By determining the total number of students (1300 people) and using Krejcie-Morgan table, the approximate number of 297 students was determined. Data were collected using an adjacent questionnaire (2013). Pearson and Spearman correlation tests and SPSS 22 statistical software were used to analyze the data.Regarding the data set and content with three indicators of knowledge, skills and personal information management, a face-to-face questionnaire was distributed.

Among these factors, there was a significant relationship between different faculties and degrees at the significance level of 0.05 and there was a significant relationship among students with different age groups. In this study, it was found that seven activities ultimately improved the performance of individuals in the proper management of information resources and selecting the information they needed. And their skills showed that although students had high knowledge and skills in personal information management, the level of their activities was declining.
Conclusion: The results showed that the status of personal information management of students of Ahvaz Jundishapur University of Medical Sciences had a positive and significant effect on students' knowledge and skills.
