• The study also assessed levels of computer literacy among both cohorts and the training methods that were considered most appropriate to meet their needs.
• The approach was quantitative, using a questionnaire to collect data from 15 non‐users and 14 users.
• The overall results suggest that both non‐users and users had favourable attitudes towards the use of computerized care plans. However, non‐users with previous computer experience had more favourable attitudes towards the introduction of computerized care planning than those with no previous experience.
• The preferred teaching method identified by both groups was training by technical staff in the clinical area.
