BACKGROUND
In a literature-based discussion of research on the information behaviors of life and health scientists and health care practitioners, the problem of characterizing this complex literature is discussed. The issue of terminology for this interdisciplinary area is raised. The paucity of models for information seeking behavior that have been tested in a health care population is discussed, as are the frequently used methods of investigation and data collection methods.
METHODS
By analyzing a large number of information behavior research studies, the questions of who does the research and where the research is published are answered. The characteristics of this research are discussed. Studies are cited that investigate the information behavior of physicians, multidisplinary groups of health professionals, medical students and faculty, nurses and other allied health personnel, life scientists, and basic science researchers. Two short case studies--on the diffusion of medical knowledge and on drug information and physician behavior--are used as examples of information behavior research.
CONCLUSIONS
The importance of studying the information behavior of health and life scientists and health care providers is underscored by a discussion of the implications for further study.
背景
在基于文献对生命与健康科学家以及医疗从业者的信息行为研究进行的讨论中，探讨了对这一复杂文献进行特征描述的问题。提出了该跨学科领域的术语问题。讨论了在医疗人群中经过测试的信息寻求行为模型的匮乏，以及常用的调查方法和数据收集方法。
方法
通过分析大量信息行为研究，回答了谁开展研究以及研究发表在何处的问题。讨论了这项研究的特点。引用了一些研究，这些研究调查了医生、多学科医疗专业人员群体、医学生和教师、护士及其他相关卫生人员、生命科学家以及基础科学研究人员的信息行为。两个简短的案例研究——关于医学知识的传播以及药物信息与医生行为——被用作信息行为研究的示例。
结论
通过对进一步研究的意义进行讨论，强调了研究健康与生命科学家以及医疗服务提供者信息行为的重要性。
