Popis: | Introduction An important aspect of emergency medicine is information management, or the ability to deal effectively with the vast volume of medical information that continues to increase rapidly. Emergency medicine is a significant part of the curriculum for medical students and it is expected that all students who graduate from medical school will be capable of handling emergency situations. Because no study has focused on medical students’ information needs and information seeking behavior in Iran (2000–2007), many questions have arisen such as: What are the barriers to medical students’ information needs? What sources do medical students employ to answer questions? How do students use these information sources to resolve their information needs? and What are the barriers to medical students’ retrieval of information in fast-paced, information-intensive environments such as emergency settings? |
