Personal digital assistants, technology with various functions, have been applied in international clinical practice. Great benefits in reducing medical errors and enhancing the efficiency of clinical work have been achieved, but little research has investigated nurses' satisfaction with the use of personal digital assistants.
To investigate nurses' satisfaction with use of personal digital assistants, and to explore the predictors of this.
This is a cross-sectional descriptive study.
We conducted a cross-sectional survey targeting nurses who used personal digital assistants in a comprehensive tertiary hospital in Beijing.
A total of 383 nurses were recruited in this survey in 2015. The total score of nurses' satisfaction with use of personal digital assistants was 238.91 (SD 39.25). Nurses were less satisfied with the function of documentation, compared with the function of administering medical orders. The time length of using personal digital assistants, academic degree, and different departments predicted nurses' satisfaction towards personal digital assistant use (all P < 0.05).
Nurses were satisfied with the accuracy of administering medical orders and the safety of recording data. The stability of the wireless network and efficiency related to nursing work were less promising. To some extent, nurses with higher education and longer working time with personal digital assistants were more satisfied with them.
个人数字助理，一种具备多种功能的技术，已应用于国际临床实践。在减少医疗差错和提高临床工作效率方面已取得巨大益处，但很少有研究调查护士对使用个人数字助理的满意度。
调查护士对使用个人数字助理的满意度，并探索其预测因素。
这是一项横断面描述性研究。
我们针对在北京一家综合性三级医院使用个人数字助理的护士进行了横断面调查。
2015年本次调查共招募了383名护士。护士对使用个人数字助理的满意度总分是238.91（标准差39.25）。与执行医嘱功能相比，护士对记录功能的满意度较低。使用个人数字助理的时长、学历以及不同科室可预测护士对使用个人数字助理的满意度（均P<0.05）。
护士对执行医嘱的准确性和数据记录的安全性感到满意。无线网络的稳定性以及与护理工作相关的效率不太理想。在一定程度上，学历较高且使用个人数字助理工作时间较长的护士对其更满意。
