Abstract
Numerous studies have examined nurses' attitudes toward computers in healthcare. None has investigated the influence of nurses' knowledge of computers on their attitudes. The study examined the influence of an instructional program designed to prepare nurses to use a clinical information system. Nurses' knowledge level and attitudes toward clinical systems were measured prior to and immediately after the course. Demographic and background information was collected at the time of the pretest. Program evaluation was conducted at the time of the post test. Participants completed the third and final surveys for knowledge and attitudes four to six weeks after attending the course.
