This study was based on knowledge sharing barriers about attitudes of physicians in Turkish health care system. The present study aims to determine whether the knowledge sharing barriers about attitudes of physicians vary depending on gender, position, departments at hospitals, and hospital ownership status. This study was planned and conducted on physicians at one public hospital, one university hospital, and one private hospital in Turkey. 209 physicians were reached for data collection. The study was conducted in June-September 2014. The questionnaire (developed by A. Riege, (J. Knowl. Manag. 9(3):18-35, 2005)), five point Likert-type scale including 39 items having the potential of the physicians' knowledge- sharing attitudes and behaviors, was used in the study for data collection. Descriptive statistics, reliability analysis, student t test and ANOVA were used for data analysis. According to results of this study, there was medium level of knowledge sharing barriers within hospitals. In general, physicians had perceptions about the lowest level individual barriers, intermediate level organizational barriers and the highest level technological barriers perceptions, respectively. This study revealed that some knowledge sharing barriers about attitudes of physicians were significantly difference according to hospital ownership status, gender, position and departments. Most evidence medical decisions and evidence based practice depend on experience and knowledge of existing options and knowledge sharing in health care organizations. Physicians are knowledge and information-intensive and principal professional group in health care context.
Our study provides a first look at the perceptions of physicians regarding the implications of e-prescriptions, which became mandatory on January 15, 2013, in Turkey. Advocates of e-prescribing have suggested that additional efforts are needed to strengthen clinical decision systems. Physicians and nurses are better able to adopt e-prescribing systems and to view them positively if they recognize the limitations of paper-based prescribing and understand the utility of electronic systems in addressing some of these limitations. This study represents a starting point for government and related organizations to improve their knowledge on how well the implied benefits of e-prescriptions are realized in their acquisition, appraisal, and use in health policy decision-making and health systems.
Bu çalışmanın amacı, Türkiye'deki tüm hastanelerin vizyon ifadelerinin içeriklerinin belirlenmesi ve hastanelerin mülkiyet yapısına, hizmet türüne, eğitim statüsüne, akreditasyon durumuna ve zincir olma durumuna göre karşılaştırmaların yapılmasıdır. Bu amaca ulaşabilmek için Türkiye'deki hem kamu hem de özel sektöre ait hastaneler çalışmanın evreni olarak belirlenmiştir. 836 kamu ve 525 özel hastane olmak üzere toplamda 1361 hastanenin vizyon ifadesi incelenmiştir. Hastanelerin vizyon ifadelerinin karşılaştırılmasında içerik analizi kullanılmıştır. Vizyon ifadeleri; geleceğe yönelik umut, meydan okuma ve mükemmellik, etkileyicilik ve duygusallık, personel güçlendirme, geleceğe hazırlama ve anımsanabilirlik ve yön verme öğeleri kullanılarak değerlendirilmiştir. Bu araştırmanın sonuçları, hastanelerin mülkiyet yapısına, hizmet türüne, eğitim statüsüne, akreditasyon durumuna ve zincir olma durumuna göre vizyon ifadesi içerikleri bakımından anlamlı farklılıklar olduğunu göstermektedir. Bununla birlikte elde edilen sonuçlar, hastanelerin büyük çoğunluğunun vizyon oluşturmada mükemmele ulaşamadığını ortaya koymaktadır.
