The use of computerized technologies as an integral part of nursing has become a reality in the health care system. Studies present different approaches that range from accepting technology as a health promoter to an approach that opposes computerization. This study, which examined social and instrumental processes that influence nurses’ attitudes toward computer technology, will present a model for the optimal assimilation of computer technology in the nurses’ work environment. The study, which included 224 participants, was designed as a mixed method and included questionnaires and semi-structured interviews of participants. The data were analyzed to understand the factors that influenced nurses’ attitudes toward the use of computer technology. The research findings show that the more clearly nurses understand the positive impact of using technology on the quality of care, the more positive their response to changes in registration and reporting methods. It is not surprising that the research findings found that cognitive instrumental processes and social influence processes have a positive effect on the perceived usefulness of using computer technologies. The unusual finding was the fact that cognitive instrumental processes were the main factor influencing the assimilation of computer technology even though nursing is a social profession.

The purpose of the study was to examine nurses’ perceptions regarding the usage of computerized technology and to understand the meaning of this technological change in nurses’ work in the context of sustainability. The study was designed as a mixed method and included the following research tools: questionnaires for data collection that were sent via email and semi-structured interviews of nurses, chosen voluntarily and randomly. The data were collected from 214 questionnaires in total, using technology acceptance model questionnaires, and the professional self-identity questionnaire (PSIQ). Moreover, data was collected from 10 in-depth interviews. Subsequently, the data was analyzed to understand the influence of personal, professional, and social factors concerning the usage of computer technology in nursing. The study was undertaken within the understanding that the participation of nurses is essential for the creation of sustainable developments, such as the use of computer technology, eventually leading to an improvement in the quality of care and the health of the community. Years of seniority in nursing, ease of use of technology, technology relevant to the job, and higher output quality, were associated with the most perceived benefits of using technology in a positive correlation. Relative to nurses’ sense of professionalism, there is an understanding that adopting new behavioral functions for their role will lead to promoting the quality of care and improving the health of the community. From the perspective of global sustainability, there is a need to develop methods involving multi-professional teamwork to implement computerized technologies within the country and between countries to improve sustainable conditions in the world.
