Study on Nursing Informatics Education with Local Area Network for Student

本研究旨在调查护生信息处理与护理信息化课程现状，重新思考护生基础护理信息化教育的指导思想和框架，并在此基础上开发基于局域网的护理信息化教育系统。结果如下：1.1996年，以243名护生和130名护士为调查对象，采用问卷调查法，调查护生的信息处理知识和技能水平及护理信息化教育意识。建议在毕业前有效学习基础护理信息学需要超过45小时。许多护士认为互联网和护理信息学在护理实践中是有用的。2.作为试点研究，开发了一个简单的网络教育系统。该系统由1台服务器端个人计算机和5台便携式无线通信终端组成。向护生讲授该系统中局域网服务的工作原理和使用方法。本课结束后，进行了问卷调查。1997年，在全国范围内对护生信息学课程设置、师资队伍、设备设置、课程设置等进行了调查。研究对象是日本的1094所护理学校。本次调查显示，45%的学校为护生提供了信息学课程，12%的学校配备了计算机网络系统，并在此基础上提出了基础护理信息学的示范计划和学校课程设置。

The purpose of this study was to investigate the current situation of the curriculum for nursing students with respect to information processing and nursing informatic, to reconsider a guideline and a framework of basic nursing informatics education for students, and to develop an educational system with Local Area Network based on these findings.The results were follows :1.In 1996,243 nursing students and 130 nurses chosen as the informants, were inquired their level of information processing knowledge and techniqui, and their consciousness of nursing informatics education by questionnaires. It was suggested that more than 45 hours would be needed to study basic nursing informatics effectively before graduation. Many nurses thought that the Internet and nursing informatics were useful for nursing practice.2.As a pilot study, a simple network system of education was developed. The system consisted of one personal computer for server and 5 potable terminals with wireless communication. Nursing students were taught the mechanism and how to use services ofLAN in this system. After this lesson, a questionnaire survey was conducted. As a result, it was found that this simple network system was useful for basic nursing informatics education.3.In 1997, a nation-wide survey carried out on the courseworks, teaching faculties, equipments, and programs of informatics for nursing students. The subjects were 1,094 nursing schools in Japan. This survey revealed that 45% of the schools with response provided the nursing students with the courseworks of informatics and 12% of the schools had their computer network systems.Based on these findings, model plans for basic nursing informatics and school curriculum were proposed.
