The use of web 2.0 in the communication of health professionals in Colombia
Journal Title: index.comunicación - Year 2017, Vol 7, Issue 3
Abstract
This study analyzes the factors that determine the use of Web 2.0 by professionals and students (i.e., residents) in the nursing and medical fields in Colombia when providing health care in the medical centers in which they are employed. Using correlational-explanatory research, this paper conducted interviews of a representative sample of members (n= 424) of the studied population (e=+/- 4.8 and 1-α=0.95). The obtained data reveal a low level of use of currently available digital resources despite the high level of self-perception of this use and a moderately high assessment of the usefulness of these types of resource while performing professional work. Gender, age, having children, socioeconomic status, training level and the years of experience of the members of the study population significantly affect the use of Web 2.0 social-level resources available today. Improve this use and facilitate a change of attitude for it could simplify meeting their responsibilities within the Colombian health-care system.
