This pilot study aimed to improve nurses' information literacy for evidence-based practice. Unit-based training for electronic resource searches presented significant learning obstacles for staff nurses.

Area of Science:

  • Nursing Education
  • Information Literacy
  • Evidence-Based Practice

Background:

  • Effective evidence-based practice relies on strong information literacy and critical appraisal skills.
  • Staff nurses require enhanced abilities to locate and evaluate electronic resources for clinical decision-making.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop information literacy skills in staff nurses within an intensive care unit.
  • To assess the effectiveness of unit-based training on electronic literature searching frequency and quality.
  • To evaluate a supplementary web-based tutorial for reinforcing training content.

Main Methods:

  • A pilot project utilized a unit-based educational approach in an intensive care unit.
  • Staff nurses received training on performing patient care-related electronic literature searches.
