Experts were selected purposefully by snowball method. A structured questionnaire was used to collect data. Fuzzy Delphi method and interpretive structural modeling and Excel software were used for data analysis. Findings: The results showed that there are 11 obstacles in the green innovation of hospitals, including managerial obstacles, customers, laws and regulations, organizational, green human capital, information, finance, supply chain partners, competitors, technology and weak research and development. Of these obstacles, laws and regulations, competitors and customers are the most effective obstacles in moving towards green innovation. Conclusion: According to the results, organizational barriers, supply chain partners, laws and regulations, customers and competitors are independent barriers that affect other barriers and should be prioritized to be resolved.

Introduction: Nowadays, with the abundance of information and advancement in information and communication technologies, unawareness of properly utilizing these facilities can lead to baseless and unscientific information. This is a significant factor in the development and growth of information anorexia, even compared to valid information produced through information and communication technologies. This research aims to determine the relationship between information anorexia and acceptance of information technologies among the staff of the Bushehr University of Medical Sciences in the year 2023.Methodology: This study is a descriptive-analytical cross-sectional study conducted on 200 university staff members of the Bushehr University of Medical Sciences selected using a stratified random sampling method. Data collection was done using two questionnaires on information anorexia and acceptance of information technologies. Descriptive statistics including mean, frequency, and standard deviation were used, as well as inferential statistics including independent t-test, Pearson correlation coefficient, and one-way analysis of variance to answer the research questions.Findings: The findings of this study showed that overall, there was no significant relationship between the information anorexia of the staff and their readiness to accept information technologies (P-value > 0.05). However, there was a significant relationship between the dimensions of information apathy and acceptance of information technologies (P-value < 0.05). Additionally, the results indicated that the information anorexia of the staff was moderately high. Furthermore, there was a significant relationship between the variables of age and gender with information anorexia.Conclusion: Considering the high level of information apathy among the staff, measures should be taken to strengthen skills such as information literacy, time management, personal information management, and managing and controlling emotions and anxiety among the staff to help the human resources face the information presented through information and communication technologies with fewer challenges.

Objective: Information-seeking behavior of individuals has been greatly influenced by the emergence of digital libraries. The objective of this research was to examine the factor affecting information-seeking behavior of medical students when utilizing the digital library. Methods: This descriptive-analytical study, through the utilization of Morgan table and stratified random sampling techniques, 234 student at Abadan University of medical sciences was chosen to partake in the research. Data collection was carried out using an information seeking behavior. Statistical analysis was conducted using SPSS version 21 software and frequency, one-sample t test, independent t test, and ANOVA analysis of variance calculated at a significance level of 0.05.Results: Highest averages were observed for the flow of experience, usefulness, and ease of use. The average information-seeking behavior of students was calculated to be 3.38, with a standard deviation of 0.68. A notable distinction was observed among the three components, self-efficacy in obtaining information, information seeking, and information need, in relation to the information-seeking behavior of students in the digital library. However, no significant differences were found between gender, age, and field of study of students in terms of their attitude towards information-seeking behavior in the digital library.Conclusion: The advancement in digital library usage depend on adapting to the information needs and information-seeking behaviors of users to maximize productivity.
