Internet-Generation Nursing Students' View of Technology-Based Health Care.

BACKGROUND
Today's nursing school applicants are considered "digital natives." This study investigated students' views of new health care technologies.


METHOD
In a cross-sectional survey among first-year nursing students, 23 common nursing activities and five telehealth nursing activities were presented along with three statements: "I consider this a core task of nursing," "I look forward to becoming trained in this task," and "I think I will do very well in performing this task."


RESULTS
Internet-generation nursing students (n = 1,113) reported a significantly (p ⩽ .001) less positive view of telehealth activities than of common nursing activities. Median differences were 0.7 (effect size [ES], -0.54), 0.4 (ES, -0.48), and 0.3 (ES, -0.39), measured on a 7-point scale.


CONCLUSION
Internet-generation nursing students do not naturally have a positive view of technology-based health care provision. The results emphasize that adequate technology and telehealth education is still needed for nursing students. [J Nurs Educ. 2017;56(12):717-724.].
