Knowledge of Hospital Information Management System among Nurses
Subject area: Biological & Medical Sciences · Area of research: Healthcare Technology; Nursing
Abstract
This study aimed to determine the knowledge and challenges nurses encounter in using the Hospital Information Management System in selected hospitals in Eastern Pangasinan. It examined the relationship between nurses? demographic factors and their knowledge of and perceived challenges regarding HIMS. A descriptive research design was employed, with a survey questionnaire as the primary tool for gathering data. The nurse respondents were predominantly young adults, female, unmarried, earning above-average income, holding Bachelor?s degrees, and staff nurses from different areas of the hospital. Most nurses assigned to the emergency room had attended a few trainings and had been in the service for a few years. Nurses generally perceived they had the necessary information about using technology in patient care. However, they encountered challenges, particularly the lack of skills, negative attitudes, and security issues related to its use. Statistical analyses revealed no significant differences or relationships between the nurses? demographic profiles and their knowledge or challenges of implementing the system.
