Studies demonstrate that there is a dearth of literature published in the local
context regarding competencies in nursing informatics in Saudi Arabia. This study
employs mixed method design (specifically, a sequential explanatory approach) in
documenting the nursing informatics competencies of nurses. A total population
was used for the quantitative aspect and purposive sampling was used for the
qualitative. There were 295 nurses as respondents. This study commenced with
the approval of the Ethics Review Board of the University of Hail. The study was
conducted from October 2016 to March 2017 at King Khalid Hospital, Kingdom of
SaudiArabia.
The results show that nurses are competent in computer literacy (3.38), informatics
management (3.49), and informatics literacy (3.27). Nationality and area of
assignment proved to be significant in relation to nurses’ competencies. Three
themes and six subthemes emerged which included: (a) uncertainty, with the
subthemes of diffident and reticent; (b) uncovering the meaning of technology, with
the subthemes of value for patients and technology for nurses; and, (c)
streamlining Continuing Nursing Education, with the subthemes of competency
perspective and the missing link.
Nurses acknowledged the significance of nursing informatics in promoting safety
and quality care to the patient. However, there can be improvement in the impact of
the results of this study by focusing on what the nurses consider as contributory
factor in the full achievement of competence in nursing informatics.

Now, in the 1980s computer literacy is an integral part of education. This is a result of both normal cultural evolution and revolutionary technical advances which have greatly deereased the cost of computers and made them for far easier to use and understand. Accordingly, the possible application for the anesthetist are varied and range from educational game to sophiscated servo control of vital signs. The following is an experience of application program named AMS(Anesthetic Management System). The AMS is for scheduling and auditing of anesthetic record. The usage is simple and accurate but have some problems including lack of uniformity in data input especially type of anesthesia and anesthetic agent used. Authors expect the better programs which can be used in risk analysis in anesthsiology will be developed.

OBJECTIVES: Utilizing social network analysis, this study aimed to analyze the main keywords in the literature regarding the health literacy of and the use of online health information by aged persons over 65. METHODS: Medical Subject Heading keywords were extracted from articles on the PubMed database of the National Library of Medicine. For health literacy, 110 articles out of 361 were initially extracted. Seventy-one keywords out of 1,021 were finally selected after removing repeated keywords and applying pruning. Regarding the use of online health information, 19 articles out of 26 were selected. One hundred forty-four keywords were initially extracted. After removing the repeated keywords, 74 keywords were finally selected. RESULTS: Health literacy was found to be strongly connected with 'Health knowledge, attitudes, practices' and 'Patient education as topic.' 'Computer literacy' had strong connections with 'Internet' and 'Attitude towards computers.' 'Computer literacy' was connected to 'Health literacy,' and was studied according to the parameters 'Attitude towards health' and 'Patient education as topic.' The use of online health information was strongly connected with 'Health knowledge, attitudes, practices,' 'Consumer health information,' 'Patient education as topic,' etc. In the network, 'Computer literacy' was connected with 'Health education,' 'Patient satisfaction,' 'Self-efficacy,' 'Attitude to computer,' etc. CONCLUSIONS: Research on older citizens' health literacy and their use of online health information was conducted together with study of computer literacy, patient education, attitude towards health, health education, patient satisfaction, etc. In particular, self-efficacy was noted as an important keyword. Further research should be conducted to identify the effective outcomes of self-efficacy in the area of interest.
