Setting: Critical care units at Benha University Hospital. Subjects: The convenience sample included (418) nurses who had previously worked.. Tools of data collection: Two tools were utilized. I) Nursing informatics educational needs questionnaire. II) Quality of care questioners. Results: Nursing informatics education requirements were highest for associated nursing skills (74.9%), then for computer skills (72.7%), and then for information technology skills (69.1%). Additionally, 46.7% of nurses believed that there was a great need for nursing informatics education. The majority of nurses roughly 50%said the quality of the care was high.
