在醫療照護過程中，護理人員扮演著「資訊管理者」的角色，不只提供訊息予病患或病患家屬，更提供有關病患的資訊給健康小組的成員，作為健康照護決策的依據。隨著醫學的發達、科技的進步及人類對健康態度的改變，使護理人員必須不斷地參與研究、汲取專業知識，以改善護理工作品質，可見資訊對護理人員的重要性。本研究目的在針對護理人員進行問卷調查，以探求護理人員獨特的資訊需求與資訊尋求模式，並能和繼續教育的資源相配合；其次，瞭解護理人員處理資訊問題的技巧及常利用的資源，圖書館始能提供更符合需求、更有效的資訊服務。

Nurses play a role as information managers in health care delivery. They provide information for medical decision-making to patients and their families, and to the members of health care teams. Information is important to nurses. Along with advances in medicine developments in technology, and changes in attitudes towards health, nurses must continue to participate in research programs, and obtain more professional knowledge to improve the quality of their work.
Through questionnaires, this research examines the information needs and information-seeking behaviors of nurses. Second, the skills needed for information processing and the resources most commonly used by the nurses are also discussed. Therefore, libraries can provide more useful and more efficient information services to nurses.
