Resumo: | Studies in different countries indicate that students and health professionals have difficulties in seeking scientific information for academic and clinical use. This article aims to present the main intellectual stages of information search for clinical and academic purposes, as well as the possibilities and challenges that arise in each of the stages. We used a descriptive qualitative design based on a selective literature review, presentation of practical examples and some solutions to doubts related to health information seeking. The following stages of information search were presented: defining what the researcher wants to know; transforming the PICO research question into a database search strategy; defining where to search for the information; sources used in the health field for clinical and/or academic purposes. The process of information search demands specific intellectual decisions for each clinical or research situation. Therefore, just following information search manuals may not be enough to achieve a satisfactory result. It is necessary to bring to the level of consciousness the objectives of the search, the choice of sources, and the selection of the best information to answer the initial research question. |

El propósito del artículo es presentar las principales etapas intelectuales de la búsqueda de información con fines clínicos y académicos, así como las posibilidades y desafíos que se presentan en cada una de las etapas. Para ello, se utilizó un diseño de investigación descriptivo cualitativo, basado en una revisión selectiva de la literatura, presentación de ejemplos prácticos y algunas soluciones a dudas relacionadas con la búsqueda de información en salud. Se presentaron las siguientes etapas de búsqueda de información: definir lo que el investigador quiere saber; transformar la pregunta de investigación PICO en una estrategia de búsqueda en una base de datos; definir dónde buscar la información; fuentes utilizadas en el campo de la salud con fines clínicos y/o académicos. El proceso de búsqueda de información exige decisiones intelectuales específicas para cada situación clínica o de investigación. Por lo tanto, seguir los manuales de búsqueda de información puede no ser suficiente para lograr un resultado satisfactorio. Es necesario llevar al nivel de conciencia los objetivos de la búsqueda, la elección de las fuentes y la selección de la mejor información para responder a la pregunta inicial de investigación.Estudos em diferentes países indicam que estudantes e profissionais de saúde têm dificuldades em buscar informações científicas para uso acadêmico e clínico.
