INFORMATION NEEDS OF DOCTORS OF PRIMARY CAR
In the article, results of the research in information needs carried out among doctors of primary healthcare in 21 regions of Russia are submitted. The research was performed by using a method of questioning at workshops and conferences and also at working places (in polyclinics and GP doctors offices).The total number of doctors participated in the interrogation was 429. The research has revealed an unsatisfactory state of the current provision of primary care doctors with the scientific information. Practically, mainly primary health care doctors working in the big cities, where conferences and workshops are regularly carried out, have opportunities of obtaining new authentic scientific information. The doctors working in small settlements are distanced from such a system of continuous training because of the economic reasons and shortage of time. Measures for improving information provision of this category of medical workers are offered.
