DEVELOPMENT OF THE AUTOMATED SYSTEM USING A FACSIMILE FOR PROVIDING NURSING LITERATURE (PRIMARY DOCUMENTS)

为提升护理教育与实务的品质，在教育与医疗机构提供充足的文献资料是非常重要的。然而，由于不是所有类型的技术期刊都可以在一个普通的设施中保留，所需的文献是从另一个设施获得的。平均需要两周的时间，直到通过研究者编辑的日本护理文献（涵盖约450种期刊）的复制服务获得文献。为了缩短这一时间，开发了一个自动化系统，利用传真迅速分发文献（原始文件）。利用该系统获取文献的过程如下：1.希望获得文献的人使用传真电话致电文献服务中心; 2.个人电脑检测到的呼叫是收到与传真调制解调器，并告诉人，他或她正在连接到中心; 3。该人用推送电话输入文献编号; 4.中心的个人电脑用语音回答输入的号码。如果号码是OK，人按下“0“，并按下接收按钮后，哔哔声; 5.个人计算机在文献存储器中搜索所需文献，并通过传真调制解调器自动发送其数据; 6.文献到达请求者的传真。（文献存储器包含用图像扫描仪读取的图形数据。）根据对用户的调查，重要的是以更高的速度发布文献，并有计算机化的索引来检索文献。为了符合这些要求，我们对检索条目的约4,500个术语进行了审查和简化，并从这4,500个术语中选择了305个我们认为是护理专业术语的术语，并使其在护理科学结构中具有重要意义，以便在文献利用中值得参考。

To promote the quality of nursing education and practice, it is important to provide the sufficient literature in educational and health care facilities. However since not all sorts of technical journals can be reserved in a general facility, required literature is acquired from another facility. Two weeks are taken in average until the literature is acquired through a copy service of the Japanese Nursing Literature, (covering about 450 journals, ) edited by the investigators. To shorten this period, an automated system is developed to distribute literature (primary documents) promptly using a facsimile. The procedure for acquiring the literature with this system is as follows : 1. A person who wishes to obtain literature calls the literature service center using a fax telephone ; 2. The personal computer detects the call that is received with the fax modem and tells the person that he or she is being connected to the center ; 3. The person enters the literature number with the push phone ; 4. The personal computer in the center answers the input number with voice. If the number is OK,the person presses "0, " and presses the receive button after a beep ; 5. The personal computer searches literature memory for the desired literature, and sends its data automatically via the fax modem ; 6. The literature arrives at the requester's fax. (Literature memory contains the graphic data that is read with an image scanner.)According to a survey of the users, it is important to issue the Literature at higher speeds and to have computerized index to retrieve the literature. To comply with these requirements, we reviewed and simplified the total of about 4,500 terms that are used to retrieve the items.Also, from these 4,500 terms, we selected 305 terms that we deemed the technical terms in nursing and made them significant in the structure of the nursing science so that they are worth referencing in literature utilization.
