Objective: Today's world is full of unknown phenomena. In order to pay attention to such phenomena and understand the world around them, people need information, information that cannot be obtained through search and exploration. A review of research in the field of information needs and information-seeking behavior shows that attention has been paid to specific groups of users in recent years. One of these groups, whose information-seeking behavior is of great importance, is "women" or, in other words, "mothers"; whose health and improving their level of awareness and knowledge have a tremendous impact on society. Pregnancy and the important phenomenon of becoming a parent are one of the most important and life-changing events, which are considered sensitive and challenging periods, especially for women. During this period, women need special care and information. The aim of this study is to identify and rank the factors affecting the information needs of pregnant women.
Method: The present study is applied in terms of purpose and is considered a field study in terms of data collection. The methodology of this study is quantitative and the Delphi Fuzzy and Marcus techniques were used for data analysis. The statistical population includes professors specializing in information science and epistemology. Sampling was conducted based on the expertise of experts in the field of information needs (related to pregnant women) and 9 people were selected as samples. The sample size in this study was determined based on the principle of theoretical saturation. Data collection tools include interviews and two types of questionnaires (expert survey questionnaire and Marcu’s priority survey questionnaire). The importance of the research factors was determined through the opinions of experts. The expert survey questionnaire was conducted based on a review of the literature and has content validity. Also, the reliability and content validity of the research factors were confirmed by using the Lavosh content coefficient and obtaining opinions from experts. The second questionnaire, which was designed using the Marcus method, is standard and its validity has been definitively ensured. To evaluate the research factors, three main indicators were used, including the degree of influence on information behavior, the degree of controllability, and the resources required to manage the factors. These indicators were obtained by filling out a questionnaire by experts. The number of experts (9 people) and the final number of factors (21 factors) were appropriate for this study, and the Marcus Priority Assessment Questionnaire was valid in terms of consistency and reliability.
Findings: Factors affecting the information needs of pregnant women were categorized into 9 components and 33 items based on background reviews and in the form of a questionnaire and were made available to experts. The 33 factors in question were then screened using the fuzzy Delphi method. Factors with a defuzziness score greater than 0.7 were selected for final prioritization with Marcus. 21 factors had a defuzziness score greater than 0.7 and were considered for final analysis. Based on the scores of each factor in Table 7, the social support factors: information about government financial and support programs, information about health and medical services, information about newborn health, information about proper nutrition during pregnancy, information about prenatal education, and information about pregnancy complications have the highest priority, respectively.
Conclusion: The results showed that the analysis of the factors affecting the information needs of pregnant women indicates the high importance of social support during pregnancy. The need for information in these areas, especially during pregnancy, is directly related to the health and well-being of pregnant women and newborns. Each of these factors considers different dimensions of social support that are effective in improving the quality of life and health of this group of people. Therefore, the provision and dissemination of accurate and comprehensive information in these areas can play an effective role in improving the quality of life of pregnant women and newborns.
