Background: Hospital Information System (HIS) play a critical role in enhancing hospital management by providing timely access to patient data, supporting clinical decision- making and streamlining administrative tasks. Despite its significance, effective utilization of HIS by nursing personnel remains inconsistent.
Aim: To assess the knowledge, to find out the barriers regarding Hospital Information System (HIS) among the staff nurses and to find out the association between the barriers faced by staff nurses in maintaining Hospital Information System (HIS) with their selected demographic variables in a selected hospital of Uttar Pradesh.
Method: A quantitative research approach was adopted for the study with cross sectional research design was conducted in selected hospital of Uttar Pradesh, India. The study was conducted among 250 staff nurses. A structured knowledge questionnaire was used to assess the knowledge of staff nurses and structured rating scale was used to find out the barriers among staff nurses.
Result: The findings revealed that 59.6% of staff nurses had adequate knowledge about HIS. Regarding barriers, 66.8% experienced moderate barriers, 17.6% experienced major barriers, and 15.6% experienced mild barriers and significant associations were found between barriers and any training attended related to HIS use (p=0.007) and any special training attended related to computer use (p=0.007), whereas with other demographic variables, no significant association was shown.
Conclusion: The study concluded that a large proportion of staff nurses had inadequate knowledge and faced barriers in maintaining Hospital Information System (HIS). These findings have practical and policy implications for hospital administrators, highlighting the need for structured and continuous HIS training programs, supportive policies, and adequate resource allocation to ensure effective and sustainable system use.
