医疗保健专业人员认为，对患者进行健康教育对于获得最佳结果非常重要。为了进行教育，医疗保健专业人员需要知道患者在哪里寻求信息。健康信息寻求行为（HISB）的概念侧重于患者如何获得信息（策略/行动）。提出理论/模型来描述患者如何获得信息以及他们如何处理可用的信息。卫生和社会政策局最近的研究调查了利用因特网获取卫生信息的情况。虽然互联网被许多人使用，但研究表明，最常见和最可信的信息来源是医疗保健专业人员。个人使用其他健康信息来源（例如，电视、广播、报纸、杂志、互联网和家人/朋友/同事）来补充医疗保健专业人员提供的信息。个人使用补充信息的时间和方式各不相同，并且与许多因素有关，如种族、教育、收入、健康素养和健康状况。利用健康信息也取决于个人的健康取向。作为护士，我们需要利用HISB知识来帮助患者获取健康信息，以优化健康结果。
Healthcare professionals believe that it is important for patients to be educated about health for optimal outcomes. For education to occur, healthcare professionals need to know where patients seek information. The concept of health information-seeking behavior (HISB) focuses on how patients obtain information (strategies/actions). Theories/models are presented to describe how patients obtain information and what they do with information that is available. The most recent HISB research has examined the use of the Internet for health information. Although the Internet is utilized by many individuals, studies show that the most common and trusted source of information is healthcare professionals. Individuals use other sources of health information (e. g., TV, radio, newspaper, magazines, Internet, and family/friends/coworkers) to supplement information provided by healthcare professionals. When and how individuals use supplemental information varies and is associated with many factors such as race, education, income, health literacy, and health status. Utilizing health information also depends on an individual's health orientation. As nurses, we need to utilize knowledge about HISB to assist patients in obtaining health information to optimize health outcomes.
