“…Level of technology skills among healthcare providers has appeared to be the most important predictor of technology use in the workplace and is related to higher nursing competency . Our findings showed that the level of technology ownership, skills and use was innately high among Thai providers who used them based on experience and self‐learning, and thus, did not require intensive technology use training to deliver online services.…”

Introduction HIV testing coverage remains low among men who have sex with men (MSM) and transgender women (TGW). We studied characteristics of Thai MSM and TGW who chose online and/or offline platforms for HIV counselling and testing and the feasibility of integrating online technologies and HIV self‐testing to create service options.MethodsFrom December 2015 to June 2017, MSM and TGW enrolled from Bangkok Metropolitan Region and Pattaya could choose between: 1 offline HIV counselling and testing (Offline group), 2 online pre‐test counselling and offline HIV testing (Mixed group), and 3 online counselling and online, supervised, HIV self‐testing (Online group). Sociodemographic data, risk behaviour and social network use characteristics were collected by self‐administered questionnaires. Logistic regression models identified covariates for service preferences.ResultsOf 472 MSM and 99 TGW enrolled, 202 self‐selected the Offline group, 158 preferred the Mixed group, and 211 chose the Online group. The Online group had the highest proportion of first‐time testers (47.3% vs. 42.4% vs. 18.1%, p < 0.001) and reported highest HIV prevalence (15.9% vs. 13.0% vs. 3.4%, p = 0.001) as compared to Offline and Mixed groups, respectively. Having tested for HIV twice or more (OR 2.57, 95% CI 1.03 to 6.41, p = 0.04) increased the likelihood to choose online pre‐test counselling. Being TGW (OR 6.66, 95% CI 2.91 to 15.25, p < 0.001) and using social media from four to eight hours (OR 2.82, 95% CI 1.48 to 5.37, p = 0.002) or >8 hours (OR 2.33, 95% CI 1.05 to 5.16, p = 0.04) increased selection of online, supervised, HIV self‐testing. Providers primarily used smartphones (79.2%) and laptops (37.5%) to deliver online services. Self‐testing strip image sharpness and colour quality were rated “good” to “excellent” by all providers. Most participants (95.1%) agreed that online supervision and HIV self‐testing guidance offered were satisfactory and well delivered.ConclusionsOnline HIV services among MSM and TGW are feasible in Thailand and have the potential to engage high proportions of first‐time testers and those with high HIV prevalence. When designing public health interventions, integrating varied levels of online HIV services are vital to engage specific sections of MSM and TGW populations in HIV services.Clinical Trial NumberNCT03203265

PurposeTo review literature on the nurses’ use and access to Internet Health Related Information (HRI). There is relatively little evidence in published literature on barriers, attitudes and how nurses utilize online health-related information.MethodsLiterature search was carried-out on Cumulative Indexes to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL), MEDLINE, Google Scholar, Springer and Sage publications. The search timeframe has focused on the outburst of Internet usage between the years 2000 and 2014.ResultsQuality of available websites and databases containing health-related information vary widely in their accuracy, validity and reliability that require nurses to continuously evaluate their relevance.ConclusionEmphasis on the necessity for training in the use of information technology is important to the nurses’ continuous professional development. Literature showed a strong evidence of the increased access to the Internet by nurses to retrieve information related to clinical practice, which in turns enhance the quality of care and communication among nurses.

“…6 The research warns that the nursing performance may be adversely affected if the information and communication technologies are improperly used. 18 By choosing to incorporate technology, it is imperative that educators have basic rules for good teaching practice and resource domain. The teaching experience in the creation and selection of technological tool can influence the student´s satisfaction in the learning process.…”

Objective. To evaluate the influence of the use of digital applications in medicament calculation education for nursing students. Methods. An experimental study was developed with a sample of 100 nursing students, who were divided randomly into two groups (use of the Calculation Medicines -CalcMed application -available free on the Internet, n=50) and control (conventional method of the calculator use and pre-math skills, n=50). Both groups were assessed before and after the application of the teaching strategy through a test with ten specific questions of medicament calculations. Results. The study group showed a mean score of 8.14 versus an average of 5.02 in the control group. The average time of test execution was faster in the study group compared to the control group (15.7 versus 38.9 minutes). Conclusion. The strategy of using this application positively influences learning and enables greater security in the implementation of medicament calculations.
