Nursing Student's Experience with Electronic Nursing Assessment Form: A Phenomenology Study
Abstract
The transition to the digital era also occurs in the health sector. This transition requires adaptation and learning starting from school, such as using electronic medical records. This study aimed to determine the experience of nursing students at Hang Tuah University Pekanbaru using the electronic assessment format. This research uses a phenomenological study approach. Participants used the electronic nursing assessment form (ENAF) which is still being develop by the research team. This study used a consecutive sampling technique that involved 33 nursing students who did clinical practice for the basic nursing skills course. Focus group discussion (FGD) was used to collect the data, it was divided into three groups. The data were analyzed using content analysis. There were two main themes with 7 sub-themes. The themes are dimensions of ENAF and future improvement. Mostly, participants agreed to use ENAF because it was considered more efficient and economical. In addition, the data is also safer without the fear of paper damage. The display of documentation results is also clean, and easier to analyze patients’ problems. Based on participants’ experience using ENAF, there are several obstacles such as forgetting to save the results of the assessments and technical problems when using ENAF on mobile phones. All participants agreed with using ENAF because ENAF is more practical and cheaper than using a paper-based assessment form. Nursing students should be prepared with the ability to use electronic health records so they can adapt to the digital era, especially in the documentation system.
