The Correlation Between Attitudes Towards Health Technologies and Professional Self‐Efficacy in Intensive Care Nurses: A Cross‐Sectional Study
Abstract
ABSTRACT Aim The aim of this study is to determine the attitudes of intensive care nurses towards health technologies and their attitudes’ correlation with their professional self‐efficacy. Background As the impact of digital technology in the field of health is rapidly increasing, intensive care units have become highly technologically advanced. Methods A total of 90 nurses participated in this study. The data were gathered by using a Personal Information Form, the Health Personnel Health Technologies Assessment Attitude Scale (HPHTAAS) and the Nursing Profession Self‐Efficacy Scale (NPSES). The data were analysed using linear regression analysis, ANOVA and t‐test. Results The findings of the study revealed that the HPHTAAS mean score of the intensive care nurses was 97.01 ± 9.23, and their NPSES mean score was 70.40 ± 6.29. The attitudes of the intensive care nurses towards health technologies and their professional self‐efficacy were significantly and positively correlated (p < 0.001). In addition, attitudes towards health technologies accounted for 24.9% of the variance of professional self‐efficacy. Conclusions Intensive care nurses’ attitudes towards health technologies and professional self‐efficacy scores were above average. Implications for nursing and health policy The evaluation of the effect of health technologies on nurses’ self‐efficacy can offer significant information to understand the process of their adaptation to technology and the effectiveness of health…
