Abstract |
Reviews existing research literature to examine health-care assistants'(HCA) and other paid caregivers' information-seeking behaviour. e.g. identifying a need for information; and seeking, avoiding or sharing information. Identifies four social contexts for the behaviour: home health-care, residential dementia care, nursing homes, and acute hospital environments. Garners this data to support registered nurses (RN) who delegate direct care to a growing body of unregistered health-care assistants. Highlights the influence that situational factors and social contexts have on information behaviours. |

Abstract |
Employs the concept of 'life in the round', drawn from social network theory and the model of information dissemination, including the supporting theories of information poverty and normative behaviours, to explore the information behaviours of marginalised populations participating in small institutionalised worlds. Uses the context of residential aged care as an exemplar for the application of the theory of 'life in the round' and provides examples to support application of these concepts to the information practices of health-care assistants. |
