Narrative synthesis of the Adatara et al. cross-sectional study within the review; age was significantly associated with ICT use, with younger leaders more able across typing, software, email and internet tasks than "their older counterparts".

"It is also evident that nurse leaders' age is significantly associated with the use of ICT; nurse leaders aged between 29 and 39 years were able to use ICT in nursing, while nurse leaders aged 50 years or older abilities were found lower, younger nurse leaders were more able to type using keyboards, use software applications for planning and making decisions, compose and send emails, use the Internet to locate and download items, and conduct other computer tasks compared to their older counterparts [43]."
