Abstract :This study aimed to determine nurses\\\' level of use of electronic health records, their perceptions of information technologies, and their effects on their productivity. This study was a descriptive, cross-sectional, and correlational survey study of 120 nurses working at Urla State Hospital. Personal Information Form, Information Technologies Applications Evaluation Form, Electronic Health/Patient Record Scale, and Attitude Scale for Efficiency in Nursing were used to collect data. It was determined that nurses\\\' knowledge and attitudes towards electronic health records (1.96±8.97) were at a high level and they had positive attitudes towards productivity (45.54±10.04). While there was a positive and moderate relationship (r=0.482) between the use of electronic health/patient record systems and the attitudes towards information technology applications in nurses, there was no correlation between the use of information technologies and their productivity (r=0.046). It can be used more efficiently in nursing processes by increasing the positive perceptions of nurses towards informatics applications.
