This study investigates use of the internet by nursing students to access health information and their evaluation practices in relation to this information. The research method was a retrospective descriptive postal survey. A questionnaire was sent to all undergraduate students enrolled in a Bachelor of Nursing programme at a New Zealand university in 2005. The response rate was 50% or 174 responses. Findings from the study included marked variations in respondents ability to successfully search for and evaluate relevant internet health and nursing information. Few respondents assessed patients use of the internet to gather health information or assisted patients with evaluation. As searching, evaluating and sharing online information is a core element of nursing practice, formal education to develop competency in the ability of all nursing students to retrieve and assess internet health information is essential. The integration of these skills into nursing practice is a vital step in developing new approaches to working with knowledgeable consumers of internet health information.
本研究调查了护理专业学生使用互联网获取健康信息的情况以及他们对这些信息的评估实践。研究方法为回顾性描述性邮寄调查。2005年，一份问卷被发送给了新西兰一所大学护理专业本科课程的所有在读学生。回复率为50%，即收到174份回复。该研究的结果包括，受访者成功搜索和评估相关互联网健康及护理信息的能力存在显著差异。很少有受访者评估患者使用互联网收集健康信息的情况，或协助患者进行评估。由于搜索、评估和分享在线信息是护理实践的核心要素，因此开展正规教育，以培养所有护理专业学生检索和评估互联网健康信息的能力至关重要。将这些技能融入护理实践，是开发与熟悉互联网健康信息的消费者合作新方法的关键一步。
