Digitally dedicated nurses: a nationwide cross-sectional study of associated career and digital factors in the workplace

Digital dedication among nurses in Finland appears to be modest. Ensuring ongoing EHR training that addresses late career nurses' needs is crucial; it can elevate their dedication to early career levels. Regular team discussions on technology use could enable managers to foster greater staff dedication. When invested in systems that genuinely support tasks, greater technology use can also improve dedication. Promoting digital dedication in nursing is important, as it could enable new roles in digital and remote work, particularly benefitting those for whom traditional roles have become too physically demanding.

Abstract

Digital dedication among nurses in Finland appears to be modest. Ensuring ongoing EHR training that addresses late career nurses' needs is crucial; it can elevate their dedication to early career levels. Regular team discussions on technology use could enable managers to foster greater staff dedication. When invested in systems that genuinely support tasks, greater technology use can also improve dedication. Promoting digital dedication in nursing is important, as it could enable new roles in digital and remote work, particularly benefitting those for whom traditional roles have become too physically demanding.
