To study what general sources of information health professionals working in primary care use, their access to them, expenditure incurred in health information and whether they do research and publish it.
A descriptive crossover study using an anonymous questionnaire.
Primary care.
Doctors, paediatricians, nurses and midwives working in the primary care field in Area 13 of the Community of Valencia. 163 out of 255 people polled replied (63.9% participation).
The main sources of information favoured are courses and clinical sessions. 83.5% of professionals had done some course or attended a congress or workshop over the two previous years. 78.9% of staff had needed to look for a book or magazine outside their own library and mainly looked outside the Health Centres. 20.8% spent no money on health information. 34.4% had done research work: 24 doctors and 9 nurses had published. 14.7% felt supported always or often by their health area to do research. 64% did not have a wordprocessor and 71% did not have a library.
The staff surveyed prefer courses and clinical sessions as their sources of information, which might imply little active searching for information. They believe that they need material and information resources for research work, and that incentives must be offered. Workplaces contain few sources of information.

基层医疗。
瓦伦西亚自治区第13区基层医疗领域的医生、儿科医生、护士和助产士。255名受访者中有163人回复（参与率为63.9%）。
最受欢迎的信息来源是课程和临床会议。83.5%的专业人员在过去两年中参加过某些课程或出席过大会或研讨会。78.9%的工作人员需要在自己图书馆之外寻找书籍或杂志，主要是在健康中心之外寻找。20.8%的人在卫生信息方面没有支出。34.4%的人开展过研究工作：24名医生和9名护士发表过论文。14.7%的人感到其所在的卫生领域经常或总是支持他们开展研究。64%的人没有文字处理软件，71%的人没有图书馆。
接受调查的工作人员更喜欢课程和临床会议作为信息来源，这可能意味着他们较少主动寻找信息。他们认为开展研究工作需要物质和信息资源，并且必须提供激励措施。工作场所的信息来源很少。
