Abstract:
Objective To explore the current status of medical technology anxiety experienced by elder-ly patients during the use of digital healthcare technology and its influencing factors.Methods A convenience sampling method was used to select 552 elderly patients from 10 hospitals in Liaoning Province as study sub-jects.A cross-sectional survey was conducted using the technology anxiety scale,ehealth literacy scale,self-ef-ficacy scale,and family APGAR index.Results The smart healthcare medical technology anxiety scale score for older patients was(44.93±14.30)points,and the ehealth literacy scale score was(25.29±9.61)points.Smart healthcare medical technology anxiety in older patients was negatively correlated with ehealth literacy,self-efficacy,and family care index(r=-0.299,-0.336,-0.304,P<0.01).Multiple linear regression showed that age,education level,living situation,monthly income,household registration,presence of chronic disease,ehealth literacy,self-efficacy,and family care index were influencing factors for smart healthcare medi-cal technology anxiety in older patients(P<0.05),collectively explaining 35.8%of the variance.Conclusion Ol-der patients exhibit a moderate-to-high level of smart healthcare medical technology anxiety,while their ehealth litera-cy remains at a low level.
