摘要

背景:信息和通信技术(ict)的进步为扩大医疗保健相关服务提供了一个日益增长的平台,但关于代际差异如何解释ict使用和兴趣的不同模式的信息却很少。我们的研究旨在更好地了解代际队列如何影响拉丁美洲阻塞性肺病患者对ict的使用和偏好。材料和方法:我们进行了一项匿名横断面调查研究,涉及拉丁美洲968例阻塞性肺疾病(OLD)患者。患者通过修改版的密歇根问卷对其使用信息通信技术的频率和偏好进行评分。对关联进行卡方检验和校正回归分析。结果:63.6%的参与者可以上网。年轻一代,尤其是Z世代和千禧一代,拥有互联网和智能手机的比例最高,使用信息通信技术的总体频率也最高。基于网络的互联网被发现是所有世代人群寻求疾病信息的主要来源(36.9%)。Z世代和千禧一代对使用Twitter (OR 31.79和8.86)接收健康相关信息感兴趣的几率最高,而电子邮件(OR 4.87和4.86)是通过ict向医生询问疾病相关信息的首选方式。结论:代际队列影响阻塞性肺病患者对ict的使用和偏好。年轻一代人群上网和智能手机拥有率较高,对使用信息通信技术接收和询问健康相关信息的兴趣也较高。

Influence of Generational Cohorts on the Preferences for Information and Communication Technologies in Latin American Patients with Obstructive Lung Diseases.

Influence of Generational Cohorts on the Preferences for Information and Communication Technologies in Latin American Patients with Obstructive Lung Diseases.

Background: Advances in information and communication technologies (ICTs) represent a growing platform for the expansion of healthcare related services, but there is little information on how generational differences might account for distinct patterns of use and interest for ICTs. Our study aims to achieve a better understanding on how generational cohorts might influence the use and preferences for ICTs among patients with obstructive lung diseases in Latin America.

Materials and methods: We conducted an anonymous cross-sectional survey-based study, involving 968 patients with obstructive lung diseases (OLD) in Latin America. Patients rated their frequency of use and preferences of ICTs through a modified version of the Michigan Questionnaire. Chi-square test for association and adjusted regression analyses were performed.

Results: Of all, 63.6% of participants had Internet access. Younger generations, in particular Generation Z and Millennials, had the highest rate of Internet access and smartphone ownership, as well as of overall frequency of ICT use. Web-based Internet was found to be the main source to seek information about the disease (36.9%) across all generational cohorts. Generation Z and Millennials presented the highest odds to be interested in using Twitter (OR 31.79 and 8.86) for receiving health-related information, and email (OR 4.87 and 4.86) as the preferred way to ask physicians information related to their disease through ICTs.

Conclusion: Generational cohorts influence the use and preferences for ICTs among patients with obstructive lung diseases. Younger generational cohorts were associated with higher access to the Internet and smartphone ownership, as well as higher interest for using ICTs to receive and ask for health-related information.

期刊介绍: The overall aim of the International Journal of Telemedicine and Applications is to bring together science and applications of medical practice and medical care at a distance as well as their supporting technologies such as, computing, communications, and networking technologies with emphasis on telemedicine techniques and telemedicine applications. It is directed at practicing engineers, academic researchers, as well as doctors, nurses, etc. Telemedicine is an information technology that enables doctors to perform medical consultations, diagnoses, and treatments, as well as medical education, away from patients. For example, doctors can remotely examine patients via remote viewing monitors and sound devices, and/or sampling physiological data using telecommunication. Telemedicine technology is applied to areas of emergency healthcare, videoconsulting, telecardiology, telepathology, teledermatology, teleophthalmology, teleoncology, telepsychiatry, teledentistry, etc. International Journal of Telemedicine and Applications will highlight the continued growth and new challenges in telemedicine, applications, and their supporting technologies, for both application development and basic research. Papers should emphasize original results or case studies relating to the theory and/or applications of telemedicine. Tutorial papers, especially those emphasizing multidisciplinary views of telemedicine, are also welcome. International Journal of Telemedicine and Applications employs a paperless, electronic submission and evaluation system to promote a rapid turnaround in the peer-review process.
