Developing an Information Literacy Instruction Survey for Nursing Students
Emily Roberts
Objective:
This project aims to develop a survey to assess the experience of nursing students across various programs with information literacy (IL) instruction. In addition to collecting data on instructional exposure, the survey will gather students' self-assessed proficiency in core IL skills, with particular attention to identifying misinformation and recognizing personal bias. A key objective is to explore what relationships may exist between self-perceived IL competency and factors such as previous IL instruction, educational background, work experience, and the recency of instruction. The poster will outline the planning and development process involved in creating and piloting the survey.
Methods:
The research draws on a review of existing literature on IL instruction and competency surveys in nursing and other health sciences education. Best practices in survey design—question formulation, validation, pilot testing, and distribution strategies—are used to guide instrument development. Feedback from nursing faculty and librarians informs revisions.
Results:
As research is ongoing, survey results are not yet available. Early insights from the design and planning phase will be shared.
Conclusions:
This work will contribute to a deeper understanding of nursing students’ IL development and supports creating more targeted instruction. It also lays the groundwork for future research exploring nursing students’ relationship to health misinformation.

Exploring Generative AI in Health Sciences: A Qualitative Snapshot from a Multisite Study
Laura J. Hall and Robyn Gleasner
Background: This study is part of a two-year, multi-institutional initiative led by Ithaka S+R examining how generative AI (GAI) is shaping higher education. 19 North American institutions, including the University of New Mexico (UNM), conducted 15–20 semi-structured faculty interviews exploring the impact of GAI on teaching, research, and academic practice. 246 interviews were completed nationally.
Objective: Explore faculty perceptions, uses, and concerns related to GAI in teaching and research to identify support needs.
Participants: 20 faculty across various disciplines at UNM were interviewed. This poster highlights interviews with 7 health sciences from internal medicine, pathology, psychiatry, nursing, radiology, and population health. Research interests among participants included health equity, substance use disorders, diagnostic tools, and machine learning.
Methods: Semi-structured interviews were conducted via Zoom in Spring 2024. Transcripts were analyzed using an emergent, in-vivo coding process to identify themes related to GAI familiarity, use, and needs.
