The attitudes and opinions of 120 medical staff and 22 medical students towards the use of computers in medicine were assessed through a self-administered questionnaire. More than 60% of the respondents have never used computers. Age, sex, nationality and employment status correlate with computer usage. Students, interns, residents and consultants above 50 years of age have poor attitudes towards computers. This category of respondents believe that computers are important but not essential for medical practice. A higher proportion of those who showed positive attitudes to computers had no prior formal training in computer usage. However, they expressed their desire to attend computer training programs. There is a great need to emphasize automation in the undergraduate and postgraduate medical training to cope with improved technology in the practice of medicine. In fact about 90% of the respondents in this study demanded that computer training and applications be introduced in the medicine curriculum either at undergraduate, postgraduate or both levels.
通过一份自填式问卷对120名医务人员和22名医学生对医学中使用计算机的态度和看法进行了评估。超过60%的受访者从未使用过计算机。年龄、性别、国籍和就业状况与计算机使用情况相关。50岁以上的学生、实习生、住院医生和顾问对计算机的态度较差。这类受访者认为计算机对医疗实践很重要但并非必不可少。对计算机持积极态度的人中，有较高比例的人之前没有接受过正式的计算机使用培训。然而，他们表示希望参加计算机培训课程。非常有必要在本科和研究生医学培训中强调自动化，以应对医学实践中不断改进的技术。事实上，本研究中约90%的受访者要求在本科、研究生或两个层面的医学课程中引入计算机培训和应用。
