A Study of Medical Students’ Intention to Use Medical Database with Mobile Devices

本研究以問卷調查的方式，瞭解醫學系學生在醫學資料庫和行動裝置的使用狀況，並進一步瞭解醫學系學生利用行動裝置使用醫學資料庫的使用意願。同時從便利性、知覺有用性與知覺好用性等三方面了解影響醫學系學生以行動裝置使用醫學資料庫的使用意願。 研究結果發現，使用過醫學資料庫的填答者大多在特定地點使用醫學資料庫，且以使用電腦版網頁介面為主。並認為實證醫學資料庫獲得醫學知識的有用程度高於文獻型醫學資料庫。此次研究中，填答者普遍使用行動裝置，但是仍有填答者未使用行動裝置獲得醫學相關知識的情形。而填答者的年級與學校別影響他們使用醫學資料庫與行動裝置行為甚鉅。從便利性、知覺有用性與知覺好用性等三方面了解影響醫學系學生以行動裝置使用醫學資料庫意願的研究結果發現，「便利性」對「知覺有用性」有顯著影響；「知覺好用性」對「知覺有用性」有顯著影響；「知覺有用性」對「使用意願」有顯著影響；「知覺有用性」對「使用意願」有顯著影響；「便利性」對「使用意願」沒有顯著影響。 根據此次研究結果，本研究提出四點建議，作為大學圖書館與醫學圖書館未來提供相關服務之參考，建議為以下：購買適用於行動裝置的醫學資料庫App、注重行動素養與推廣工作、依照年級設計實證醫學資料庫利用課程、加強醫學系學生的資訊素養教育。The research aim to study medical students’ behavior in using medical database and mobile devices via questionnaire survey, and analyze intention to use medical database with mobile devices. There are three factors of this study, including Convenience, Perceived Usefulness and Perceived Ease of Use, to measure medical students’ intention to use medical database with mobile devices. Most respondents used medical database at specific place, and desktop website was the interface they mainly used. They thought the Evidence-Based Medicine Database is more useful than Primary Database. All the respondents owned mobile device and used it very often, but among them there are still a few people who didn’t use mobile devices to access medical information. We found that the grades and schools of medical students affected their behavior in using medical database and mobile devices also. The study used three factors to measure medical students’ intention to use medical database with mobile devices, and results as below. (1) “Convenience” has significant impact on “Perceived Usefulness”. (2) “Perceived Ease of Use” has significant impact on “Perceived Usefulness”. (3) “Perceived Ease of Use” has significant impact on “Intention to Use”. (4) “Perceived Usefulness” has significant impact on “Intention to Use”. (5) “Convenience” has no significant impact on “Intention to Use”. According to these results, there are four suggestions for university libraries and medical libraries to consider. These four suggestions include: (1) purchasing more medical database apps that can be used in mobile devices; (2) emphasizing medical students’ mobile literacy and libraries’ promotion activities; (3) designing Evidence-Based Medicine Database instructions according to medical students’ grades; (4) strengthening instruction on information literacy for medical students
