The use of mobile devices are ubiquitous in medical-care professional settings, but information on privacy and security concerns of mobile devices for medical students is scarce.
To gain baseline information about third-year medical students' mobile device use and knowledge of privacy and security issues concerning mobile devices.
We surveyed 67 third-year medical students at a Midwestern university on their use of mobile devices and knowledge of how to protect information available through mobile devices. Students were also presented with clinical scenarios to rate their level of concern in regards to privacy and security of information.
The most used features of mobile devices were: voice-to-voice (100%), text messaging (SMS) (94%), Internet (76.9%), and email (69.3%). For locking of one's personal mobile phone, 54.1% never physically lock their phone, and 58% never electronically lock their personal PDA. Scenarios considering definitely privacy concerns include emailing patient information intact (66.7%), and posting de-identified information on YouTube (45.2%) or Facebook (42.2%).
As the ease of sharing data increases with the use of mobile devices, students need more education and training on possible privacy and security risks posed with mobile devices.
移动设备在医疗专业环境中无处不在，但关于移动设备对医学生的隐私和安全问题的信息却很少。
了解三年级医学生使用移动设备的基本情况，以及他们对移动设备隐私和安全问题的了解。
我们对中西部一所大学的 67 名三年级医学生进行了调查，了解他们使用移动设备的情况以及如何保护移动设备上的信息。还向学生们提供了临床场景，让他们对信息的隐私和安全问题表示关注的程度进行评分。
移动设备最常使用的功能包括：语音通话（100%）、短信（SMS）（94%）、互联网（76.9%）和电子邮件（69.3%）。对于锁定个人移动电话，54.1%的人从不物理锁定手机，58%的人从不电子锁定个人 PDA。考虑到绝对隐私问题的场景包括完整地发送患者信息的电子邮件（66.7%），以及将去识别信息发布到 YouTube（45.2%）或 Facebook（42.2%）上。
随着移动设备数据共享的便利性增加，学生需要更多关于移动设备可能带来的隐私和安全风险的教育和培训。
