Abstract
The purpose of this study was to describe the prevalence of computer anxiety among Junior year, first-semester, Bachelor of Science in Nursing students and to look for possible relationships between computer anxiety levels and students' online learning test scores. Data from a convenience sample of 95 beginning BSN students were analyzed utilizing SPSS 10.1. Findings demonstrated high levels of computer anxiety in 10% of the students. No statistically significant correlations were found between students' on-line test scores and computer anxiety levels. Study results also demonstrated that students are able to self-identify their computer anxiety levels. Nurse educators are encouraged to evaluate students' self-rated computer anxiety levels at the beginning of the semester. Vulnerable students can then be given the technological assistance necessary to decrease their anxiety related to computer use throughout their nursing program.
