Abstract

Purpose: This descriptive research study aimed to investigate the effect of social networks and information literacy competency on the job competency of community health practitioners. Methods: The participants of this study were 170 community health practitioners working in the southern and northern regions of J, Korea. Data collection was carried out from March 6, 2018, to April 17, 2018, using a structured self-report questionnaire. Data were analyzed using the SPSS / WIN 23.0 statistical program. Results: Information literacy competency showed 45.5% explanatory power for job competency. However, there was no significant relationship between social networks and job competency. Conclusion: It is helpful to establish a systematic education system for job training and to expand educational opportunities using varied methods like online or mobile-based teaching to increase the job competency of community health practitioners.
