Abstract

Objective: Determine the digital skills (DC) of nurses and identify areas for improvement, as well as the professional profile associated with the level of competence. Methods: Cross-sectional observational study on a consecutive non-probabilistic sample of 203 nurses. The study period was between May and September 2020. The study subjects were nurses from 116 Spanish hospitals who worked in Urology and Surgery Units and Services. The information source consisted of a questionnaire that included information on the professional profile and certain attitudes that could be associated with the degree of development of CD. To assess the level of CD, a tool was designed by experts and made up of 6 competencies and divided into 36 items with a Cronbach's alpha of 0.954. Descriptive statistics and bivariate analysis were used for statistical analysis using Student-Fisher t tests and analysis of variance. The SPSS 24.0 statistical program was used. Results: 44.8% (90) of the participants were between 46 and 55 years old, with 90.5% (182) being women. The mean global CD score was 112.9 (standard deviation SD = 25.3). Only 10.3% (21) presented an “acquired” global CD (scores greater than 150). The dimension with the highest level of DC was “Digital health literacy” (Average = 20.4; SD = 5.27) and those with the lowest level was competence 4 “Creation of digital scientific-health content (Average = 17.3 points; SD = 4.44 points) and competence 6 "Analysis and data management" (Average = 17.4 points; SD = 4.84 points). Various factors were associated with a higher CD level both globally and in each of its dimensions (p <0.05) such as gender, having a laptop at work, as well as tablet-type portable devices, periodically accessing the internet or e-mail and look up job information. Conclusions: The level of digital competence is at an average level, but only a minority has reached the level of digital competence in a globally acquired way. The use of computing devices, as well as the frequency of access to digital applications is related to the higher level of CD both globally and by dimensions.
