This study aimed to examine nurses' EMR workarounds in mental healthcare settings. Of the 52 nurses invited to participate in this study, 50 nurses (96.1%) completed the survey using the EMR nursing workaround instrument and open-ended questions. The data collected were analyzed using descriptive statistics and Pearson's correlation coefficients. ⋯ The workarounds associated with colleagues unfamiliar with EMR use included waiting for, filling in for, teaching, and assisting unskilled colleagues. This study identified the problems, consequences, and suggestions associated with EMR implementation for psychiatric patient care. This study added useful information for the administrative, technical, and clinical improvement of EMR implementation in mental healthcare practice.
