It is a pre-post design study carried out with a single group of 72 sophomores in a nursing college. Nursing information literacy competency enhancement program of 6 times (8 hours) was provided to nursing students. Our results have demonstrated that knowledge, attitude, skills of evidence-based practice, and problem solving skills were significantly higher in nursing students. In conclusion, the nursing information literacy competency enhancement program was effective in promoting knowledge, attitude, skills of evidence-based practice and problem solving skills. Based on our results, the nursing information literacy competency enhancement program can provide a basis for enhancing evidence-based nursing practice competencies and problem solving skills of nursing students.

Nursing Students’ Acceptance Intention of a Smart Device, Information Literacy, and Problem-Solving Confidence

“…The relevance of information literacy and problem-solving confidence demonstrated a strong correlation (r = 0.501, p < 0.001). This is similar to the results of significantly increased problem-solving ability and evidence-based nursing ability when providing the nursing information capacity enhancement program to 72 nursing students in the study by Ha et al [19]. In addition, a study of clinical nurses [22] depicts a similar result, as shown in our results, that information literacy has a positive effect on problem-solving ability.…”

“…As informationization is accelerated in nursing organizations, work processes and performance creation are required, and information literacy is deemed important [17,18]. Information literacy is related to the problem-solving abilities of nurses [19,20]. In addition, the results of a study on nursing students demonstrated that information literacy affects evidence-based performance skills [21][22][23].…”

Effects of an EMR Education Program on Nursing Information Literacy, Self-Directed Learning, Problem-Solving Ability, and Practice Satisfaction of Undergraduate Nursing Students

“…There were few prior studies examining the effects of EMR training on problem-solving ability, making it difficult to make a direct comparison. Considering that EMR education can ultimately lead to improved nursing information literacy [11,25], the discussion points were inferred from previous studies [13,14,26] that analyzed the relationship between nursing information literacy and problem-solving ability. A study by Jo and Gu et al [13] showed that nursing information literacy Choi, Dongwon had a direct effect on problem-solving ability among nursing students, while a study by Kwak et al [14] and Ha et al [26] showed that nursing information literacy was highly correlated with problem-solving ability.…”

This suggests that the use of EMR in the experimental group in this study may have had an effect on the improvement of problemsolving ability.…”

Development and Validation of an Instrument to Measure Nursing Information Literacy Competency

“…Previous studies on nursing information literacy competency in Korea have shown that nursing information literacy competency could improve person's problem solving ability, self-directed learning ability and critical thinking disposition [7,14,15] and enhance capacity for evidencebased practice [7,16]. Although there have been many studies on the information literacy competency in nursing students, most of them have been conducted using a measurement by modifying the information literacy competency instrument for college students [7,15,16,17] and there is no a proper instrument to measure nursing information literacy competency.…”
