As the Personal Digital Assistant (PDA) user population continues to expand, there is a need to design more useful devices and applications to facilitate the utilization of PDAs. We conducted a structured interview study to examine PDA usage and non-usage patterns among physicians. The purpose of this descriptive study was to identify the barriers that impede physicians in their PDA use. A data collection tool was developed to record: 1) how physicians use their PDAs, 2) functions and applications used, 3) functions and applications not used, 4) reasons and examples of why physicians don't use PDAs for those functions, and 5) the recall of specific incidents of PDA usage using Critical Incident Technique (CIT). Interview data were transcribed and analyzed. Study findings and how those barriers can be addressed are discussed.
随着个人数字助理（PDA）用户群体的不断扩大，需要设计出更有用的设备和应用程序，以促进PDA的使用。我们进行了一项结构化访谈研究，以调查医生使用和不使用PDA的模式。这项描述性研究的目的是确定阻碍医生使用PDA的障碍。我们开发了一种数据收集工具，用于记录：1）医生如何使用他们的PDA；2）所使用的功能和应用程序；3）未使用的功能和应用程序；4）医生不使用PDA执行那些功能的原因及示例；5）运用关键事件技术（CIT）回忆PDA使用的具体事件。访谈数据被转录并进行了分析。本文讨论了研究结果以及如何克服这些障碍。
