Area of Science:

  • Nursing Education
  • Information Science
  • Problem-Solving Skills

Background:

  • Information seeking is crucial for effective problem-solving in nursing.
  • Pre-registration nurse education programs vary, potentially influencing skill development.
  • Assessing information-seeking skills is vital for curriculum enhancement.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To compare information-seeking skills among senior student nurses from three distinct pre-registration programs.
  • To identify similarities and differences in information acquisition approaches.
  • To evaluate the use of information-seeking models within these programs.

Main Methods:

  • A comparative study involving 253 senior student nurses.
  • Utilized a paper-and-pencil simulation exercise to assess information-seeking skills.

  • Data collected on approaches to information acquisition and rationale.

    • Main Results:

    • Few students demonstrated a holistic information-seeking approach.
    • Rationale for information requests was infrequently articulated.
    • Integrated degree students showed more systematic information acquisition compared to Registered General Nurse (RGN) and Diploma Registered Nurse (Diploma RN) students.
    • RGN students more frequently referenced nursing models, with Roper et al.'s Activities of Living Model being most popular.

    Conclusions:

    • Significant variations exist in information-seeking skills among nursing students based on their educational pathways.
    • There is a need to enhance the development of systematic and holistic information-seeking skills in pre-registration nursing education.
    • Curriculum review could optimize the integration of information-seeking strategies and models.
