In the information-based economy, information literacy has become the foundation of scientific literacy, and provides the basis for innovative growth. Exploring the relationship between information-seeking behaviors and innovative behaviors of nursing students could help guide the development of information literacy education and training for nursing students. The relationship between information-seeking behavior and innovative behavior in nursing students has received little attention, however.
This study aims to explore the relationship between information-seeking behavior and innovative behavior of nursing students.
Nursing students in Xiangya Medical School, Central South University and Medical School of Hunan Normal University in the Chinese Province of Hunan were surveyed with an information-seeking behavior scale and an innovative behavior scale.
A total of 1247 nursing students were included in the final analysis. The results showed that both information-seeking behavior and innovative behavior were significantly better in undergraduates than in junior college nursing students (P < .01), and in postgraduates than in undergraduates (P < .01). The overall level of nursing students' information-seeking behavior was positively related to innovative behavior (r = 0.63, P < .01), and the 7 dimensions of information-seeking behavior were also correlated with innovative behavior in varying degrees. Furthermore, information utilization was proved to be the strongest predictor of innovative behavior.
Information-seeking behavior is positively associated with innovative behavior among nursing students. There is a need to integrate information literacy education with information retrieval courses, especially in the aspects of information utilization, retrieval, and assessment.
在信息经济时代，信息素养已成为科学素养的基础，为创新增长提供了基础。探索护生信息寻求行为与创新行为之间的关系，可以帮助指导护生信息素养教育和培训的发展。然而，护生的信息寻求行为与创新行为之间的关系还没有得到太多关注。
本研究旨在探讨护生的信息寻求行为与创新行为之间的关系。
采用信息寻求行为量表和创新行为量表对中国湖南省中南大学湘雅医学院和湖南师范大学医学院的护理学生进行调查。
共有 1247 名护理学生纳入最终分析。结果表明，本科生的信息寻求行为和创新行为均明显优于专科生（P<0.01），研究生的信息寻求行为和创新行为均明显优于本科生（P<0.01）。护生信息寻求行为的总体水平与创新行为呈正相关（r=0.63，P<0.01），信息寻求行为的 7 个维度与创新行为也存在不同程度的相关性。此外，信息利用被证明是创新行为的最强预测因素。
信息寻求行为与护生的创新行为呈正相关。需要将信息素养教育与信息检索课程相结合，特别是在信息利用、检索和评估方面。
