A Conceptual Model of Nursing Information Behavior (NIB). Edition No. 1
VDM Publishing House, Aug 2008, Pages: 292
What is nursing information behavior (NIB)? How do
home care nurses--working independently in the
community--gather, access, manage and use information?
The author describes the professional environment
space (PES) of the home care nurse as a wellspring of
information, where both nurse and client interact and
collaborate to maintain health and a sense of
well-being as their mutual goal. There are factors,
variables and situations in this PES that influence
the nursing information behavior of home care nurses.
An analysis of this behavior is included, using input
from home care nurses working in a large metropolitan
home care agency. The result is a framework of
nursing information behavior that will guide other
nursing professionals understand, define and
articulate their own; assist those in academia to
conceptualize and teach this concept to nurses and
students of nursing; provide direction to home care
managers and administrators; and, serve as a tool
when formulating community health nursing practice
standards and policy, and when designing information
technology, software and systems for use in home care.
