Abstract
Background: The development of a QR-code based nursing information management program can help professional nurses to better manage nursing services.
Objectives: To investigate the effect of the supervision via QR code on nursing information utilization.
Methods: A quasi-experimental study with a sample of 60 nurses working in a private hospital, divided into 30 in the experimental group and 30 in the control group. The control group received usual supervision, while the experimental group received supervision via a QR code on nursing information utilization for 6 weeks. The research instruments included 1) a supervision program via QR code for research conduction , and 2) a questionnaire for data collection. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, paired t-test, and independent.
Results: The results of the study revealed that the professional nurses who participated in the QR code supervision program had a mean score of 4.46, which was significantly higher than the control group with a mean score of 1.64 (p<.05). Their mean scores were also significantly higher than before the program (p<.05).
Conclusions: Therefore, the experimental group's utilization of nursing information after participating in the supervision program resulted in a mean score for computer literacy at the highest level, while information literacy and information management skills were demonstrated to be at a high level. These findings illustrate the effectiveness of the supervision program, augmented by QR codes, in enhancing organizational efficiency in terms of convenience, safety, cost reduction, and, time management.
