The main purpose of this study was to identify nurses' requirements for information technology in the next millennium. We distributed 350 questionnaires in a teaching hospital in Brazil and in the USA. We received 86 from Brazil and 78 from USA. Besides the capabilities of computers to be used in different sectors of human actions, nurses' requirements for information technology can not be considered sophisticated. Nurses in Brazil prefer a standalone system. In contrast, in USA they prefer systems that could be integrated to the whole healthcare system. Also, in the USA, nurses were more comfortable with use of computers than nurses in Brazil. In general terms, nurses in both countries feel that computer systems could make their practice easier and more efficient.
本研究的主要目的是确定护士对下一个千年信息技术的需求。我们在巴西和美国的一家教学医院发放了350份问卷。我们收到了来自巴西的86份和来自美国的78份。除了计算机在人类活动不同领域的应用能力外，护士对信息技术的需求并不复杂。巴西的护士更喜欢独立系统。相比之下，在美国，他们更喜欢能够集成到整个医疗系统的系统。此外，在美国，护士比巴西的护士更适应使用计算机。总体而言，两国的护士都认为计算机系统可以使他们的工作更轻松、更高效。
