This study aimed to evaluate the knowledge, attitudes, and acceptance of Electronic Health Records (EHRs) among nurses in Egypt.
A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted involving 1217 nurses from 33 public and private hospitals. Data were collected using a self-administered online questionnaire, which assessed knowledge, attitudes, and acceptance of EHRs. The data were analyzed using Spearman's rank correlation and binary logistic regression.
Significant positive correlations were identified between nurses' knowledge and attitudes towards EHRs (r = 0.72, p < 0.001), knowledge and acceptance (r = 0.67, p < 0.001), and attitudes and acceptance (r = 0.79, p < 0.001). Key predictors of EHR acceptance included higher education (postgraduate) (p = 0.004), good computer skills (p < 0.001), satisfactory knowledge (p < 0.001), and positive attitudes (p < 0.001).
Nurses' knowledge and attitudes play a crucial role in their acceptance of EHRs. These findings underscore the importance of targeted education and skill development programs to support the effective implementation of EHR systems in Egyptian healthcare settings.
Healthcare leaders and policymakers must champion the adoption of EHRs by creating policies that support their implementation. Creating a supportive environment that encourages the use of EHRs can significantly enhance their acceptance.
本研究旨在评估埃及护士对电子健康记录（EHRs）的知识、态度和接受程度。
进行了一项描述性横断面研究，涉及来自33家公立和私立医院的1217名护士。使用自行填写的在线问卷收集数据，该问卷评估了对EHRs的知识、态度和接受程度。使用Spearman等级相关性和二元逻辑回归分析数据。
护士对EHRs的知识与态度之间存在显著正相关（r = 0.72，p < 0.001），知识与接受程度之间存在显著正相关（r = 0.67，p < 0.001），态度与接受程度之间存在显著正相关（r = 0.79，p < 0.001）。EHR接受程度的关键预测因素包括高等教育（研究生）（p = 0.004）、良好的计算机技能（p < 0.001）、满意的知识水平（p < 0.001）和积极的态度（p < 0.001）。
护士的知识和态度在其对EHRs的接受程度中起着关键作用。这些发现强调了有针对性的教育和技能发展计划对于支持埃及医疗环境中EHR系统有效实施的重要性。
医疗保健领导者和政策制定者必须通过制定支持其实施的政策来倡导采用EHRs。营造一个鼓励使用EHRs的支持性环境可以显著提高其接受程度。
