提升護理競爭力－－淺談護理系學生應具備之資訊素養

Promoting Nursing Competitiveness--Introduction of Nursing Students’ Informatics Literacy

隨著資訊時代來臨，知識及技術一日千里，護理專業也不例外，透過資訊科技導入，發展建置與醫護相關之系統設備不勝枚舉，藉以取得即時正確訊息、保障病人安全及協助解決臨床問題，進而達到提升護理照護成效目標。面臨國內醫療機構已大幅應用網路資訊科技輔助護理實務，資訊素養無疑是護理系學生提升自我護理競爭力需具備的重要能力之一，然而此議題國內目前相關討論仍不多，但瞭解護理系學生應具備哪些資訊素養有其必要性。故本文藉由分析近幾年國內外文獻內容包含資訊素養的內涵與定義、護理人員與學生資訊素養相關研究議題及護理資訊教育等，整體歸納護理系學生應具備的資訊素養能力涵蓋：電腦軟硬體與網路概念、資訊安全知識、電腦軟硬體與網路使用能力，及面對資訊科技的態度四個範疇。文獻整理亦發現國內護理資訊教育課程與訓練發展仍以基本電腦概論為主，因此本文建議應從課程面著手，針對不同的學生特質與需求，規劃合適的資訊知識與技能相關課程及訓練方式，且除了培養資訊知識與技能外，也應一併重視資訊態度的養成，以俾學生於使用各項資訊資源時，能有遵守倫理法律，尊重個人隱私及保密等正確觀念。期望藉由本篇內容可提供做為護理學校規劃與設計資訊教育課程，強化學生資訊素養能力之參考。

In the era of information, the progress of knowledge and technology in nursing specialty and practice is proceeding at a tremendous pace. Information technology is commonly used as a strategy to develop and construct nursing information system to enhance nursing quality and efficiency. Many healthcare facilities use information technology to assist nursing practice, and there are only few studies regarding informatics literacy competency, so it is necessary to explore what kinds of information literacy that nursing students should possess. Therefore, based on the literature review, this paper classifies the required informatics literacy competencies for nursing students into four categories: concept of computer software/hardware/network, information safety knowledge, competency on using computer software/hardware/network, and ability of using information technology. The paper suggests that students’ characteristics and requirements should be considered to propose training programs of informatics knowledge and skills in curriculum design process. It is also important to cultivate positive informatics attitude for students toward the ethics, law, privacy, and confidentiality issues. It is hoped that this paper could serve as a reference for nursing schools to promote information literacy of students by designing and developing the informatics courses.
