[Nurses attitude toward the manual recording system of medical records].
The main goal of this work was to identify factors related to nurses' understanding about the manual recording system, through a descriptive-exploratory approach, developed with two hundred nursing professionals working at different hospital institutions located in the city of João Pessoa/Paraíba, Brazil. Data were collected with special forms using the Likert's behavioral scale. Results identified five factors such as: a) lack of knowledge about information systems; b) dissatisfaction with the manual recording system; c) needs of an informatized recording system to be used in nursing care; d) desire to utilize a classification system with all steps of the nursing process; and e) difficulties with nursing diagnosis related to manual recording. Findings demonstrated the dissatisfaction of nursing professionals about the manual recording system, requiring deep changes in the established recording model.
