Mennat Allah G. Abou Zeid.


Abstract
Objective: To investigate the determinants of digital competence among nurse managers, focusing specifically on demographic and work-structure factors.
Methodology: This descriptive cross-sectional study included 120 nurse managers who worked in three governmental hospitals in Aswan Governorate, Egypt. Participants were selected using simple random sampling to ensure representativeness. Data were collected using the Digital Competence Scale, which measures stress across three domains. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used for data analysis.
Results: The overall moderate level of digital competence, with a mean score of 72.6±17.9. Among the three domains, attitude toward digital technologies was the highest (40.0±10.7). Furthermore, the practical digital skills ranked second (21.8±6.9), indicating a reasonable level of operational capability, while digital knowledge was the lowest (10.8±3.1).
Conclusion: The nurse managers’ years of experience in both the nursing field and their current work unit were strongly associated with higher digital competence, emphasizing the importance of career maturity and continuity in developing digital proficiency.

Key words: Nurse administrators, nursing informatics, computer literacy, sex characteristics, professional practice.
