This study report aimed to investigate the barriers to implementation of electronic health record systems from the perspective of nurses. The research data comprised responses from nurses working in a university hospital. Our data collection instruments were the Participant Information Form and EHR Nurse Opinion Questionnaire, which were developed by the researchers. Data analysis was presented as summary statistics, including mean values of variables, standard deviation, frequency, and percentages. A total of 160 nurses participated in the study. The mean age of participants was 30.94 ± 0.59 years, and 77.5% were university graduates. Barriers to adoption of the electronic health record system included high number of patients (82.8%), limited time (79%), lack of knowledge and skills for effective use of the system (22.9%), lack of user-friendly interface and inability to create a common language within the team (17.8%), and attachment to the traditional method (17.2%). Although most nurses thought that the electronic health record system offered some advantages, they reported that factors such as large numbers of patients, limited time, and lack of user-friendly interface hindered its adoption. Innovative strategies should be explored to develop user-friendly designs for electronic health records and to produce solutions for nursing shortages to increase the time allocated for patient care.
