Information literacy as a social phenomenon in the nursing environment
Year: 2010
Type: conference-paper
Abstract: In the field of health sciences, information literacy (IL) has become a universal educational outcome (Barnard et al. 2005). There is a great interest in health information and it is proactively sought because people are faced with questions about health in almost every aspect of their lives. There also is an increasing demand for information matched by an increasing choice in services and treatments. Bearing these factors in mind, it is no surprise that many people are unsure of which advice to follow and what treatments or products may be beneficial to them (Kickbusch 2008, 101-102).
