Improving technology literacy and skills among minority nursing students.
نویسنده
چکیده
A curriculum that incorporates the American Association of Colleges of Nursing (2008) essentials, the Quality and Safety Education for Nurses guidelines (Cronenwett et al., 2007), and the Technology Informatics Guiding Education Reform initiatives (TIGER Informatics Competencies, 2009) should include formative experiences for students in nursing informatics. The challenge of creating a formative experience, as well as the results of a study revealing technology barriers for ethnic minority students in a nursing program (Loftus & Duty, 2010), energized us to develop a goal: a technology-driven solution to improve technology access and literacy among ethnic minority students in our program.
