A computerized clinical information system (CIS) used for the majority of patient charting and medical records was installed in six of 15 beds in the intensive care unit (ICU) of a large Australian hospital in November 1993. Staff acceptance was identified as integral to the success of the system. A survey was issued to all nursing staff of the ICU to identify factors that affected attitude toward computers in the critical care environment. Factors resulting in negative attitudes then could be targeted through training and support for users. The factors considered that potentially could influence attitudes were age, nursing experience, intensive care nursing experience, and education. The study showed that nursing experience had a statistically significant effect on motivation to use computers. A strong relation was evident between the concepts of beliefs, attitudes, and motivation. A less apparent association was present between knowledge and the other concepts. Orientation and in-service education programs should provide appropriate and applied information to optimize the motivation, beliefs, and computer literacy of nurses using CIS frameworks.
