Sažetak
The efficiency and effectiveness of work in the field of nursing depends largely on the correct use of information and communication technology in identifying, finding, processing, storing and communicating essential information. The subject of this paper is computer and information literacy in the field of nursing, since the issue being studied is to what extent are nurses computer- literate as well as information- literate. The purpose of the paper is to provide an overview of the state of play in relation to the computer and information literacy of nurses working in the Republic of Croatia. The hypotheses being researched are the following: i) computer and information literacy helps nurses in improving the quality of healthcare by shortening the time spent doing administrative work ; and the second hypothesis: ii) in order to increase the level of computer and information literacy of nurses, it is necessary to introduce new content into the existing nursing curriculum and to ensure lifelong learning. The confirmation of the hypotheses has been achieved by: a study of available literature, curriculum analysis, observation and measurement, analysis of surveys related to standards of computer and information literacy in nursing and analysis of surveys related to self-assessment of computer and information literacy of nurses. The paper itself consists of an introduction, with a short overview of the field as well as the explanation of the basic terms, followed by a presentation of the survey results. The final conclusions relating to computer and information literacy are drawn at the end of paper.
