Background: Biometric identification technologies are rapidly expanding across healthcare
sectors. These technologies offer secure methods for identifying nursing staff, thus enhancing
confidentiality and compliance with information protection standards. The management of the
hospital's information resources may be impacted by the nursing staff's perception of biometrics
technology and information security. Aims: the present study aimed to assess biometrics
technology use and its relation to information security policy compliance from nursing staff
perspectives. Research Design: A descriptive correlational research design was utilized to conduct
this study. Study setting: the study was conducted in critical care units at Benha University
Hospital. The study sample: A Simple random sample of 339 nursing staff participants working in
previous mentioned setting. Data collection tools: two tools were used; biometric technology use
perception questionnaire, and information security policy (ISP) compliance questionnaire. Results:
current study revealed that almost all of nursing staff had between a (43%) high level and (42%)
moderate level of biometric technology usage perception and nearly half of them (45%)
demonstrated a moderate level of information security policy compliance. Conclusion: there was a
highly statistically significant positive correlation between nursing staff' biometric technology use
perception and their ISP compliance. |
