Computer use in staff development. A national survey.
The Informatics Task Force of the National Nursing Staff Development Organization (NNSDO) conducted a national survey soliciting information about computer use in staff development. More than 600 members responded to the survey, suggesting that informatics and the issues surrounding nurses' use of computers are of concern to many staff development professionals. Responses from focus groups held at the National Nursing Staff Development Organization annual convention provided additional input. The results of the survey and discussion sessions have implications for preparing nurse educators for the specialty practice of staff development in the future.
