Abstract The primary goal of this study was to better understand how nurses interact with computers in the performance of nursing activities, more specifically how nurses create, modify, and discontinue computerized nursing orders for patient care. The main focus of the study was to (1) understand how nurses currently used a text-based system to create, modify, and discontinue nursing orders, (2) determine the differences in nurses' speeds, accuracy, and subjective satisfaction with text-based (CI-ICS) versus a redesigned graphical user interface in nursing orders management and (3) examine the relationship of nurses' demographic and cognitive information processing characteristics during on-line nursing intervention orders management using the two different computer interfaces. The study was conducted at a large military medical center in the Pacific for purpose (1) and at a large military medical center in the Mid Atlantic for purposes (2) and (3). For study purpose (1) content analysis was used to analyze 14 nurses' comments about CHCS nursing orders. For study purpose (2) a within subjects design allowed for a two-factor repeated measures analysis to be used, and for (3) multiple regression was used to analyze the data in a descriptive correlational design.
