Sažetak
This paper looks into the information horizons of Croatian family medicine physicians and clinicians with the aim of determining whether they differ from the findings of previous studies. In this pilot-study we used a map drawing technique and follow-up interviews. The sample consisted of ten physicians: (five family medicine physicians and five clinicians) from Osijek, Croatia. Clinicians were interviewed in 2015 and family medicine physicians in 2017. Respondents were asked to place the information sources on mental maps according to their importance and frequency of usage. The results show that clinicians use more information sources than family medicine physicians, which is particularly true for online peer-reviewed sources. Younger physicians use a higher number of information sources than older physicians (they rely heavily on professional literature and peer advice). Viber group messaging was identified as a new channel of communication for family medicine physicians.
