本文旨在探討國內區域及地區醫院醫師資訊需求與資訊行為，以醫藥衛生研究資訊網（HINT）使用者為研究對象，並進一步了解其使用HINT情形。本研究以二十一名區域及地區醫院醫師為對象，以深入訪談法進行質性研究。研究結果顯小，區域及地區醫院臨床醫師的資訊需求以臨床診療為主，其次是參加醫學會議及教學訓練；他們選擇與評估資訊時，以語文為最主要考量，其次是資料新穎性、權威性以及證據性；區域及地區醫院臨床醫師資訊需求及資訊尋求行為有所不同；全文取得不易是蒐集資訊的最大困難；由於所屬醫院圖書館資源及專業館員不足，皆以HINT為找尋訊資源的第一管道，其次是鄰近的醫學中心或醫學院校的圖書館；受訪者認為終身學習在「醫師」行業扮演著重要的角色，期望透過遠距教學完成繼續教育與自我學習，以降低城鄉醫療資訊分配不均的現況。

　　　　　 The purpose of this article is to investigate the information needs and the information seeking behavior of the regional and district hospital physicians, using the HINT users, and to further understand how HINT is used. Using 21 physicians at regional and district hospitals as subjects, this qualitative research was conducted through deep interview. The result of the research shows that the information needs of clinical physicians focuses on clinical treatment, followed by medical conference and teaching/ learning training. When it comes to selecting and evaluating information, the main concern is the language, followed by the currency, then the authority and evidence of information. Clinical physicians at regional and district hospitals have different information needs and information searching behaviors. The inaccessibility of the full-text of needed article is the biggest difficulty for information gathering. Due to the insufficiency of the library resources and professional librarians of parent organizations, HINT has become the first access point to resources, followed by neighboring medical centers or the libraries of medical schools. The interviewees consider lifetime learning an important role in the medical profession. They expect to complete ongoing education and self-education through distance learning, so as to bridge the disparity in the distribution of medical resources between rural and urban areas.
