Computerization and the use of new technologies is an ongoing process which is increasingly present in our society and in our profession. All health areas are affected by this process of computerization. But there are still nurses who have difficulties using them, especially those who have spent more years in their profession and belong to the generation that "saw technology arrive", so they have had to adapt to a new way of working which many of them have problems to get used to. Nowadays nurse has a huge challenge in harnessing new technology to make their work more efficiently, effective and as quickly as possible and to operate with ease in access to information and knowledge of health, its management or the generation and dissemination of new knowledge.
