Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the attitudes and affecting factors of surgical nurses towards health information technology usage. Material and Methods: This descriptive cross-sectional study was carried out with a total of 250 nurses working in surgical units. In this study, as a result of the literature review, the ''personal information form'' created by the researcher and the ''Healthcare Technology Assessment Attitude Scale of Health Personnel Scale (HTAASHPS)'' were used. Results: 87.2% of nurses participated to study were female and 12.8% of them were male. Sixty percent (60%) of participants worked at the university hospital and 40% of participants worked at the state hospital. The mean total HTAASHPS score of nurses was determined as 4.06±0.41. The mean values of ''scope'', ''awareness'' and ''benefit'' dimensions of scale were detected as 4.11±0.60; 4.23±0.52 and 3.94±0.44, respectively. The total HTAASHPS score of male nurses was higher than female nurses (p<0.05). The total HTAASHPS score of nurses working at the state hospital was significantly higher than nurses working at the university hospital (p<0.05). The total HTAASHPS scores of nurses with occupational experience of 1-5 years and 5-10 years were also significantly higher than nurses with occupational experience over 10 years. Conclusion: In this study, the main demographic factors affecting the nurses' attitudes positively were detected as; being male, working at the state hospital, and having less occupational experience. It is thought that the data obtained from this study will contribute to the improved strategies that will increase the compliance of surgical nurses with health information technology.

Amaç: Bu çalışmada, cerrahi hemşirelerinin sağlık bilgi teknolojisine yönelik tutumlarının ve etkileyen faktörlerin değerlendirilmesi amaçlandı. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Tanımlayıcı kesitsel tipteki bu çalışma, cerrahi birimlerde çalışan toplam 250 hemşire ile gerçekleştirildi. Çalışma için literatür taraması sonucu araştırmacı tarafından oluşturulan ''kişisel bilgi formu'' ve ''Sağlık Personeli Sağlık Teknolojileri Değerlendirme Tutum Ölçeği (SPSTDTÖ)'' kullanıldı. Bulgular: Çalışmaya katılan hemşirelerin %87,2'si kadın, %12,8'i ise erkek idi. Katılımcıların %60'ı üniversite hastanesinde, %40'ı ise devlet hastanesinde çalışıyordu. Hemşirelerin ortalama toplam SPSTDTÖ puanı 4,06±0,41 olarak belirlendi. Ölçeğin ''kapsam'', ''farkındalık'' ve ''fayda'' boyutlarının ortalama değerleri sırasıyla 4,11±0,60; 4,23±0,52 ve 3,94±0,44 olarak saptandı. Erkek hemşirelerin toplam SPSTDTÖ puanı, kadın hemşirelere kıyasla daha yüksekti (p<0,05). Devlet hastanesinde çalışan hemşirelerin toplam SPSTDTÖ puanı, üniversite hastanesinde çalışanlara kıyasla daha yüksek bulundu (p<0,05). Meslek tecrübesi ''1-5 yıl'' ve ''5-10 yıl'' olan hemşirelerin toplam SPSTDTÖ puanı, meslek tecrübesi 10 yıldan fazla olan hemşirelere kıyasla anlamlı düzeyde daha yüksek idi (p<0,05). Sonuç: Bu çalışmada, cerrahi hemşirelerinin tutumlarını olumlu etkileyen başlıca demografik faktörler; erkek olma, devlet hastanesinde çalışma ve daha az mesleki tecrübeye sahip olma olarak belirlendi. Bu çalışmadan elde edilen verilerin, cerrahi hemşirelerinin sağlık bilgi teknolojilerine uyumunu artıracak stratejilerin geliştirilmesine katkı sağlayacağı düşünülmektedir.
