“…To our knowledge, there is very little previous research on the connection between user characteristics, such as informatics competence, and perceived usefulness of an HIS. Mainly, the basic ability of nurses to use a computer has been noted to correlate with perceived usefulness (Tubaishat, 2018) and similar findings have been reported in studies with other healthcare professionals (Melas et al, 2011; Walston et al, 2014). Nevertheless, the information management skills needed in a nurse's job are much more complex and multidimensional than just the ability to use a computer.…”

AimsTo identify different nursing informatics competence (NIC) profiles in nurses, examine the factors associated with profile memberships and examine the associations of the derived profiles with the nurses' perception of the usefulness of a health information system (HIS).DesignA cross‐sectional study.MethodsA sample of 3610 registered nurses responded to a nationwide survey in March 2020. A latent profile analysis was performed to identify NIC profiles based on three competence areas: nursing documentation, working in digital environment, and ethics and data protection. A multinomial logistic regression was carried out to examine the associations of demographic and background variables with the profile membership. Linear regression analyses were carried out to examine the association between the profile membership and perceived HIS usefulness.ResultsThree NIC profiles were identified and labelled as low, moderate and high competence groups. A younger age, recent graduation year, sufficient orientation and high‐rated proficiency as an HIS user were associated with nurses belonging to a high or moderate competence group relative to a low competence group. Competence group membership was associated with perceived HIS usefulness. The high competence group consistently expressed the highest usefulness of the HIS and the low competence group the lowest.ConclusionTailored training and support should be provided for nurses with different levels of informatics competence, thereby facilitating their ability to respond to increasingly digitalized work. This could contribute to higher usefulness of the HIS in terms of supporting the nurses' work tasks and promoting the quality of care.ImpactThis was the first study exploring latent profiles of informatics competence in nurses. Insights from this study are useful for nursing management to identify different competence profiles of their employees, provide support and training to meet their needs, and promote the successful use of an HIS.

“…One aim of these systems is to use personal data as a form of motivation to improve one's health through self-reflection, guilt and peer pressure [4]. Soon employers may demand access to their employees' health information and decide on who is trustworthy on the basis of these results [5].…”

Social Network Culture Needs the Lens of Critical Trust Research

Trust is essential to the success of the social networks that are aggregating and applying masses of information about us. In this position paper, we argue that a critical approach to exploring trust and social networks is required; this entails genuinely working in the interests of users and acknowledging the power relations and wider social context of this form of technology that is impacting more and more of our everyday life. Without a critical approach, digital environments may become monopolised by corporate interests.
