This study is one of the few studies that examined the perspectives and expectations of Saudi Ariba patients regarding ePHRs. Participants expressed a greater interest in ePHRs than participants in other studies in developed countries. The majority of participants would like to use ePHRs at least once per month. Moreover, respondents believe that ePHRs help access images and blood test results, and information about the devices they use to track their health. For example, the blood glucose checkers. The study also pointed out that ePHRs are perceived as valuable to patients' health. However, some patients expressed concerns regarding the security of their online records. However, the vast majority of patients viewed ePHRs as enhancing patient privacy. The individuals desire access to information about their health contained within their ePHRs, including medication lists, doctor lists, medical conditions, and surgical histories. The respondents indicated that they are currently performing some tasks electronically, such as requesting appointments, reports, and medication refills, and referring patients through ePHRs, at an acceptable rate of 42.1%. Further research is needed to assess the quality of data entered, validity, and accuracy of the ePHR.
Electronic health is a solution for many issues. This study aims to determine the acceptance level of telepsychology and telepsychiatry services their advantages and disadvantages. The researchers carried out a cross-sectional study. Results indicate that only 13.3% of respondents visited a psychiatrist or psychologist. The majority views telepsychiatry and psychological services as beneficial tools that enhance privacy. According to the survey, 223 respondents believe they have a psychological problem. The most common disorders are general anxiety, social anxiety, and depression. Most of their families accept mental health treatment, and four respondents lack access to electronic devices and the Internet. The security and privacy of patient's information should be investigated further in telepsychology and telepsychiatry. Our research may influence decision-makers to invest in this area for the benefit of society.
Curriculum evaluation is critical to identify the weaknesses and strengths. Measuring students' satisfaction and analyzing their experiences is an effective tool for curriculum development. Purpose: Evaluate Health Informatics (HI) curriculum from learners' experience in multiple universities in Saudi Arabia. Methods: a cross-sectional study using a survey distributed via Twitter, WhatsApp, and Telegram. Result: a total of (N = 252) participants, Male and Female, with different universities and study levels (Diploma, Bachelor, and Master's) were involved in the study. Among the total number of participants (252), female participants (153) are higher than male participants (99). Furthermore, 79% (200 out of 253) of the students experienced psychological pressure and a lack of understanding of the field. 43.7% (110 out of 252) indicated that the time compatible to finish chapters in the courses. Conclusion: On a national and international scale, health informatics education faces several challenges; required actions to improve the curriculum must be evaluated continuously to achieve the goals and objectives.
EMRs play an essential role in documenting clinical information. Nurses are integral to the success of an EMR implementation, as they are the largest group of employees in a hospital and provide patient care. A major factor in the success of EMR implementation is nurses' acceptance of the system. This study is designed to measure nurses' willingness to use EMRs in clinical practice, determine factors influencing nurses' acceptance of EMR documentation in clinical practice, and gain an understanding of the nurses' perspective on EMRs to encourage the adoption and implementation of EMRs in other health facilities in Saudi Arabia. This study included nurses from Hail General Hospital, Maternity and Children Hospital, King Khalid Hospital, and Hail General Hospital. Study results indicate that perceived usefulness and ease of use are strongly correlated, resulting in nurses' greater acceptance of EMRs. According to the study results, nurses are willing to use EMRs. Our result shows that overall, nurses find the EMR useful in their jobs, with 40.9% agreeing and 24.4% strongly agreeing. Whereas the overall easiness was 9.4% agreed and 24 strongly agreed. Nurses need to be prepared for a demanding workplace through their nursing curriculum. Nursing students and professionals should understand the importance of EMRs in ensuring high-quality, effective, and efficient patient care. It is imperative that nurses continuously improve their computer skills to keep up with technological advancements.
Through internship programs, students can acquire practical experience while learning from experts. Students can gain hands-on experience while combining theory and practice. This study examines the clinical nutrition internship program at the University of Hail in Saudi Arabia. Another objective of this study is to examine how interns perceive the internship program. Clinical nutrition students were surveyed online using social media platforms and specialized groups. This study involved 40 clinical nutrition interns in 2022/3/7. All of the interns were from the University of Hail. In this study, interns indicated that the internship positively impacted their learning, interpersonal, and personal skills and their employment prospects. For instance, 50% reported the availability of site supervisors when needed. Furthermore, 90% of the respondents indicated having the ability to persevere in complex tasks. Moreover, 90% illustrated that they acquired knowledge from the job duties. Further research is required to identify the barriers associated with this issue. According to the researchers, clinical nutrition, and other departments in the college of applied medical sciences curriculum should integrate soft skills. The supervisor should have a thorough understanding of the health informatics field and the intern's responsibilities. This will enable them to help the intern put what they learned in class into practice. The findings of this study can be used to study health informatics internships in greater depth. We strongly recommend conducting a comparative study with more participants from diverse institutions.
