Abstract
Bedside nurses in acute care settings face intensified job demands amid persistent low nursing staff census and rising patient acuity. The purpose of the study, guided by the job demands–resources (JD-R) model, was to examine the relationship between job demands, years of nursing experience, and perceived usefulness of virtual nursing technology among bedside nurses in acute care settings. A cross-sectional online survey was administered to bedside registered nurses (N = 102) currently using virtual nursing technology. Measures included the Intensification of Job Demands Scale and the Perceived Usefulness Scale. Data analyses indicated that the multiple regression was not statistically significant, ��(3,91)=1.56,��=.205, ��2=.049, and the bivariate linear regression with job intensification and perceived usefulness was also not statistically significant, ��(1,93)=0.70, ��=.405, ��2=.007. The results showed that the perceived usefulness of virtual nursing technology may depend less on job demand levels or years of nursing experience and more on contextual factors such as workflow fit, role clarity, and implementation processes. Recommendations for future studies are to incorporate multilevel organizational variables and measures of implementation quality. The implications for positive social change include the potential for nurse leaders and hospital administrators to design virtual nursing care models that are aligned with nursing workflows, supporting nurse well-being, sustaining the workforce, and improving care quality.
