This paper outlines preliminary research of an innovative software program that enables the use of an electronic health record in a nursing education curriculum. The software application program is called EHRNE, which stands for Electronic Heath Record for Nursing Education. The aim of EHRNE is to enhance student's learning of health informatics when they are working in the simulation laboratory. Integrating EHRNE into the nursing curriculum exposes students to electronic health records before they go into the workplace. A qualitative study was conducted using focus group interviews of nine nursing students. Nursing students' perceptions of using the EHRNE application were explored. The interviews were audio-taped and transcribed verbatim. The data was analyzed following the Colaizzi (1978) guideline. Four main categories that related to the EHRNE application were identified from the interviews: functionality, data management, timing and complexity, and accessibility. The analysis of the data revealed advantages and limitations of using EHRNE in the classroom setting. Integrating the EHRNE program into the curriculum will promote students' awareness of electronic documentation and enhance students' learning in the simulation laboratory. Preliminary findings suggested that before integrating the EHRNE program into the nursing curriculum, educational sessions for both students and faculty outlining the software's purpose, advantages, and limitations were needed. Following the educational sessions, further investigation of students' perceptions and learning using the EHRNE program is recommended.
本文概述了一项关于创新软件程序的初步研究，该程序可在护理教育课程中使用电子健康记录。该软件应用程序名为EHRNE，即护理教育电子健康记录。EHRNE的目的是在学生于模拟实验室工作时增强他们对健康信息学的学习。将EHRNE整合到护理课程中，能让学生在进入工作场所之前接触到电子健康记录。通过对九名护理专业学生进行焦点小组访谈开展了一项定性研究，探讨了护理专业学生对使用EHRNE应用程序的看法。访谈进行了录音并逐字转录。数据按照科莱齐（1978年）的指导方针进行分析。从访谈中确定了与EHRNE应用程序相关的四个主要类别：功能、数据管理、时间安排与复杂性以及可及性。数据分析揭示了在课堂环境中使用EHRNE的优点和局限性。将EHRNE程序整合到课程中将提高学生对电子文档的认识，并增强学生在模拟实验室中的学习效果。初步研究结果表明，在将EHRNE程序整合到护理课程之前，需要为学生和教师开展教育课程，概述该软件的目的、优点和局限性。在教育课程之后，建议进一步调查学生对使用EHRNE程序的看法和学习情况。
