Diabetes related information seeking a systematic review

Kuske S

Information-seeking behaviour is necessary to improve knowledge on diabetes therapy and complications. Combined with other self-management skills and autonomous handling of the disease, it is essential for achieving treatment targets. However, a systematic review addressing this topic is lacking. The aims of this systematic review were to identify and analyse existing knowledge of informationseeking behaviour: types informationseeking behaviour, information sources, the content of searched information, and associated variables that may affect information-seeking behavior.
