Objective: The use of computer and information technologies which guide nurses in all areas from documentation of health records to analysis of patient data has become more valuable day by day. The use of information technologies is important for developing scientific information in nursing. This study was conducted in order to determine the use of computer and information technologies by nurses.Methods: Sample of the study, conducted with descriptive survey model, consisted of 107 nurses working in a university hospital between November 2015 and February 2016 who consented to participate in the study. "Individual Information Form" and "Evaluation Form on Use of Information Technologies in Nursing" prepared by researchers were used to collect data of the research study. For the study written permission from the research institute, and verbal approval from the nurses participating in the study were obtained. Number and percentage distributions were used to assess the data. Results: Mean age of the nurses participating in the study was 24.28 years While, 73.8% of them were female, and 75.4% of them were single, and 41.1% had an associate's degree. It was determined that nurses mostly use information technologies at workplace during the day and they spent an average of 3.78 hours daily in front of the computer. They expressed that they used mostly search engines for following news, up-to-date information and events on the internet, and used vocationally information technologies mostly for tracking laboratory results of the patients.Conclusion: Even though nurses were closely interested in information technology, it was determined that they did not use it efficiently in their professional lives. Deficiencies of the nurses in training, and education should be made up, programs for patient care and nursing practices should be popularized, and the nurses should utilize advanced technologies Özdemir, Kafkas Üniversitesi Sağlık Bilimleri such as tele-nursing and bedside computer.
