Impact of experience of psychiatrists and psychiatry residents regarding electronic communication and social networking on internet use patterns: a questionnaire survey for developing e-professionalism in South Korea

BackgroundThe development of technology, novel communication, and social networking can positively or negatively affect the therapeutic alliance between patients and psychiatrists. We conducted this study to identify Internet use patterns of psychiatrists and psychiatry residents in South Korea and to provide basic data for developing e-professionalism.MethodsIn this questionnaire survey included a total of 250 participants, of which 195 (78%) completed the questionnaire. Questions included demographics, use of email, web searches, personal and professional use of websites and social networking, and negative and positive experiences of electronic communication and social networking. We confirmed the correlation between experience and use patterns of psychiatrists’ electronic communication and social networking.ResultsA total of 129 participants (66.2%) reported that they posted their personal or professional content online, 112 (57.9%) had received patients’ requests through electronic communication or social networking, and 120 (61.4%) had communicated with patients via electronic communication or social networking. In total, 170 participants (87.2%) reported that they were worried about the negative consequences of using electronic communication and social networking, and 180 (92.3%) indicated they were not educated about electronic communication or social networking.ConclusionIn order to reduce the negative effects of electronic communication and social networking, we need guidelines that are appropriate for the situation in South Korea. Furthermore, future research will need to identify and suggest solutions for negative experiences of electronic communication and social networking that may affect the relationship between patients and physicians.

The Effects of Electronic Communication on American Sign Language

Technological and language innovation often flow in concert with one another. Casual observation by researchers has shown that electronic communication memes, in the form of abbreviations, have found their way into spoken English. This study focuses on the current use of electronic modes of communication, such as cell smartphones, and e-mail, and how they affect American Sign Language. This study explores Deaf ASL users' perceptions of the extent that these memes have entered their signed lexicon. While the research focuses on social factors of age and gender in order to compare the use of these abbreviations by specific groups.

The Effect of Electronic Communication Among Franchisees on Franchisee Compliance

The virtual organization has emerged as a result of the availability of information technology. One business model well suited to the virtual form is franchising. Since the success of franchise organizations is highly dependent on communication effectiveness, these organizations are beginning to adopt technologynamely, private corporate networks called intranets and extranetsto support electronic communication. This paper reports the results of an empirical study on the effects of lateral electronic communicationsi.e., the formation of virtual community among franchiseeson a strategic outcome that is important to franchisors, namely, franchisee compliance. The survey results indicate that communication frequency among franchisees increases with the existence of a lateral communication channel. Previous research suggests that electronic communication facilitates lateral communication by providing an asynchronous media choice, making communication on such channels more frequent because they are more convenient. Franchisee compliance, though expected to be higher among franchisees that had electronic communication channels available to them, was actually found to be lower.

E-Mail Escalation: Dispute Exacerbating Elements of Electronic Communication

Much has been written about the effects of electronic communication but few researchers have explored how the structural properties of e-mail impact the process of conflict management. In this paper, we examine whether the structural features of e-mail make it more likely that disputes will escalate when people communicate electronically compared to when they communicate face-to-face or via the telephone. Building upon Rubin, Pruitt, and Kim's (1994) conflict escalation model, we propose new conceptual framework that articulates: (1) the structural properties of e-mail communication, (2) the impact of these properties on conflict process effects, and (3) how process effects, in turn, set into motion the components of conflict escalation. Propositions identify the nature of relationships among process effects and conflict escalation. Our conceptual framework is designed to be the basis for future empirical research as well as a prescriptive guide regarding how one can avoid conflict escalation when communicating via e-mail.

The effects of electronic communication and the World Wide Web on US academic documents librarians' relationships

This article examines the impact of computer-mediated communication — specifically the use of e-mail and GOVDOC-L — and the use of and design of Web pages on academic documents librarians' professional relationships. Twenty-six semi-structured telephone interviews were conducted with academic documents librarians throughout the US to enhance and help clarify previous quantitative research data from a national survey conducted on the same topic by the author. Findings from the interviews suggest that computer-mediated communication is not only important for passing information, but also in terms of professional support and community building. Computer-mediated communication also appears to be reducing the use of some other modes of communication by documents librarians. In addition, the interviews provide anecdotal evidence that internal and external relationships have been modified or created anew because of work related to the World Wide Web (WWW). The article concludes with a discussion on the impact that the altering of professional relationships may have on the documents librarians' profession.

Effects of electronic communication in general practice

Objective: To obtain insight into the effects of electronic communication on GPs by studying those publications in literature describing the effects of structured electronic clinical communication in general practice. Methods: We retrieved all publications in the English language indexed in MEDLINE under the MESH term ‘Computer Communication Networks’ AND having either ‘family practice’ or ‘primary health care’ as MESH term OR ‘GP’, or ‘GPs’ as text word. Results: A total of 176 publications were retrieved of which 30 publications met the criteria. In 28 of these 30 publications potential effects were described; one described claimed effects, three described demonstrated effects with subjective data and five described demonstrated effects with objective data. The studies documented, furthermore, effects on the speed of communication, the content of information and records, a change of processes involved in the communication, quality of care, costs, workload of physicians, appreciation of physicians, confidentiality, and adherence. Conclusions: We conclude that only a few studies evaluated electronic communication versus paper communication. Of these studies, only a few report improvement. Our final conclusion is that, so far, literature has not shown that the positive effects can be explained by electronic communication as such.

“You Never Run Out of Stamps” Electronic Communication in Field Experiences

This study sought to determine the effects of electronic communication (i.e., e-mail and listserv communication) among triads of student teachers, college supervisors, and cooperating teachers. Twenty-one volunteer participants began as the initial cohort: five college supervisors, eight cooperating teachers, and eight preservice teachers. Each participant had a portable computer equipped with a modem. Four data sets were used: 1) individual self-assessments; 2) printouts of all e-mail communication related to the project; 3) printouts of all listserv responses; and 4) within-triad and between-triad group assessments. Participants' self-reporting of computer proficiency showed significant differences. The nature of participants' e-mail messages (e.g., lesson plan discussions) and listserv responses are discussed in relation to their overall evaluation of this opportunity.

Marchés électroniques et hiérarchies électroniques

Electronic links are becoming increasingly important in the inter-and intra-firm spheres. The present article develops an analytical frame for defining this evolution. The growing use of electronic interconnections can be considered as the combination of three forces : the effect of electronic communication, the effect of electronic brokerage and the effect of electronic integration. The nature of these interconnections - electronic hierarchy or electronic market - depends on factors such as the simplicity of product specifications and the degree of product specificity with regard to customers. By reducing co-ordination costs, information technologies lead to global change towards a more widespread use of markets, to the detriment of hierarchies, for the co-ordination of economic activities. By applying this analytical frame, it is possible to forecast some of the changes likely to attend the intensified use of information technologies.
