Abstract

Physicians have information needs related to academic research and clinical practice but encounter difficulties seeking appropriate medical resources and information. The goal of this study is to develop a search system to support Korean physicians’ information needs. To access sources to meet the identified need, in-depth interviews were conducted, and MediSearching, a new search system, was developed accordingly. To verify its usefulness and to obtain users’ suggestions, interviews were conducted and feedback was solicited via collected test searches. The initial set of interviews indicated that physicians’ information needs and search behaviors differed by type of hospital and clinical department. Physicians in university hospitals with a greater need for research materials searched for academic articles, whereas physicians in specialty hospitals or primary care clinics with a stronger need for materials related to clinical practice asked their colleagues for information. Consequently, MediSearching was designed to satisfy both groups’ needs, and the test search provided useful search results compared with existing services. Korean physicians have previously had to repeat their search process on separate sites that provide different services according to type of information and search method. MediSearching may reduce this inconvenience and add documents in various formats and languages.

노인 당뇨병 환자들의 정보행태를 이해하기 위하여 선행연구 고찰을 통해 관련요인을 도출하고 측정도구를 설계하여, B병원에서 치료 중인 60세 이상 당뇨병 환자들을 대상으로 구조화된 면접조사를 수행하였다(N=543). 질환에 대한 인식, 건강정보이해능력, 정보요구, 정보추구, 정보이용, 정보원 이용 애로사항, 선호 정보서비스, 개인적 배경에 대한 기본통계량과 요인간의 관계를 분석하고 가설검증을 통하여 영향요인을 구명하였다. 노인 당뇨병 환자들은 질환에 대한 인식과 건강정보이해능력이 낮으며, 질환에 대한 인식은 정보요구도, 정보이용도와 상관관계가 있고, 건강정보이해능력은 정보이용도와 상관관계가 있다. 교육경험과 유병기간에 따라 정보요구도와 정보이용도에 차이가 있고, 정보환경, 성별, 나이, 학력에 따라 정보이용도에 차이가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 연구결과를 바탕으로 질환인식 캠페인 전개, 정보지원시설 홍보활동, 집단별 정보제공과 서비스 방안 등을 제언하였다.

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to understand information behavior of older adults with diabetes. After reviewing previous research, related factors are identified and a questionnaire was devised. The structured interview was administered to the aged 60 and over in the B hospital (N=543). Data about awareness of the disease, health literacy, information environment, information need, information seeking, information use, information service, and personal background are collected and analyzed descriptively. Relationship between variables are examined and hypotheses are tested to find factors affecting information behavior. The level of the awareness of the disease and health literacy appeared to be low. It is proved that awareness of the disease is a factor affecting information need and information use. Health literacy affects information use. There is a statistical significant difference between information need and information use by disease education and duration. There is also a statistical significant difference between information use among groups divided by information environment, sex, age, and education. Based on the results, campaign to raise disease awareness, marketing promotion about information support facilities, customized information service for older adults are suggested.

공연예술 콘텐츠의 효과적인 검색은 특화된 메타데이터를 근간으로 다양한 접근점을 제공할 때 이루어진다. 본 연구는 이용자가 찾고자하는 공연예술 콘텐츠에 대한 정확한 지식이 없더라도 쉽게 콘텐츠를 효율적으로 찾을 수 있는 검색 시스템을 개발하는데 목적이 있다. 이를 위하여 본 연구는 공연예술 국내외 사이트가 제공하고 있는 접근점 요소와 내비게이션 요소를 파악하고 연극, 무용 음악을 전공하는 대학생들이 원하는 공연예술 검색 접근점 및 브라우징 요소를 분석하였다. 이와 같은 분석을 토대로 공연예술 콘텐츠 검색에 적합한 9개 패싯요소 즉, ‘공연예술장르’, ‘공연예술가’, ‘공연예술단체’, ‘자료유형’, ‘언어’, ‘주대상관객’, ‘이벤트’, ‘장소’, ‘시기’를 제안하였다. 또한, 다각적인 패싯 내비게이션이 가능하도록 공연예술 콘텐츠 기술요소 27개를 선정하였고 내비게이션이 이루어질 수 있는 인터페이스를 설계하였다. 이를 근거로 하여 3,360건의 실험 데이터를 구축하고 실제 검색 시스템을 구축하였다. 마지막으로 전문가의 심층 인터뷰 결과, 본 연구에서 구축한 시스템이 이용자가 원하는 패싯을 제공하여 만족스러운 브라우징을 수행할 수 있었으며 정보조우가 가능한 인터페이스임을 증명하였다. 공연예술 도메인에서 패싯 내비게이션 검색 기법의 응용은 이용자의 요구를 충족시키며 더 나아가 공연예술 정보에의 접근 및 활용에 도움을 줄 수 있을 것으로 본다.

Abstract

The effective searching for performing arts contents can be achieved by providing various access points and searching methods based on specialized metadata. The purpose of this study is to develop a faceted navigation interface which user could effectively and efficiently retrieve performing arts contents even if the users do not know accurate descriptive information about them. Therefore, the study, first, investigated search access points and navigation items providing by other the performing arts retrieval systems and to analyze information seeking behaviors of university students who major in music, dance and theater. And then, the study proposed the 36 facets with the 9 main facet categories suitable for performing arts and also proposed 27 descriptive elements suitable for performing arts contents. Finally, the study developed the performing arts contents retrieval system based faceted navigation interface with 3,360 experimental data and conducted an in-depth interview in terms of usability, serendipity, and efficiency. The applying the faceted navigations for searching performing arts contents will help users access and utilize them in the retrieval system and moreover satisfy user demands.
