| Summary: | 碩士 === 長庚大學 === 管理學院碩士學位學程在職專班資訊管理組 === 100 === Widespread use of Internet has made the exchange of various information faster, this in turn facilitates electronic-learning (e-learning) which is overcomes the traditional barrier of time and space. Confidence of self-proficiency is an important factor in the acceptance of e-learning, and this study attempts to understand the attitude towards and aptitude of e-learning among clinical nursing staff.
This study focuses on the nursing staff of one Taipei City regional hospital. Using survey forms approved by the Institutional Review Board, 313 nurses were recruited into the study. Effective sample number was 313 (100%), and the results gathered were analysed with descriptive and projected statistics, and is as follows:
Clinical nurses score themselves an average of 3.47 in overall information technology aptitude (Likert...), and there is a positive correlation with the following factors: age < 29 years, possession of a graduate degree, single marital status, less than five years in nursing experience, and the length of daily computer usage.
Overall e-learning acceptance score is 4.96(using Likert...), subjective usefulness is scored at 4.98, subjective ease-of-use scored 4.94. Being younger than 29 years of age, owning a graduate degree, currently working in family medicine, longer daily use of computers are associated with higher acceptance towards e-learning. A graduate degree and longer daily computer usage are associated with higher subjective digital aptitude. An education of diploma degree or lower, currently working in emergency or intensive care, outpatient, or dialysis unit, are associated with lower acceptance towards e-learning. A graduate education or higher, working in family medicine, and longer daily compute usage are associated with higher acceptance towards e-learning.
In order to establish a digital learning environment, we may need to understand the target audience's age, education level, clinical field of work, length of daily computer usage, and subjective self-aptitude. Then appropriate training and counseling may be given to those who are more likely to encounter obstacles, stressing the usefulness and ease-of-use of the system, so that e-learning is better accepted in the workplace.
