The purposes of this study were to (1) identify school nurses' awareness of information and communication technology (ICT) use in students' health education and (2) explore the barriers or reasons for the adoption of ICT in school nursing practice, while (3) presenting strategies to speed ICT diffusion and dissemination into practice.
For data collection, 209 primary school nurses in K province of Korea were selected and e-mailed the questionnaires. Collected data were analyzed as frequency, percentages, and chi-square tests.
The major reasons to adopt ICT were increasing school nurses' confidence in providing health education and improving teaching methods using diverse multimedia. The major barriers to utilization of ICT were lack of time for preparation of educational materials, lack of software availability, and lack of computer skills of school nurses and students. Several strategies were suggested to speed the diffusion of ICT into students' health education, such as integrating a health education course into regular curriculum.
It is important to identify barriers and reasons for adoption of ICT in school nursing. In addition, strategies should be emphasized that result in more rapid diffusion of these technologies in school nursing practice.
本研究旨在：(1) 确定学校护士对学生健康教育中信息和通信技术 (ICT) 使用的认识；(2) 探讨在学校护理实践中采用 ICT 的障碍或原因；(3) 提出加快 ICT 在实践中扩散和传播的策略。
为了收集数据，在韩国 K 省选择了 209 名小学护士，并通过电子邮件向他们发送了问卷。收集的数据通过频率、百分比和卡方检验进行分析。
采用 ICT 的主要原因是提高学校护士提供健康教育的信心和改善使用多种多媒体的教学方法。利用 ICT 的主要障碍是准备教育材料的时间不足、缺乏可用软件以及学校护士和学生的计算机技能不足。为了加快 ICT 在学生健康教育中的普及，提出了一些策略，例如将健康教育课程纳入常规课程。
确定学校护理中采用 ICT 的障碍和原因很重要。此外，应强调采取策略，使这些技术更迅速地在学校护理实践中得到推广。
