Understanding the Association Between Electronic Health Record Satisfaction and the Well-Being of Nurses: Survey Study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Intensive care unit (ICU) nurses experience high levels of burnout related to the high-stress environment. Management of electronic health records (EHR) is a contributing factor to physician burnout. However, limited research has established the relationship between the nurse's well-being and EHR use.

Objective

The objective of this study was to examine the association between EHR use and the well-being of nurses.

Methods

We surveyed registered nurses employed at a major Southeastern medical center in the United States about their demographics, experience with EHRs, satisfaction with EHRs, and elements of well-being. The correlation between subgroup demographics and survey questions was examined using Kendall and Fisher tests.

Results

A total of 113
