| Abstract: |
This study investigated the prevalence of computer anxiety by area of practice, hours of weekly use, access to equipment, and availability of training for social workers (N = 244) in South Carolina, Georgia, and North Carolina. Measured by the Computer Anxiety Index (CAIN), levels of anxiety were found to be lowest for those who have computers in their work areas, received training, and use computers to accomplish work tasks. Statistically significant positive correlations were found between anxiety levels and high levels of training need as well as the number of hours of weekly use and training received. A significant negative correlation was found between anxiety levels and weekly hours of use. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER] |
