Abstract

Introduction: INFORMATION LITERACY and CRITICAL THINKING are very important for medical STUDENTs because of the importance of lifelong learning and being up-to-date. This study aimed at determining INFORMATION LITERACY and CRITICAL THINKING in STUDENTs of School of Nursing, Midwifery, and Paramedicine College of Guilan University of Medical Sciences (GUMS).Methods: In this analytic cross-sectional study, 165 undergraduate STUDENTs of Radio-technology, Nursing, Medical laboratory, Midwifery, Anesthesiology and Operation Technology were selected from School of Nursing, Midwifery and Paramedicine College affiliated to GUMS using the random sampling of comparative classification during 2016-2017. Data were collected by a demographic, standard questionnaire to assess INFORMATION LITERACY based on Association of College and Research Libraries (ACRL) and the California CRITICAL THINKING Inventory (CCTST-B). Then, the data were analyzed using sample t-test, one-way ANOVA and Pearson tests by the SPSS software version 16. A P-value less than 0.05 was considered statistically significant.Results: The mean scores of CRITICAL THINKING and INFORMATION LITERACY were 22.78 ± 9.5 and 24.53 ± 7.054, respectively. The scores of Operating Technologists and Midwifery were more than others, respectively. Total scores of INFORMATION LITERACY and the various disciplines involved were a significant relationship (P=0.001). Although there was no significant relationship between the overall means of INFORMATION LITERACY and CRITICAL THINKING (P=0.093), but effective and efficient access, the ability to critically evaluative information and resources and integrated knowledge base and value system and the ability to understand, access and use based on ethical and legal principles as INFORMATION LITERACY areas had a significant relationship with the areas of CRITICAL THINKING (P<0.05).Conclusions: INFORMATION LITERACY and CRITICAL THINKING are evaluated to be low in the subunits. Considering to the importance of two issues of CRITICAL THINKING and INFORMATION LITERACY in academic developing and professional achievements, experts and policy makers related to education should emphasize on teaching of these two areas more.
