Due to the increasing use of informatics as an infrastructure in developing the quality of care and patient safety, informatics competency has become a crucial requirement for nurses.
This study was conducted to assess nursing informatics competency, and identify related factors in registered nurses.
This research is an analytical descriptive study in which the research community included 205 nurses working at Tabriz University of Medical Sciences' hospitals. The researcher-made questionnaire was developed as a data collection tool (α = 98%). The data was entered into SPSS software and correlation analysis and regression were carried out.
The mean score percentage of total nursing informatics competency was 59.92%. The highest mean score was related to informatics skills (62.98), followed by the informatics knowledge subscale (59%). In addition, informatics competency was positively correlated with self-efficacy ( = 0.27, = 0.001), evidence-based practice ( = 0.55, = 0.001) and time spent on hospital information systems ( = 0.16, = 0.01).
Computer skills, self-efficacy, evidence-based practice and time spent on hospital information systems are determinant factors of nurses' informatics competency. Developing nurses' basic computer skills and incorporating informatics education programmes into the curriculum can enhance nurses' informatics competency.
由于信息学在提高护理质量和患者安全方面作为一种基础设施的使用日益增加，信息学能力已成为护士的一项关键要求。
本研究旨在评估注册护士的护理信息学能力，并确定相关因素。
本研究为分析性描述性研究，研究群体包括在大不里士医科大学医院工作的205名护士。研究者编制的问卷被开发为一种数据收集工具（α = 98%）。数据录入SPSS软件并进行相关分析和回归分析。
护理信息学总能力的平均得分百分比为59.92%。最高平均得分与信息学技能（62.98）相关，其次是信息学知识子量表（59%）。此外，信息学能力与自我效能感（r = 0.27，p = 0.001）、循证实践（r = 0.55，p = 0.001）以及在医院信息系统上花费的时间（r = 0.16，p = 0.01）呈正相关。
计算机技能、自我效能感、循证实践以及在医院信息系统上花费的时间是护士信息学能力的决定因素。培养护士的基本计算机技能并将信息学教育项目纳入课程可以提高护士的信息学能力。
