Read More Background: Patients, as one of the most prominent groups requiring health‑based information,encounter numerous problems in order to obtain these pieces of information and apply them. Theaim of this study was to determine the information‑seeking behavior of cardiovascular patients whowere hospitalized in Isfahan University of Medical Sciences hospitals. Materials and Methods: Thisis a survey research. The population consisted of all patients with cardiovascular disease whowere hospitalized in the hospitals of Isfahan University of Medical Sciences during 2012.According to the statistics, the number of patients was 6000. The sample size was determinedbased on the formula of Cochran; 400 patients were randomly selected. Data were collectedby researcher‑made questionnaire. Two‑level descriptive statistics and inferential statistics wereused for analysis. Results: The data showed that the awareness of the probability to recoverand finding appropriate medical care centers were the most significant informational needs.The practitioners, television, and radio were used more than the other informational resources.Lack of familiarity to medical terminologies and unaccountability of medical staff were the majorobstacles faced by the patients to obtain information. The results also showed that there was nosignificant relationship between the patients’ gender and information‑seeking behavior, whereasthere was a significant relationship between the demographic features (age, education, place ofresidence) and information‑seeking behavior. Conclusion: Giving information about health to thepatients can help them to control their disease. Appropriate methods and ways should be usedbased on patients’ willingness. Despite the variety of information resources, patients expressedmedical staff as the best source for getting health information. Information‑seeking behavior ofthe patients was found to be influenced by different demographic and environmental factors.
