Abstract
Background and Objective: This study aimed to assess nurses' attitude toward the effect of nursing electronic reports on patient care.
Material and Methods: This descriptive-analytical study was conducted on 316 nurses in the hospitals affiliated to Semnan University of Medical Sciences and social security organization, 2012. The instrument was a researcher-made questionnaire, valid and reliable. The data was analyzed by Chi Square, Fisher and Phi test.
Results: Forty-seven five point percent of the nurses completely disagreed with the impact of electronic reporting on patient assessment (1.8± 1.06) and 54.4% completely disagreed with its impact on the selection of clinical intervention (1.8 ± 1.06). On the other hand , 50% of nurses agreed with the effect of the computer program on patient care (2.2±0.99), 42.4% were satisfied with its effect on patient's diet planning (2.1±1.5) and 40.7% with the computer program on nursing diagnosis (2.01±1.09).There was significant relationship between some of the nurses’ demographic characteristics and their attitude (P<0.05).
Conclusion: Based on the results, nurses’ attitudes can be attributed to some defects in the computer programs and to the nurses’ compliance with information technology. To improve the effectiveness of electronic reporting, first, the quality of computer programs of clinical settings should be enhanced, and then changes should be occurred in organizational policies and in electronic documentation. Further, we should consider the impact of Levine's theory of change, indicating the staff’s resistance to technology adoption in workplace.

Abstract
Background: Humor creates intimacy between the patient and the nurse, develops a feeling of trust, and positively affects care quality. This study aimed to determine nursing students' humor styles and care behaviors and evaluate the relationship between their humor styles and perceived care behaviors.
Methods: This was a cross-sectional and analytical research. The sample comprised 124 second-, third-, and fourth-year nursing students at a university located in Istanbul between December 2019 and December 2020. The data collection tools were a Personal Information Form, Humor Styles Scale, and Care Assessment Questionnaire. Frequency tables, descriptive statistics, independent samples t-test, analysis of variance, Mann-Whitney-U test, Kruskal-Wallis H test, Bonferroni correction, and Spearman correlation were employed to analyze the data.
Results: It was determined that 86.3% of the nursing students were female, 97.6% were single, their mean age was 20.80±1.94 years, and 49.2% of the students were second-year students. The total mean score of the students on the Care Assessment Questionnaire was 6.38±0.51. A positive humor style was significantly related to the subscales of the Care Assessment Questionnaire (P<0.05).
Conclusions: There was a significant relationship between nursing students' humor styles and perceived care behaviors. The positive humor style had a positive effect on the caring behavior.
