Nursing students are required to be adequately prepared to use Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) in clinical practice. Yet, studies conducted worldwide indicate personal, organizational, and social barriers reported by students and a discrepancy between clinical resources and students' needs.
To explore nursing students' usage of ICT during clinical placement and the associations between students' ICT acceptance, human and organizational resources, and ICT usage.
Data were collected from 303 second and third year Israeli nursing students, through a self-administered structured questionnaire.
The use of Medical Health Records during clinical placements was rated highest (M = 4.62, SD = 0.74, range 1-5), whereas the use of e-Books was rated lowest (M = 2.26, SD = 1.37, range 1-5). Positive correlations were found between ICT use and human resources, social influence, organizational resources, and performance expectancy. Significant differences were found according to study years and proficiency in computer skills between students. Perceived human resources, cultural group, Hebrew proficiency, and social influence explained 28% of students' variance in ICT usage.
Nurse administrators and educators should promote the preparation of clinical settings in accordance with students' needs and proficiencies. Moreover, the development of curricula and clinical practicums must also take into account the role of organizational, social, and computer proficiency in students' ICT adoption.
护理学生需要充分准备在临床实践中使用信息和通信技术（ICT）。然而，世界各地的研究表明，学生报告了个人、组织和社会障碍，以及临床资源与学生需求之间存在差距。
探索护理学生在临床实习期间使用 ICT 的情况，以及学生对 ICT 的接受程度、人力和组织资源与 ICT 使用之间的关联。
通过自填式结构化问卷，对 303 名以色列护理专业的二、三年级学生进行了数据收集。
在临床实习中使用医疗记录的评分最高（M=4.62，SD=0.74，范围 1-5），而使用电子书籍的评分最低（M=2.26，SD=1.37，范围 1-5）。ICT 使用与人力资源、社会影响、组织资源和绩效预期之间存在正相关关系。根据学习年限和计算机技能熟练程度，学生之间存在显著差异。感知人力资源、文化群体、希伯来语熟练程度和社会影响解释了学生在 ICT 使用方面 28%的差异。
护理管理人员和教育者应根据学生的需求和能力来准备临床环境。此外，课程和临床实习的制定也必须考虑到组织、社会和计算机熟练程度在学生采用 ICT 方面的作用。
