Resumen
[EN]The increasing relevance of Information and
Communication Technologies (ICTs) in medical care is indisputable.
This evidence makes it necessary to start studies that
analyse the scope these new forms of access to information and
understanding of medicine have on the professional activity of
the physician, on the attitude and on the knowledge of patients
or, on the doctor-patient relationship. The purpose of this study
is to explore some of these aspects in a group of physicians
whose clinical activity is related to one of the greatest social
impact health problems which is the treatment of chronic pain.
Starting with the completion of a questionnaire, in the study
group it is observed that the interaction between social structure,
increase of information flows and ICTs generate transformations
in social practices and behaviour of the actors of the
health system. Internet is confirmed as an information space on
the subject, but is shown as an underutilized space of interaction
between the doctor and his patient.
