Purpose: The study aimed to investigate personal information management activities among students of Ahvaz Jundishapur University of Medical Sciences. It sought to assess the level of students’ knowledge and skills in personal information management and examine variations across age groups, educational levels, and faculties.
Methodology: The research was conducted using a survey approach based on the Jones model of seven personal information management activities. A sample of 297 students was selected from a population of 1300 using Krejcie-Morgan sampling. Data were collected through a structured questionnaire and analyzed with statistical correlation tests to identify relationships between personal information management, knowledge, and skills.
Findings: Results revealed that students’ knowledge, skills, and personal information management activities were generally at low to moderate levels. Significant differences were observed across faculties, degrees, and age groups. While students demonstrated awareness and basic skills, their engagement in actual management activities was limited. The findings also showed that effective personal information management improved the ability to organize and retrieve information, reduced loss and overflow, and enhanced the selection of relevant resources.
Implications: The study emphasizes the need for targeted educational strategies and training to strengthen students’ competencies in personal information management. Enhancing these skills can improve academic performance and ensure better handling of information resources in educational environments.
