Abstract

The aim of this paper is to explore how nursing undergraduates perceive a nursing informatics (NI) course. Between 7 and 14 September 2023, a survey was conducted with 51 nursing undergraduates who enrolled in 2021. A structured and open-ended questionnaire was used to explore their perceptions of the course. A total of 90.2% (46/51) of the students completed the survey. Of the respondents, 69.6% (32/46) were unaware of NI, while 30.4% (14/46) were aware of it. Furthermore, 93.5% (43/46) of the respondents supported the introduction of a nursing informatics course. The results of this study will guide the development of NI curricula.
