation of sustainable developments, such as the use of computer technology, eventually leading to an improvement in the quality of care and the health of the community. Years of seniority in nursing, ease of use of technology, technology relevant to the job, and higher output quality, were associated with the most perceived benefits of using technology in a positive correlation. Relative to nurses’ sense of professionalism, there is an understanding that adopting new behavioral functions for their role will lead to promoting the quality of care and improving the health of the community. From the perspective of global sustainability, there is a need to develop methods involving multi-professional teamwork to implement computerized technologies within the country and between countries to improve sustainable conditions in the world.

Introducing Computerized Technology to Nurses: A Model Based on Cognitive Instrumental and Social Influence Processes

“…Significant and positive relationships were found between perceived usefulness and seniority in nursing, perceived ease of use, relevance to work, and quality of output. That is, the higher the seniority in nursing, the more perceived ease of use, the more perceived job relevance, and the higher quality of output, were related to the more perceived usefulness of technology use [ 1 ].…”

“…Computerized systems in the work of the nurse introduced technological challenges into the nursing profession. Challenges that require adaptation to new working methods, expansion of knowledge and skills in the field of technology, and integration of all this in quality care, create professional and personal frustrations [ 1 , 2 ]. The accelerated development of technologies in the field of science have led nurses to the need for adjustment and change in the therapeutic care approach and improvement of their abilities to use computerized technologies.…”

A novel hybrid sustainable healthcare supply chain model for patient safety: A case study of Cambodia

“…Technology has been increasingly playing a crucial role in the healthcare supply chain for several years [42]. However, the COVID-19 pandemic acted as a catalyst, making technology even more vital for supply chains, particularly within the healthcare sector, in order to enhance patient safety in a sustainable manner [58,[91][92][93][94][95].…”

Pemanfaatan Teknologi Informasi dalam Praktik Keperawatan

“…Temuan di atas konsisten dengan pernyataan yang menyatakan bahwa alur kerja di antara sejumlah institusi layanan kesehatan diperluas dengan menggunakan sumber daya TIK dan meningkatkan kepuasan pasien (Addo & Agyepong, 2020). Tsarfati & Cojocaru (2022) menunjukkan dengan pemahaman bahwa partisipasi perawat sangat penting untuk terciptanya pembangunan berkelanjutan, seperti penggunaan teknologi komputer, yang pada akhirnya mengarah pada peningkatan kualitas layanan dan kesehatan masyarakat. Pemanfaatan TI dalam praktik keperawatan dapat memberikan peningkatan pelayanan keperawatan dalam hal kualitas dan kuantitas pelayanan.…”

“…Sehubungan dengan perasaan profesionalisme perawat, ada pemahaman bahwa mengadopsi fitur perilaku baru untuk peran mereka akan mengarah pada pemasaran layanan yang luar biasa dan meningkatkan kebugaran masyarakat. Dari perspektif keberlanjutan global, terdapat kebutuhan untuk memperkuat strategi yang melibatkan kerja tim multi-profesional untuk menerapkan ilmu terapan terkomputerisasi di Amerika dan antar negara untuk meningkatkan ketentuan berkelanjutan di dunia (Tsarfati & Cojocaru, 2022).…”
