客观化 互联网是一种快速增长的通信资源,正开始对医学产生影响,预计互联网很快将对精神病学产生重大影响。对于精神病学家来说,有一个概念框架来理解互联网的许多方面是至关重要的。 方法 使用四层模型,作者描述了互联网的组件以及这些组件如何协同工作来建立通信。他们讨论了该模型的一些实际影响,互联网未来的潜在应用,以及它的使用将带来的一些挑战。 结果 在所描述的互联网模型中,最下面的三层涉及硬件和信息传输方式;第四层是人与人的交互。互联网在精神病学教育、临床护理、研究和管理方面具有巨大的潜力,但需要对个人和组织的期望和反应进行重大调整。这些变化与通信的速度、分散度、音量、隐私和持久性有关。 结论 互联网及相关信息技术的发展是不可避免的,具有多种技术和社会影响。作为精神科医生,我们必须保持有效的信息传播者,并以新的角色和技能适应不断变化的世界,使我们能够最好地服务于我们的专业使命。
OBJECTIVE The Internet is a rapidly growing communications resource that is beginning to have an impact on medicine, and it is anticipated that the Internet will soon have a major effect on psychiatry. It is essential for psychiatrists to have a conceptual framework for understanding the many aspects of the Internet. METHOD Using a four-layer model, the authors describe the components of the Internet and how these work together to establish communication. They discuss some of the practical implications of the model, potential future applications of the Internet, and some of the challenges its use will create. RESULTS In the Internet model described, the bottom three layers involve hardware and modes of information transmission; the fourth layer is human interaction. The Internet has great potential in psychiatric education, clinical care, research, and administration, but major adjustments in individual and organizational expectations and responses will be needed. These changes relate to the speed, dispersion, volume, privacy, and permanence of communication. CONCLUSIONS The growth of the Internet and related information technologies is inevitable and has diverse technical and social implications. As psychiatrists, we must remain effective communicators of information and adjust to a changing world with new roles and skills that will permit us to best serve our professional mission.
