Burrow, M., Gilmour, J., & Cook, C. (2018). The information behaviour of health care assistants: a literature review. Nursing Praxis in New Zealand, 34(3). Retrieved April 25, 2024, from www.nursingpraxis.org 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.
