Abstract
• The aim of this study was to compare the attitudes of nurses who had little or no experience of computerized care planning (non-users) with those who had at least two years' experience (users). • The study also assessed levels of computer literacy among both cohorts and the training methods that were considered most appropriate to meet their needs. • The approach was quantitative, using a questionnaire to collect data from 15 non-users and 14 users. • The overall results suggest that both non-users and users had favourable attitudes towards the use of computerized care plans. However, non-users with previous computer experience had more favourable attitudes towards the introduction of computerized care planning than those with no previous experience. • The preferred teaching method identified by both groups was training by technical staff in the clinical area.
