Overview

Cross-sectional study identifies attitudes toward cybersecurity and risky behaviors in nurses, implying further education needed.

Key Points

  • Nurses showed generally favored attitudes toward cybersecurity, but some engage in risky online behaviors, necessitating administrative action.
  • Among participants, 83.3% were familiar with cybersecurity, but only 8.2% reported being affected by cybercrime, highlighting a disconnect.
  • The study employed a cross-sectional correlational approach using self-reported questionnaires to assess attitudes and behaviors related to cybersecurity.
  • Highlights the need for ongoing cybersecurity education and training in health-care settings to better protect patient data and improve practices.
