Overview

Cross-sectional study reveals links between attitudes towards cybersecurity and online behavior in nurses, indicating educational needs.

Key Points

  • Most nurses (83.3%) reported being familiar with cybersecurity, yet only 8.2% had experienced cybercrime.
  • Analysis showed a weak negative correlation between cybersecurity attitudes and risky online behaviors among nurses.
  • Data was gathered via a correlational study using self-reported questionnaires from 341 registered nurses.
  • While attitudes were favorable, risky behaviors suggest a need for increased education and policy support for nurses.
