Abstract

Objectives: To describe changes in Swedish primary care physicians' use of, attitudes and intentions toward digital tools in patient care between 2019 and 2022.

Design: A survey using a validated questionnaire measuring physician's intentions to use digital tools based on the theory of planned behavior.

Setting: Sample of primary health care centers in southern Sweden.

Subjects: Primary care physicians.

Main outcome measures: Self-reported use and intentions to use, digital tools including digital consultations by text or video, chronic disease monitoring and artificial intelligence (AI) and the associations between attitudes, subjective norms, perceived behavioral control and behavioral intentions to use digital tools, in 2019 compared to 2022.

Results: In both 2019 (n = 198) and 2022 (n = 93), physicians reported high intentions to use digital tools. Self-reported use of video was slightly higher in 2022 (p = .03). No other changes were seen in the self-reported use or behavioral intentions to use digital tools.

Conclusion: The slow adoption of patient-related digital tools in Swedish primary health care does not seem to be explained by a low intention to use them among physicians. Future research on implementation of digital tools should include a focus on contextual factors such as organizational, technical and cultural barriers.

医生使用数字工具的意向--瑞典南部 COVID-19 大流行前后的对比调查。

目标描述瑞典初级保健医生在 2019 年至 2022 年期间在患者护理中使用数字工具的情况、态度和意向的变化：基于计划行为理论，使用经过验证的调查问卷测量医生使用数字工具的意向：调查对象：瑞典南部的初级医疗保健中心：主要结果测量主要结果测量：与2022年相比，2019年数字工具（包括文本或视频数字咨询、慢性病监测和人工智能）的自我报告使用情况和使用意向，以及使用数字工具的态度、主观规范、感知行为控制和行为意向之间的关联：结果：在2019年（n=198）和2022年（n=93），医生都报告了使用数字工具的高意愿。在 2022 年，自我报告的视频使用率略高（p = 0.03）。使用数字工具的自我报告使用情况或行为意向没有其他变化：结论：在瑞典初级医疗保健中，与患者相关的数字化工具的采用速度较慢，这似乎并不是因为医生使用这些工具的意愿较低。未来有关数字工具实施的研究应关注环境因素，如组织、技术和文化障碍。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
