Potentially risky behavior among nursing students on the Internet

Cilj istraživanja: Ispitati nivo znanja o pitanjima informacijske sigurnosti i privatnosti među medicinskim sestrama i tehničarima zaposlenim u KBC Osijek s obzirom na spol i stručnu spremu te ispitati koliko je njihovo ponašanje na internetu potencijalno rizično u usporedbi s prethodnim istraživanjem. Nacrt studije: Istraživanje je provedeno kao presječno. Ispitanici i metode: U istraživanju je sudjelovalo 90 medicinskih sestara i tehničara koji su zaposleni u KBC Osijek sa završenom srednjom, višom i visokom stručnom spremom. Kao instrument istraživanja korišten je validirani znanstveni upitnik „Upitnik znanja i rizičnog ponašanja korisnika informacijskog sustava“ (UZPK) koji se sastoji od 33 pitanja koja se procjenjuju bodovima na Likertovoj skali od 1 do 5 pri čemu ponuđeni odgovori imaju različita značenja. Na kraju su anketnog upitnika dodana dva kontrolna pitanja. Primijenio se anketni list s demografskim podacima koji se sastoji od 7 pitanja. Rezultati: Statističke su značajne razlike vidljive u usporedbi s prethodnim istraživanjem u dvije subskale, jedna govori o održavanju osobnih računalnih sustava, a druga o uvjerenju o sigurnosti računalnih sustava, u kojoj je također vidljiva statistički značajna razlika prilikom usporedbe prema spolu. U prvoj je subskali vidljiva statistički značajna razlika u usporedbi prema stručnoj spremi, a uspoređujući subskale sa starosnom dobi vidljiva je u trećoj. Zaključak: U usporedbi s referentnim vrijednostima iz prethodnog istraživanja, medicinske se sestre/tehničari KBC-a Osijek statistički ne razlikuju po znanju od prosjeka, u jednom su segmenti i iznadprosječni, ali ispitano ponašanje na internetu je potencijalno rizično.Research goal: Test the level of knowledge regarding information safety and privacy among the nurses and technicians employed at the Clinical Hospital Centre Osijek, considering their gender and completed education, and test the level of potential risk resulting from their behaviour online, when compared to the previous study. Study plan: The conducted study was implemented as a cross-sectional study. Research participants and methods: 90 nurses and technicians employed at the Clinical Hospital Centre Osijek participated in the study, their level of completed education was secondary school, college, and higher education. The validated scientific questionnaire “Questionnaire on the Knowledge and Risky Behaviour of the Information System Users” was used as a research instrument. The questionnaire contains 33 questions evaluated using points on the Likert scale of 1 to 5, where the offered responses have different meanings. Two control questions were added at the end of the survey questionnaire. A survey questionnaire containing demographic information and 7 questions was used. Results: There is significant difference in two subscales, when compared to the previous study, first one is about personal computer maintenance, and the second one is about secured data, in which is significant difference regarding gender. Also, there is significant difference in first subscale regarding completed education and in third one regarding age. Conclusion: The nurses and technicians employed at the Clinical Hospital Centre Osijek do not differ from the average concerning their knowledge, when compared to the previous study. In one segment they are even above the average, but their behaviour online is potentially risky
