| Summary: | 碩士 === 臺北醫學大學 === 醫學資訊研究所 === 94 === If we know the attitude and ability of healthcare professionals (HCPs) to provide online consumer health information (CHI), then we can plan how to encourage and support HCPs to increase the quality and amount of CHI.
This study sent HCPs questionnaires via email, and received 47 responses. 76.6% is doctor, 8.5% is nurse; 70.2% is male; 55.3% with the age between 40 and 49. 95.5% agrees that accurate CHI is important for people, and 80.9% agrees that internet is a good access to promote CHI.
80.8% is willing to recommend good CHI, 78.7% is willing to share internet medical bookmarks with other HCPs. We suggest setting up an online community for HCPs to share internet bookmarks, so as to filter good CHI. 70.2% is willing to write CHI, 63.8% is willing to provide medical consultation. We suggest awarding HCPs who provide CHI, ask for the quality of CHI first and the amount of CHI later.
65.2% wishes his/her content meets the criteria of good health website, but only 29.8% knows the criteria, and only 35.7% wishes to attend the contest and win the award. We suggest more promotion and awards for HCPs.
83.0% agrees to reserve some rights for his/her content, and allows others to copy or forward. We suggest using creative commons to spread the CHI quickly.
83.0% wishes for more readers, 66.0% wishes for comments from other HCPs, 68.1% wishes for comments from readers, but 71.7% worries about the spam mails and virus if he/she publicizes email address. We suggest using the filter and forward function of web mail.36.2% typing Chinese more quickly than handwriting. 25.5%, 10.6%, and 6.4% directs health website, blog, and epaper respectively. 73.9% thinks the willingness and amount of writing CHI will increase if he/she can focus on editing content rather than studying about the information technology (IT). We suggest offering HCPs several convenient IT support to increase their willingness and amount of writing CHI.
