abstract: 'Background: Studies have sought to define information needs of health
|
||||
|
||||
workers within very specific settings or projects. Lacking in the
|
||||
|
||||
literature is how hospitals in low-income settings are able to meet the
|
||||
|
||||
information needs of their staff and the use of information
|
||||
|
||||
communication technologies (ICT) in day-to-day information searching.
|
||||
|
||||
Objective: The study aimed to explore where professionals in Kenyan
|
||||
|
||||
hospitals turn to for work-related information in their day-to-day work.
|
||||
|
||||
Additionally, it examined what existing solutions are provided by
|
||||
|
||||
hospitals with regard to provision of best practice care. Lastly, the
|
||||
|
||||
study explored the use of ICT in information searching.
|
||||
|
||||
Design: Data for this study were collected in July 2012.
|
||||
|
||||
Self-administered questionnaires (SAQs) were distributed across 22 study
|
||||
|
||||
hospitals with an aim to get a response from 34 health workers per
|
||||
|
||||
hospital.
|
||||
|
||||
Results: SAQs were collected from 657 health workers. The most popular
|
||||
|
||||
sources of information to guide work were fellow health workers and
|
||||
|
||||
printed guidelines while the least popular were scientific journals. Of
|
||||
|
||||
value to health workers were: national treatment policies, new research
|
||||
|
||||
findings, regular reports from surveillance data, information on costs
|
||||
|
||||
of services and information on their performance of routine clinical
|
||||
|
||||
tasks; however, hospitals only partially met these needs. Barriers to
|
||||
|
||||
accessing information sources included: `not available/difficult to get''
|
||||
|
||||
and `difficult to understand''. ICT use for information seeking was
|
||||
|
||||
reported and with demographic specific differences noted from the
|
||||
|
||||
multivariate logistic regression model; nurses compared to medical
|
||||
|
||||
doctors and older workers were less likely to use ICT for health
|
||||
|
||||
information searching. Barriers to accessing Internet were identified
|
||||
|
||||
as: high costs and the lack of the service at home or at work.
|
||||
|
||||
Conclusions: Hospitals need to provide appropriate information by
|
||||
|
||||
improving information dissemination efforts and providing an enabling
|
||||
|
||||
environment that allows health workers find the information they need
|
||||
|
||||
for best practice.'
