An interesting project which is showcased (& partially supported by) and being discussed by the HIFA (Healthcare Information For All) community at the moment: mHealth-Innovate: Exploring healthcare workers informal use of personal mobile phones - Research findings and implications for policy and practice. The researchers did a systematic review and carried out qualitative studies in Uganda. "Informal use" means that healthcare workers are using their own personal phones to carry out various functions to do with caring for patients.
There is a short video (n.b. the embedded video tells me I need to sign into Vimeo, but if you follow the link to https://zenodo.org/records/15012090 you don't have to sign in) and a summary report.
Obviously this gives a lot of insight into information behaviour etc. and it is international in scope.
