Purpose The purpose of this study was to investigate the perceptions of speech-language pathologists (SLPs) regarding their academic preparation and current confidence levels for providing dysphagia services, and the relationship between their perceptions of graduate school preparation and their current levels of confidence. Method This study utilized an online survey to gather information from 374 American Speech-Language-Hearing Association–certified SLPs who currently provide dysphagia services in the United States. Surveys were primarily distributed through American Speech-Language-Hearing Association Special Interest Group forums and Facebook groups. The anonymous survey gathered information regarding SLPs' perceptions of academic preparation and current confidence levels for providing dysphagia services in 11 knowledge and skill areas. Results Findings indicated that more than half of respondents did not feel prepared following their graduate academic training in five of the 11 knowledge and skill areas related to dysphagia service delivery. However, about half of respondents indicated they were currently confident about their ability to provide services in eight of the 11 knowledge and skill areas. Findings also indicated that their current confidence levels to provide dysphagia services were significantly higher than their perceptions of preparation immediately following graduate school. However, no significant relationships were found between respondents' self-reported current confidence levels and their perceptions of the adequacy of their academic preparation. Conclusions Despite SLPs' low perceptions of the adequacy of their graduate preparation for providing dysphagia services in specific knowledge and skill areas immediately following graduation, they reported high confidence levels with respect to their actual service delivery. Implications of these findings are discussed.

Integrasi Teknologi Informasi (TI) di bidang kesehatan terbukti meningkatkan kualitas pelayanan kesehatan dengan meningkatkan patient safety serta mempercepat waktu layanan. Salah satu inovasi TI di bidang kesehatan yaitu rekam medik elektronik (electronic health record). Rekam medik jenis ini sudah umum digunakan di negara maju namun masih jarang digunakan di negara berkembang termasuk Indonesia. Sebelum pengimplementasian suatu sistem informasi baru di pelayanan kesehatan, perlu dipastikan bahwa user dapat mengoperasikannya dengan baik sehingga hasil dari sistem tersebut optimal. Perawat sebagai tenaga kesehatan dengan jumlah paling banyak di suatu pelayanan kesehatan seperti Rumah Sakit merupakan user terbesar bila rekam medik elektronik ini diterapkan.  Oleh karena itu diperlukan suatu alat untuk mengukur kemampuan atau literasi sistem informasi keperawatan (SIK). Salah satu alat ukur kompetensi SIK yaitu NICAT (Nursing Informatics Competency Assessment Tool) yang memiliki 3 bagian serta 30 item pertanyaan. Penulis melakukan alih bahasa pada kuesioner ini, kemudian melakukan uji validitas dan reliabilitas. Jumlah sampel pada penelitian ini yaitu 233 perawat di salah satu Rumah Sakit Pemerintah di Pekanbaru, Indonesia. Hasil uji validitas pada 30 item dengan r tabel 0.128 menunjukkan r hitung diatas nilai tersebut dengan Cronbach’s Alpha 0,975. Dapat disimpulkan kuesioner pengukuran kemampuan SIK (NICAT versi Bahasa Indonesia) telah valid dan reliabel sehingga dapat digunakan mengukur kemampuan SIK perawat Indonesia.

BACKGROUND The rapid development of health information technology has an increasingly significant impact on nursing work. The development of informatization also puts forward higher requirements for nurses under standardized training (NUST). Informatics knowledge and skills are essential if clinicians are to master the large volume of information generated in healthcare today. Nurses with competent nursing informatics competencies (NIC) will be able to better adapt to the needs of work and the development of the times. OBJECTIVE This study aimed to explore, analyze, and discuss the current situation of NIC of NUST in China, and analyze the influencing factors, to provide references for improving the NIC of NUST. METHODS We conducted a cross-sectional survey of standard training nurses' NIC in a tertiary hospital in Sichuan Province, China, with convenience sampling. The study consists of two parts included socio-demographic characteristics and NIC, a self-designed general information questionnaire, and a Self-Assessment Nursing Informatics Competency Scale-SF28 were used as survey tools. An online survey collected the data, and the scores of nurses' NIC were analyzed, and the factors were determined by linear regression statistical analysis. RESULTS Overall 191 target population responded to the questionnaire, including 22 males (11.52%) and 169 females (88.48%), the age range was 21 to 28 years, the average age was 24.64 (SD 1.43). 53 persons without computer level certificate (27.75%), 138 persons with computer level certificate (72.25%), the total score of Self-Assessment Nursing Informatics Competency Scale was 68.65 (SD 10.47), the scores of each dimension were role of clinical information 10.12 (SD 2.17), basic computer knowledge and skills 26.64 (SD 4.96), application ability of computer skills 7.16 (SD 1.82), wireless equipment skills 8.02 (SD 2.04), nursing information attitude 16.73 (SD 3.25). In the analysis of influencing factors of NIC, “whether learned professional knowledge through the internet” is the influencing factor of NIC (P< .05). CONCLUSIONS The clinical nursing informatics (NC) of nurses was at a medium level, mainly influenced by “whether learned professional knowledge through the internet.” In the future regulation process, it is necessary to strengthen further the capacity training of information to improve their clinical information decision-making ability and better serve patients.
