Information behavior, Nursing, Information source, HealthAbstract
Although informational behavior of nurses has already been investigated, factors that influence such behavior are still poorly understood. This work investigated whether and how variation in user's location influences his informational behaviors during wound care. Through an electronic questionnaire distributed between January and February 2020, 566 students and nursing professionals from 23 Brazilian states and from Federal District provided data on their geographical location and their informational behaviors during wound care. Variations in information sources use, in frequency of obtaining information and in way of recording information during wound care could be related to variations between country region, state and city of the participants. Up to 16% variation in informational behaviors was identified between cities of the same size, up to 51% variation in informational behaviors between different regions of the country, and up to 100% variation in informational behaviors between Brazilian states.
