中文摘要 | 田野調查與服務是公共衛生的重要工作,而新興個人數位助理(Personal Digital Assistant, PDA)正符合其在機動與資料蒐集方面的需求。但相較於醫療應用上的發展,PDA在公共衛生領域上的應用仍相當有限。本研究的目的便在開發公衛工作的PDA支援套件,並討論其應用潛力與挑戰。本研究針對社區預防醫學調查工作開發出一套以PDA支援套件為主,配合工作站與網路的資訊支援系統。開發工具含Pendragon Forms,HandMap Pro,Mapit,MakePDB,Pendragron Browser開發套件與NS Basic程式設計語言。開發功能含問卷調查、地圖、隨身參考與記錄手冊、網路資訊交換,並以VB開發桌上端相配合之同步與資料庫管理程式。研究結果顯示上,在核心問卷部份我們設計的兩種版本中,第一種使用商業開發軟體,在外觀上雖較簡潔,但在處理題數多、題目長、依情境跳選答題的問卷上功能相當受限。第二種則為因應前項困難所自行開發的問卷設計與執行工具,在設計上,每一畫面僅包含一個題目,相當簡潔;在電子地圖上,依需要製作了金門地區的電子地圖;在第三項隨身參考與記錄手冊上,我們自行開發受訪對象個人資料與記錄觀察手冊;在網路資訊交換方面,我們使用將網站資訊下載至PDA然後離線瀏覽之模式;在後端資料庫管理上,我們則利用Palm公司提供的同步程式開發工具開發PDA資料上傳VB資料庫管理應用程式,然後存到Access 2000資料庫。對於PDA在提升公衛資料管理或服務效率與成效上的潛在貢獻,我們相當樂觀。不過未來要能真正發揮其實用價值,突破「界面設計」限制,提高可用性,將是首要課題,而其真正應用價值則需能和後端資料中心結合。而以Palm為平台的PDA因其簡單、價格經濟,相當適合公衛應用。至於PDA特殊的界面與操作方式,系統實用性的實證檢視,則將是未來研究重點。 |
英文摘要 | Field study is a fundamental research and service model in the public health. It requires mobility and information processing and management, which could be potentially fulfilled by the personal digital assistant (PDA). However, the applications of PDA in the public health still are not popular enough, compared with so many in medicines. The purposes of this study were to develop a package of PDA applications for the field services in the community preventive medicine and to examine the potentials of PDA in the public health. We used commercial development tools as well as Basic-like programming languages, NS Basic and VB, to specially make main applications: questionnaire maker and viewer, GIS, pocket book of the interviewees, a web site of information center for to support the off-line browse by PDA, and a conduit to backup data to the desktop Access database. Though we accomplished the design of functions required in this study, we found many practical difficulties which were highly related to the "user interface" issue. We also found that the real value of PDA comes from its ability of connecting to the backend information systems through synchronization. Due to its simplicity and affordability, the Palm-based PDA was recommended for the use in the Public Health. It is necessary to do further evaluation studies for better understanding and realizing the empirical values of PDA. |
