Abstract
In today’s society, information and communication technologies (ICT) play an important part in almost every area. This descriptive cross-sectional study assessed utilization of information communication and technology among students in St. Philomena Catholic Hospital, Benin City. Convenience sampling approach was used to recruit the 212 participants. The instrument for data collection was structured questionnaire with reliability of 0.786. SPSS version 22 was used to analyze the data. The result shows that the mean ± SD age of the respondent is (22.7 + 4.6 years). Only 29(14.5%) have good access to information communication and technology and 171(85.5%) have poor access information communication and technology. High utilization of information communication and technology was 133(66.5%) while low usage was 67(33.5%). perceived factors affecting utilization of information communication and technology among the respondents include faulty equipment/lack of maintenance 180(90.0%), lack of technical support 178(89.0%), and inadequate computers 165(82.5%), and unavailability of IT equipment in the school 150(75.0%). It is concluded that there is good utilization but poor access to information communication and technology among the students. Therefore, nursing institutions (academic/clinical) should continue to invest in professional development with student-centered ICT labs to encourage students to use modern technology.
