Abstract

U suvremeno doba svakom pojedincu pa tako i vlasnicima kućnih ljubimaca potrebne su informacije kako bi mogli preuzeti aktivnu ulogu za njihovu zdravstvenu skrb. Budući da se informacijsko ponašanje mijenja te je uvjetovano informacijskim potrebama, zanimalo nas je informacijsko ponašanje vlasnika kućnih ljubimaca u kontekstu informiranja o zdravlju i zaštiti njihovih ljubimaca.
U prvom dijelu rada objašnjavaju se termini informacijskog ponašanja prema Wilsonu te početci istraživanja informacijskog ponašanja. Budući da mu je srodno područje informacijska pismenost, dio je posvećen tom području te vezi tih dvaju područja. Nadalje, dio rada odnosi se na dobrobiti koje vlasnici imaju od svojih ljubimaca te na njihovu međusobnu privrženost.
U drugom dijelu rada analizira se istraživanje informacijskog ponašanja vlasnika kućnih ljubimaca pri traženju informacija o zdravlju i zaštiti njihovih ljubimaca, prikazani su cilj, svrha, hipoteza, metode te rezultati i rasprava. Na kraju je zaključak.

Abstract (english)

Today, every individual, including pet owners, needs information so that they can take an active role in their pets’ health care. As information behavior changes over time and is conditioned by informational changes, we are interested in information behavior of pet owners in the context of seeking information about the health and protection of their pets.
In the first part of the paper, we explain the terms used in studying information behavior according to Wilson, as well as the beginnings of research on information behavior. As information literacy is related to information behavior, one part of the paper is dedicated to this area and the relation between these two areas. After that, one part of the paper refers to the benefits that owners receive from their pets and to their mutual attachment.
In the second part, we analyze a survey about information behavior of pet owners in searching information about their pets’ health and protection. In this part we show the aim, hypothesis, methods, results, and discussion. In the last part, we present the conclusion.
