Factors Shaping Public Perceptions of a Range of Robotic Technologies in Surgery: Cross-Sectional Web-Based Survey

Factors Shaping Public Perceptions of a Range of Robotic Technologies in Surgery: Cross-Sectional Web-Based Survey

However, the underlying drivers of these perceptions are not fully explored. Given the growing prevalence of autonomous and semiautonomous technologies in our day-to-day lives, we sought to investigate the public’s perspectives of the spectrum of robotic systems in surgery. Using a technology acceptance model, we investigate the public’s attitudes, and drivers of those attitudes, toward a range of robotic surgery technologies.

Preferences, Perceptions, and Use of Online Nutrition Content Among Young Australian Adults: Qualitative Study

Preferences, Perceptions, and Use of Online Nutrition Content Among Young Australian Adults: Qualitative Study

In addition to identifying use and perceptions, exploring young adults’ preferences for nutrition content is also needed. Exploring how young adults use the internet for nutrition content and what topics they engage with can identify opportunities for targeted intervention. In addition, understanding their perceptions of the reliability and engagement of online sources and their preferences can guide health professionals in creating effective evidence-based content.

Perceptions of Occupational Risk and Adherence to Tuberculosis Prevention Among Health Care Workers: Protocol for a Scoping Review

Perceptions of Occupational Risk and Adherence to Tuberculosis Prevention Among Health Care Workers: Protocol for a Scoping Review

Studies have shown that HCWs’ TB preventive behaviors widely differ and are determined by their risk perceptions, knowledge levels, and institutional support. For example, HCWs at a higher risk of TB are generally more engaged in preventive behaviors [17,18]. Yet, persistent barriers remain, such as insufficient personal protective equipment, poor ventilation, and TB stigma [19,20]. Such gaps warrant strategic mapping of existing literature on HCWs’ perceptions and practices to inform future interventions.

Factors Influencing the Use of Online Symptom Checkers in the United Kingdom: Cross-Sectional Study

Specifically, we sought to (1) assess the demographic characteristics of OSC users, (2) evaluate user perceptions of the usability and effectiveness of OSCs, (3) identify concerns related to the privacy, security, and accuracy of OSCs, and (4) quantify the weight of these various factors on the adoption and use of OSCs. The Imperial College Research Ethics Committee granted ethical clearance for the study (ICREC# 20 IC5974).

Patients’ Perceptions of Artificial Intelligence Acceptance, Challenges, and Use in Medical Care: Qualitative Study

Patients’ Perceptions of Artificial Intelligence Acceptance, Challenges, and Use in Medical Care: Qualitative Study

A qualitative methodology allows us to gather participants’ perceptions in an unbiased way, and especially to recognize the reasons for these perceptions to enhance understanding [26,27]. The exchange in focus groups and the stimulus given can trigger responses and allow participants to build on ideas that might not have come up in individual interviews [28].

COVID-19 Perceptions Among Communities Living on Ground Crossings of Somali Region of Ethiopia: Community Cross-Sectional Survey Study

Beliefs and perceptions of the virus’s spread and control were partially adapted from the World Health Organization (WHO) resources. Specifically, some of the questions were adapted from the COVID-19 rapid quantitative assessment tool [8,9]. Three main perception themes were explored: perceived facilitators for the spread of the virus (6 items), perceived inhibitors (7 items), and risk labeling (8 items), as well as sociodemographic variables, including access to communication resources.
