Introduction: The quality of nurses' clinical performance has always been one of the concerns of the health system. Therefore, the aim of this study was to determine the relationship between information literacy and clinical performance of nurses working in special departments of selected hospitals of Tehran University of Medical Sciences in 1402.
Research method: The current research is descriptive-cross-sectional and is a type of correlational study. The statistical population of this research includes nurses working in the special departments of Imam Khomeini Hospital Complex affiliated to Tehran University of Medical Sciences. In this research, 265 questionnaires were analyzed, descriptive statistics such as absolute and relative frequency and mean and statistical tests such as Pearson's correlation coefficient were used in SPSS software version 25 for data analysis. The tool for data collection was a three-part questionnaire including personal information, level of information literacy and measuring the quality of health care provision.
Findings: The results showed that the majority of the studied units had average clinical performance, and the information literacy of the participants was weak and moderate. The average performance score of the research units was 59.3±11.3 and their average information literacy was 53.3±7.2. The results of the present study showed that there is a significant positive relationship between information literacy and clinical practice (P < 0.05) as well as a significant relationship between information literacy and the areas of clinical judgment, care activities, clinical review and facilitation in learning clinical practice.
