Information literacy during entry to practice: Information-seeking behaviors in student nurses and recent nurse graduates

Student Confidence/Overconfidence in the Research Process

“…The emphasis on evidence, as provided by the literature, requires strong information seeking skills. Wahoush and Banfield (2013) highlighted the influence of EBP behaviors among experienced nurses, recent nursing graduates, and nursing students at a medium-sized university in Canada. They concluded that recent graduates employ more electronic information sources and resources to support clinical practice than their more seasoned counterparts.…”

To find out more about this topic, I applied for funding for a pilot study.…”

Banque d’instruments de mesure en recherche : Une innovation au service des membres chercheurs en sciences infirmières

“…La navigation et la localisation de matériels pertinents et précis dans les grandes Banques de données représentent un réel défi, tant pour les étudiants des programmes universitaires, les infirmières que pour les professeurs [1,2,3]. Ce défi prend d'autant plus d'importance que les milieux académiques et cliniques ont accès à un nombre important de ressources informationnelles, sans toujours disposer des connaissances nécessaires pour réaliser des recherches ciblées [4,5,6].…”
