The data were analyzed using Spearman's rank correlation and binary logistic regression. Results: Significant positive correlations were identified between nurses' knowledge and attitudes towards EHRs (r =0.72,p <0.001), knowledgeand acceptance(r =0.67,p < 0.001),and attitudesand acceptance (r =0.79, p <0.001). Keypredictors of EHR acceptance included higher education (postgraduate) (p =0.004),goodcom puter skills (p < 0.001), satisfactory knowledge (p < 0.001), and positive attitudes (p <0.001).
