Abstract

This study aimed to evaluate healthcare professionals' (HCPs') willingness to recommend health apps presented with versus without the CEN-ISO/TS 82304-2 health app quality label. The study was an experimental vignette study describing 12 short hypothetical scenarios, with Label (absent vs present) as a between and Type of App (prevention vs self-monitoring vs healthcare) and Patient Socioeconomic Status (low vs high) as within-subjects factors. The main outcome measure was HCPs' willingness to recommend apps. A total of 116 HCPs took part in the study. A significant main effect of the label was found. Further, HCPs were most willing to recommend self-management apps and more willing to recommend apps to high as opposed to low SES patients. However, the effect of the label did not differ between apps or according to patients' SES. Results confirm that the quality label has potential for increasing willingness to changing HCPs' recommendation behavior.

质量标签的价值与欧洲医疗保健专业人员推荐健康应用程序的意愿：实验小故事研究。

本研究旨在评估医疗保健专业人员（HCPs）推荐带有与不带 CEN-ISO/TS 82304-2 健康应用程序质量标签的健康应用程序的意愿。该研究是一项实验性小插曲研究，描述了 12 个简短的假设情景，标签（无与有）为主体间因素，应用程序类型（预防与自我监测与医疗保健）和患者社会经济地位（低与高）为主体内因素。主要结果指标是保健医生推荐应用程序的意愿。共有 116 名保健医生参与了研究。研究发现，标签具有明显的主效应。此外，高级保健医生最愿意推荐自我管理应用程序，并且更愿意向社会经济地位高的患者推荐应用程序，而不是向社会经济地位低的患者推荐应用程序。然而，标签对不同应用程序的影响并无差别，也不因患者的社会经济地位而异。结果证实，质量标签有可能提高保健医生的推荐意愿，从而改变保健医生的推荐行为。
