背景 : 隨著資訊科技與無線通訊技術的成熟，許多資訊系統與無線通訊技術已應用在健康照護產業，以致對護理人員需具備電腦能力的要求與日俱增。電腦素養是基本的電腦能力，而電腦技能是工作相關的電腦能力。不論是電腦素養或是電腦技能的測量，目前現有的量表大多未檢測量表的效度。 目的 : 發展具備良好信、效度的電腦素養量表，並瞭解受測者電腦素養現況，用以作為規劃適宜的電腦課程，以符合護理相關學門學生的需求。 方法 : 參酌Hinkin’s的問卷發展程序，以選修資訊素養與網路應用課程的護理或護理相關大學新生為實證對象，採驗證性因素分析檢測信度與效度。 結果 : 發展出涵蓋軟體、硬體、多媒體、網路、資訊安全及資訊倫理六大面向，二十二個評量題項的電腦素養量表。經驗證性因素分析檢測，具備適當的模式配適以及良好的組合信度、收斂效度與區別效度。研究亦發現受測者網路面向得分最高，硬體面向最低。 結論／實務應用 : 隨著資訊科技應用的增加，應可適度增加相關硬體單元，以提升問題解決能力；文書處理及網路相關單元則可適度降低，而酌增資料庫、統計軟體、醫院資訊系統以及資訊倫理等單元。

Background: Increasing application and use of information systems and mobile technologies in the healthcare industry require increasing nurse competency in computer use. Computer literacy is defined as basic computer skills, whereas computer competency is defined as the computer skills necessary to accomplish job tasks. Inadequate attention has been paid to computer literacy and computer competency scale validity. Purpose: This study developed a computer literacy scale with good reliability and validity and investigated the current computer literacy of newly enrolled students to develop computer courses appropriate to students’ skill levels and needs. Methods: This study referenced Hinkin’s process to develop a computer literacy scale. Participants were newly enrolled first-year undergraduate students, with nursing or nursing-related backgrounds, currently attending a course entitled Information Literacy and Internet Applications. Researchers examined reliability and validity using confirmatory factor analysis. Results: The final version of the developed computer literacy scale included six constructs (software, hardware, multimedia, networks, information ethics, and information security) and 22 measurement items. Confirmatory factor analysis showed that the scale possessed good content validity, reliability, convergent validity, and discriminant validity. This study also found that participants earned the highest scores for the network domain and the lowest score for the hardware domain. Conclusions/Implications for Practice: With increasing use of information technology applications, courses related to hardware topic should be increased to improve nurse problem-solving abilities. This study recommends that emphases on word processing and network-related topics may be reduced in favor of an increased emphasis on database, statistical softwares, hospital information systems, and information ethics.
