Abstract
Background: Information literacy is crucial for 21st-century nurses to develop research questions, evaluate literature, and apply evidence-based practices. Enhancing these skills in nursing students is essential for lifelong learning.
Purpose: This study aims to assess the information literacy levels of nursing students and identify the factors influencing them.
Methods: A descriptive, cross-sectional design was used, with 489 nursing students participating. Data were collected using a "Sociodemographic Information Form" and the "Information Literacy Scale."
Results: The average information literacy score was 3.87±0.54. The highest sub-dimension score was for ethical and legal regulations (4.03±0.60), and the lowest was for defining the need for information (3.77±0.63). The internet was the primary source of information for 56.0% of students. Computer use proficiency was the only factor significantly affecting information literacy.
Conclusion: Improving access to information resources like the internet and computers in universities could enhance nursing education. Strengthening students' computer skills is necessary to increase information literacy awareness. Nursing educators should focus on integrating evidence-based practice into the curriculum and providing relevant practical experiences.
