Abstract

A qualitative study was carried out among nurses in Iran to determine their perception towards the use of electronic nursing documentation. The research was based on the challenges the nurses faced while using the electronic system of recording patient information. An interview was conducted in a teaching hospital western of Iran among nurses from which a sample of participants was subjectively selected. One of the Computer Assisted, Qualitative Data Analysis system, was employed in analyzing the information that was collected from the selected group of nurses. The primary challenge that was identified among the nurses in the course of utilizing the new system of recording patient information was lack of familiarity. This contributed to the attitudes and perceptions the nurses had towards implementation and use of the electronic system during their practice. Instead of making work easier it made the nurses consume more time keying in the information, more medical errors erupted leading to increased adverse events among patients.
