摘要

目的本研究旨在评估乌干达阿加汗大学护理专业学生的信息素养经历和能力。对信息素养（IL）项目进行了审查，以确定学生从图书馆工作人员那里获得的能力，并考察信息素养能力对图书馆信息资源有效利用的贡献。设计/方法/方法采用定性描述性研究设计来描述参与者在IL能力方面的经历。研究对象包括35名在第二年攻读护理科学文凭的护理专业学生。目的性抽样仅用于确定接受过IL培训的二年级文凭学生。该研究采用了个人访谈和开放式问卷调查。研究发现，获得一定IL能力的护理专业学生可以很容易地找到所需的信息；IL并没有作为一个独立的课程单元整合到课程中，而是在一些护理课程单元中嵌入了一些元素，如研究、护理信息学和学术写作。此外，没有完善的IL课程用于教授该科目。该研究还指出，在AKU教授IL时，教员和图书馆员之间的合作程度最低。调查结果显示，IL项目的交付存在差距。独创性/价值本研究通过汇集三个相关人群的当前观点和意见，对学术界在教学和学生获得IL技能方面面临的挑战提出了更全面的看法，从而扩展了有关该主题的文献。

Exploring experiences regarding information literacy competencies among nursing students at Aga Khan University, Uganda

PurposeThe study sought to assess and evaluate the information literacy experiences and competencies of nursing students at Aga Khan University, Uganda. A review of information literacy (IL) programs was done to establish the competencies students acquired from the library staff and examine the contribution of IL competencies to the effective utilization of library information resources.Design/methodology/approachA qualitative descriptive research design was used to describe the participants' experiences regarding IL competencies. The study population included 35 nursing students pursuing a diploma of science in nursing in the second year of study. Purposive sampling was utilized to identify only second-year diploma students who had undertaken the IL training. The study utilized individual interviews and open-ended questionnaires.FindingsThe study found that nursing students who attained some IL competencies could easily locate the required information; IL was not integrated into the curriculum as a stand-alone course unit, but rather a few elements were embedded in some of the nursing course units like research, nursing informatics and academic writing. Furthermore, there was no well-developed IL curriculum used for teaching the subject. The study also noted that there was a minimum collaboration between the faculty and librarians in teaching IL at AKU. Findings showed there was a gap in the IL program delivery.Originality/valueThis study extends the literature on the subject by bringing together current views and opinions of the three populations involved to present a more comprehensive view of the challenges academia faces regarding teaching and student acquisition of IL skills.
