Barriers which impede the development of knowledge and skills in e\u2011health within a nursing curriculum are also explored.<br \/>\nDesign: The study design was a cross\u2011sectional survey questionnaire. A questionnaire focusing on the attitudes and perceptions of nursing students toward e\u2011health was distributed to 60 second year nursing students at a university nursing school in Queensland, Australia.<br \/>\nSetting: A tertiary education centre for nurses.<br \/>\nSubjects: Second year undergraduate nursing students.<br \/>\nResults: 77% (43) respondents admitted they were not familiar with the term e\u2011health. 82% (46) rated their knowledge of e\u2011health technologies as minimal. 87% (49) admitted they never had e\u2011health education in any form. Over 50% (34) of all respondents said they were not sure if e\u2011health has any relevance to their future practice. 82% respondents rated their computer skills as advanced or intermediate; while 39% (22) responded the main barrier for them to improve their knowledge and skills in e\u2011health is lack of systematic education and training.<br \/>\nConclusions: Despite the fact that the majority of respondents regularly used computers and the internet in their day to day activities and nursing education, their awareness and knowledge with regard to e\u2011healthcare was very limited. In order for nurses to be equipped with the skills required to facilitate e\u2011healthcare applications there is a need for undergraduate students to be provided with formal e\u2011healthcare training.<\/p>\n<h2>Authors<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Sisira Edirippulige<\/li>\n<li>Anthony Smith<\/li>\n<li>Heather Beattie<\/li>\n<li>Elizabeth Davies<\/li>\n<li>Richard Wootton<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Keywords<\/h2>\n<p>e-health, nursing informatics, nursing education, curriculum development<\/p>\n<h2>References<\/h2>\n<p>References not available for this article.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This article was originally published as: Pre\u2011registration nurses: an investigation of knowledge, experience and comprehension of e\u2011health Original Article Link:&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":21,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[124],"tags":[4688,5166,3966,4204],"class_list":["post-7781","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-articles","tag-curriculum-development","tag-e-health","tag-nursing-education","tag-nursing-informatics","wpcat-124-id"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.8 -
