Computers and the disabled family member.

Home healthcare nurses work with families that include disabled adults and children. Blind and mobility-impaired clients can learn to use computers to modify their home environment. As a result, the clients' level of disability is decreased. This paper presents a realistic picture of the rewards, problems, and resources associated with the use of a computer as an assistive device.

Selection and development of a critical care bedside computer.

A multidisciplinary approach was used to select a bedside computer in a tertiary medical center's medical intensive care unit. Three committees were formed both by the medical center and the vendor: selection, configuration and implementation. A similar committee structure also existed with the vendor. The sets of committees formed a strong partnership to ensure a state-of-the-art system which would be easy to use and provide nursing staff with more time at the patient's bedside.

Teaching microcomputing to student nurses: an evaluation.

This paper describes an introductory computer course designed for student nurses facing a career in nursing in which computers will play a major part. Questionnaires were given before and after the course. The purpose of the questionnaires were (a) initially to gain information about the students' previous computing experience, motivation and expectations of the course, and (b) to enable an evaluation to be undertaken. The course content, structure and results of the questionnaires are presented; modifications made to the course following the evaluation are mentioned and finally some of the issues which need to be considered when developing a computer course for nurses are raised.

Nurses' attitudes towards computerization: a review of the literature.

It is evident that the increased use of computer technology in health care settings is having an impact on the nursing profession. This paper reviews the literature examining the attitudes of nurses to computerization, concluding that, although computers are being increasingly incorporated into the nurse's working environment, the literature lacks adequate research support of the attitudes held by psychiatric nurses toward computerization. A move toward computerization, as with any innovation, can be greatly facilitated if nurses respond to the change in a positive manner. Accordingly, a greater understanding of psychiatric nurses' attitudes toward computerization could be an integral part of the process of computerization within psychiatric settings.

Sketching the future: trends influencing nursing informatics.

Technologies emerging in the fields of telecommunications, video and digital imaging, and microprocessing are shaping the future of nursing practice. To measure up to the future needs of nursing, nurses of today must have the vision and desire to become computer aware and technologically literate. Hypothetical future situations pose challenges related to current nursing informatics and artificial intelligence issues. Discussion includes technology issues related to the lifetime clinical health record. Areas that the Center for Nursing Research considers priorities for informatics suggest directions for nursing technology efforts. This article calls on all nurses to become active in designing and molding future clinical practice systems.
