Abstract

This study explored the relationship between personal characteristics, digital application skills, and perceptions of electronic medical records (EMRs) among 208 registered nurses in four hospitals in Ormoc City, Leyte. Guided by the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) and the Theory of Reasoned Action (TRA), it examined how factors like age, gender, education, clinical area, hospital classification, and digital training influence nurses’ acceptance and use of EMRs in documentation. Key findings showed that stronger digital skills correlated with higher perceived utility of EMRs, aligning with TAM’s principle of perceived usefulness (PU). Digital training positively influenced ease of use, reflecting TAM’s perceived ease of use (PEOU), while clinical area and age significantly affected EMR perceptions. However, gender, education, and employment type had no significant impact on EMR utility. The study highlights the need for targeted digital training programs to improve EMR adoption and usage. Recommendations include a Nursing Digital Application and Documentation Skills Training Plan tailored to nurses’ specific needs to enhance digital integration in workflows.
