A comparative study of the attitudes of users and non-users towards computerised care planning.	The aim of this study was to compare the attitudes of nurses who had little or no experience of computerised care planning (non‐users) with those who had at least 2 years’ experience (users). The study assessed levels of computer literacy among both cohorts and the training methods considered most appropriate to meet their needs.	Getty et al13	1999	Northern Ireland, UK	Comparative study The approach was quantitative, using a questionnaire to collect data from 15 non‐ users and 14 users.
