Perceived ease of use and usefulness of bedside-computer systems.

Abstract

Many new technologies are being developed to improve the efficiency and productivity of nursing staff. A key to the success of these technologies is acceptance by nurses. Davis' constructs of perceived ease of use and perceived usefulness were developed to measure the acceptance of computer systems. This article presents a discussion on nursing acceptance of computer systems, reviews the development of the perceived ease of use and perceived usefulness measures, and reports findings of a study based on these constructs along with attitude of bedside-computer systems. Results of the study showed that nurses in general are accepting of bedside-computer technology.
