Abstract

In this study an attempt was made to analyze the attitudes of both nurses and Nursing students in relation to computer use. Demographic data and attitudinal scaling were used. Three factors were found for nurses: obstacles to computer use; the computer as a work tool; the effectiveness of information to Nursing. As to Nursing students, in addition to these three factors, another one was also found: the need for educational training in computer technology applied to Nursing. Nurses' and students' attitudes were similar. It was, therefore, concluded that both groups have moderate attitudes concerning computer use, although the students showed more familiarity.
