Abstract/Summary

The aim of this study was to investigate the attitudes of female student nurses studying at the Technical Institute for Health Training in Riyadh City to the use of Electronic Medical Records. The findings of the study, which involved 56 female student nurses show that there is no significant relation between years of prior computer experience and knowledge or attitude toward EMR, although there is a significant relationship between age and the readiness to use EMR with student nurses over 23 years of age being more prepared to use the EMR than those who are under 23 years.
