- W796590025 abstract "Objective: The aims of this study were to examine urban and rural doctors’information needs and information seeking behaviours; review their use ofinformation channels; sources; information and communication technologies andto assess their information literacy. It was expected that this would inform futureefforts that support doctors in their daily care of patients.Methodology: A multi-method approach was used in this study. The mainreason for that was to increase understanding gained from the quantitative data byobtaining more in-depth information from qualitative data and to integrate theadvantages of both methods. Concurrent triangulation strategy was chosen toconduct the quantitative and qualitative study. An exploratory survey was theresearch method, and a paper based questionnaire and face to face interviews(along with critical incident techniques embedded in the interview) were theresearch techniques used to gather data.Results: out of 1029 questionnaires that were distributed 334 (32.46%) werereturned. The valid responses were 256 (24.88%). Patient data, diseaseinformation, drug information, medical images & lab results, medical complicationsand guidelines were the main types of doctors’ information needs. Education andclinical practice were the main contexts that give rise to doctors’ informationneeds. Ambiguity, uncertainty, rare diseases and the multiplicity of options werethe motivations for information needs. Updating, answering colleagues/patientquestions and writing research papers were the purposes for which informationwas used. Personal library and human sources were the heavily used channels toaccess information. Books rather than journals was indicated the top informationsource. In addition, more than a quarter of urban doctors and 41.5% of ruraldoctors ranked online databases as the last source to be consulted. The majorityof doctors indicated a difficulty in obtaining electronic information particularly fromonline databases; moreover the majority reported that sometimes they would liketo have the search performed by a mediator. The majority demonstrated that theyuse field search and more than one term, but there was less use of Booleanparameters or truncation in the search strategies. Availability, ease of access andvuse, integration in the work environment and information skills were the maintypes of barrier to using information sources, particularly electronic sources.Summary, the study identified that context, such as clinical work, where aparticular task e.g. decision making leads to information needs. These may lead toinformation seeking behaviour to fulfil the need. However, doctors’ informationseeking encountered barriers that hampered the fulfilment of information needs." @default.
