Aims and objectivesTo report the informatics competencies of students in selected undergraduate and graduate nursing programmes, to examine whether informatics competencies differed between the different programmes and to suggest competency‐based applications that will strengthen informatics courses and informatics‐related content throughout the curricula.BackgroundNursing students in undergraduate and graduate nursing programmes have different educational backgrounds and different practice experience. Thus, their informatics preparation is apt to be varied, and nursing curricula must reflect this variation while advancing students towards informatics proficiency. However, studies on informatics competency assessment in these nursing students are scarce.DesignA descriptive survey design.MethodsData were collected from 289 nursing students using a 30‐item Self‐Assessment of Nursing Informatics Competencies Scale via an email sent to students using a LISTSERV mailing list. The email embedded link to the Internet survey package, SurveyMonkey, which included the Self‐Assessment of Nursing Informatics Competencies Scale and demographic questions along with an online consent form.Results
