In an effort to investigate nurses' perceptions of and attitudes toward the use of electronic medical record (EMR) systems, 904 nurses in a university hospital were surveyed for demographic data and their perceptions of and attitudes toward an EMR system 6 months after its implementation. The questionnaire consisted of demographic information, perception statements relating to the effect of an EMR system, and attitude statements toward an EMR system (assessed on 4-point Likert scales, Cronbach's alpha = 0.979). Nurses' perceptions and attitudes were generally positive and correlated with the type of nursing unit, and their age, years of nursing experience, and job title. This result reinforces that nurses are generally accepting of the implementation of a new EMR system. However, strategies are needed for improving the satisfaction of nurses who have a negative perception of and attitude toward EMR systems. It is recommended that the findings of our study be implemented in other hospitals with ongoing EMR projects.
为了调查护士对使用电子病历（EMR）系统的看法和态度，一所大学医院的904名护士在EMR系统实施6个月后接受了调查，内容包括人口统计学数据以及他们对该系统的看法和态度。问卷包括人口信息、与EMR系统效果相关的看法陈述以及对EMR系统的态度陈述（采用4级李克特量表评估，克隆巴赫α系数 = 0.979）。护士的看法和态度总体上是积极的，并且与护理单元类型、年龄、护理经验年限和职称相关。这一结果强化了护士普遍接受新EMR系统实施的观点。然而，对于那些对EMR系统有负面看法和态度的护士，需要采取策略来提高他们的满意度。建议将我们的研究结果应用于其他正在进行EMR项目的医院。
