| Summary: | Abstract Background We conducted this study to determine the effects of hospital information systems (HIS) adoption on techno-stress and job satisfaction among nurses working in pediatric clinics. Methods This descriptive and correlational study included 190 nurses working in the pediatric clinics of a public hospital in Istanbul. Data were collected using the “Demographic Information Form”, “Hospital Information Systems Adoption Scale”, “Techno-stress Scale”, and “Minnesota Job Satisfaction Questionnaire”. Collected data were analyzed using the SPSS Windows 22.0 software package. Frequency and percentage were used to summarize the demographic characteristics of the nurses. Mean and standard deviation were used to examine the scores from the measurement tools. Correlations of scale sub-dimensions contributing to the overall scale or questionnaire scores were examined by Pearson’s correlation analysis and linear regression analyses. The t-test, one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA), and post hoc analyses (Tukey-LSD) were used to examine the differences in measurement tool scores by the demographic characteristics of nurses. Results Of the participating nurses in the study; 68.9% were women, 46.8% were in the age range of 18–24 years, 62.1% were single, 66.3% had a bachelor’s degree or higher, 61.6% had been using computers for 3–10 years, and 54.7% had been using HIS for 0–3 years. A negative correlation was revealed between the adoption of HIS and perceived techno-stress among nurses, and the adoption of HIS was positively correlated with job satisfaction (p < 0.05). Conclusions The adoption of HIS was highly effective in achieving reduced techno-stress levels and enhanced job satisfaction. The use of HIS will enable nurses to conduct documentation procedures faster than before, allowing nurses to allocate more time to spend with their pediatric patients to contribute to the improvement and promotion of pediatric health through the provision of a holistic professional care service dedicated to children.
