This paper investigates student nurses' perceptions of the impact of using information technology (IT) on teaching and learning critical care nursing. This study was conducted at the Faculty of Nursing, Mansoura University, Egypt. The sample included 163 of fourth year Bachelor of Nursing students enrolled in a critical care nursing course during the first semester of the academic year 2007-2008. The data was collected using a questionnaire sheet that gathered information about student nurses' IT skills and use, perception of the access to and use of IT at Faculty of Nursing, perception of the impact of using IT on teaching and perception, and on the impact of using IT on learning the critical care nursing course. The findings indicate that nursing students had a positive perception on the impact of using IT on teaching and learning the critical care nursing course. Students wanted access to IT at the Faculty, and expressed their need for more training on using Internet and Microsoft PowerPoint, and for IT resources in classrooms.

Care Nursing

In tele–intensive care units, informatics, telecommunication technology, telenursing, and telemedicine are merged to provide expert, evidence-based, and cutting-edge services to critically ill patients. Telenursing is an emerging subspecialty in critical care that is neither well documented in the extant literature nor well understood within the profession. Documentation and quantification of telenursing interventions help to clarify the impact of the telenurse’s role on nursing practice, enhancement of patient care, patient safety, and outcomes. Tele–intensive care unit nursing will continue to transform how critical care nursing is practiced by enhancing/leveraging available resources through the use of technology.

BACKGROUND: In 1997, the AACN Certification Corporation, in conjunction with Professional Examination Service, undertook a role delineation study as 1 component of a large-scale, comprehensive, and systematic study of practice to update previous data. Focus groups made up of practicing critical care nurses were used to determine trends and changes in adult, pediatric, and neonatal critical care nursing practice. METHODS: Sixteen focus groups (6 adult, 5 pediatric, and 5 neonatal) used specially prepared protocols to guide discussions. Questions were designed to elicit descriptions of changes in critical care nursing practice in the preceding 5 years. Qualitative comments of the participants were analyzed across all the focus groups, rather than separately for the adult, pediatric, and neonatal focus groups. Then data for the focus groups for each patient-age range were aggregated and reviewed to abstract themes. RESULTS: Trends and changes in practice for adult, pediatric, and neonatal critical care nurses were determined. Common themes include ethical and legal issues, changes in the population of patients, psychosocial factors, and the impact of managed care. CONCLUSIONS: The results of these focus groups can be used to update the test blueprints that underlie the CCRN certification examination programs for adult, pediatric, and neonatal critical care nurses. Critical care nursing practice is changing. Specific knowledge of the changes is important for educators, managers, and clinicians. The results of this role delineation study can be used to teach, adapt systems, and validate practice.

The utilization of research findings in the practice of critical care nursing is essential to obtain optimal patient outcomes. However, the speed and extent to which new research-based findings are applied to clinical practice falls short of expectations. The authors identify obstacles to the timely utilization of research. Strategies to overcome the obstacles to research-based clinical practice are presented
