Objective: To identify the technological profile of nurses in Portuguese hospitals.
Method: A quantitative exploratory study conducted in two hospitals in the northern
region and one in the central region of Portugal. The sample was randomly selected and
included 960 nurses. Results: Of the participants, 420 (46.1%) used computers, 196
(23.4%) reported having knowledge about using computers for teaching, 174 (21.1%)
used computers to teach, 112 (15.1%) recognized that using computers can be a
technological means to supplement classroom training, 477 (61.6%) would like to receive
training on using computers, and 382 (40.9%) reported self-learning of information
technology. In relation to distance education, 706 (74.9%) reported they were familiar
with it and 752 (76.4%) indicated an interest in participating in training using this
modality. Conclusion: Organizations should be mindful of the technological profile
shown by this group of nurses and look for ways to introduce educational technologies
in the management of care.
