To determine the information needs and support required by AHPs whilst building services based on clinical effectiveness.
A qualitative approach using action research in co-operation with a Rehabilitation Department Clinical Effectiveness group, leading to interviews with eight therapists. The sampling strategy was purposive.
Therapists have well-developed professional networks, but are unsure how to access traditional library areas. Library training can stop AHPs in asking for help or services, whilst the library is thought to be very different to their everyday work, but confidence in using the library service can be acquired by getting to know a librarian. A departmental-based service was thought to provide better access to, and understanding of, information through mentorship, whilst also providing up-to-date evidence so that clinicians can concentrate on their clinical work whilst being more clinically effective.
When seeking information, AHPs are more likely to use professional networks than libraries. However, when working alongside an AHP, a librarian can upgrade information-seeking skills through mentorship, whilst named library contacts can make it easier to access the library for help.
确定在基于临床疗效构建服务时，辅助医疗专业人员的信息需求及所需支持。
采用定性研究方法，与康复科临床疗效小组合作开展行动研究，进而对八位治疗师进行访谈。抽样策略为立意抽样。
治疗师拥有成熟的专业网络，但不确定如何获取传统图书馆资源。图书馆培训可能会使辅助医疗专业人员不再寻求帮助或服务，同时图书馆被认为与他们的日常工作差异很大，但通过结识图书馆员可以获得使用图书馆服务的信心。基于科室的服务被认为通过指导能更好地获取和理解信息，同时还能提供最新证据，以便临床医生专注于临床工作并提高临床疗效。
在寻求信息时，辅助医疗专业人员更倾向于使用专业网络而非图书馆。然而，当与辅助医疗专业人员合作时，图书馆员可通过指导提升其信息检索技能，同时指定的图书馆联系人能使获取图书馆帮助更加便捷。
