Abstract

AIM

To evaluate the acceptability and utilisation of three electronic textbooks: DynaMed, MD Consult (including FirstConsult) and UpToDate.

METHOD

Two hundred general practitioners accessed three e-textbooks through a web portal. General practitioners completed an electronic survey and used a random selection during a telephone interview to answer four clinical questions: screening, diagnosis, treatment and prognosis.

RESULTS

One hundred and twenty-two GPs made at least one hit through the study website. Eighty-four GPs completed the emailed questionnaire and 77 completed the telephone interview (36% of enrolled, 61% of users). Fifty-one percent of users accessed the e-textbooks less than 10 times over 8 months. There was no significant difference in preference for, or usage levels of, the three e-textbooks. During the telephone interview the three texts performed similarly in terms of time to answer and satisfaction with answer.

CONCLUSION

There was no clear 'winner' between the three e-textbooks.

摘要

目的

评估三种电子教科书——DynaMed、MD Consult（包括FirstConsult）和UpToDate的可接受性和利用率。

方法

200名全科医生通过一个门户网站访问了三种电子教科书。全科医生完成了一项电子调查，并在电话采访中随机抽取回答四个临床问题：筛查、诊断、治疗和预后。

结果

122名全科医生至少通过研究网站进行了一次查询。84名全科医生完成了电子邮件问卷，77名完成了电话采访（占登记人数的36%，用户的61%）。51%的用户在8个月内访问电子教科书的次数少于10次。三种电子教科书在偏好或使用水平上没有显著差异。在电话采访中，这三种文本在回答问题的时间和对答案的满意度方面表现相似。
