More than the ABCs: assessing the information needs of school nurses.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

This interview study is a follow-up to a state-wide survey of school nurses' information needs conducted in 2022. Few studies have explored school nurses' information needs, with little focus on searching behaviors or barriers to practice.

Methods

The principal investigator interviewed participants online about their thoughts on survey results, how they find information, and challenges within the profession.

Results

After interviews with school nurses within rural, suburban, and urban districts in the state, the authors found that school nurses required information on finite topics but had little access to subscription resources, little training in critical analysis, and lacked time for professional development.

Conclusion

School nurses within Illino
