Abstract

Background: Technology has completely transformed healthcare, starting with X-ray machines and MRIs to telehealth and robotic surgeries to e-health records. The launch of minimally invasive surgery (MIS) serves as a milestone in medical history, offering benefits such as smaller incisions, shorter hospital stays, and faster recovery, making it a preferred surgical option. This study mainly explores patients' willingness to adopt robot-assisted surgery (RAS) technology in a surgical intervention and is assessed in the backdrop of the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM).

Methods: This research project employs a post-positivist research philosophy and a cross-sectional research design. A structured, pre-tested questionnaire was used to collect data from 280 respondents.

Results: The results revealed that trust had a significant impact on Perceived Usefulness (β = 0.099) and Perceived Ease of Use (β = .157), and eHealth literacy had a significant impact on Perceived Ease of Use (β = 0.438) and Perceived Usefulness (β = 0.454). Additionally, Perceived Usefulness partially influenced behavioral intention (β = 0.123), and attitude had a significant influence on behavioral intention (β = 0.612). The analysis revealed an insignificant impact of eHealth literacy on Perceived Usefulness (β = 0.067). The Standard Root Mean Square Residual (SRMR) value was <0.8. Mediation analysis also revealed partial mediation between the constructs. The SRMR rating of this model is 0.067, indicating that it fits the data well.

Conclusion: This study revealed that a patient's intention will be high if he or she believes that RAS is beneficial in treating his or her ailment. In comparison, information related to RAS is clearly known, and it does not directly affect selection intention. eHealth literacy is a significant antecedent to patients' behavioral intention. Hence, the healthcare industry must devise strategies to promote the acceptance of RAS at all levels.

探索印度人对机器人辅助手术的接受程度：实证调查。

背景：从 X 光机和核磁共振成像开始，到远程医疗和机器人手术，再到电子健康记录，技术已经彻底改变了医疗保健。微创手术（MIS）的推出是医学史上的一个里程碑，它具有切口更小、住院时间更短、恢复更快等优点，因此成为首选的手术方式。本研究主要探讨患者在外科手术中采用机器人辅助手术（RAS）技术的意愿，并以技术接受模型（TAM）为背景进行评估：本研究项目采用后实证主义研究理念和横断面研究设计。方法：本研究项目采用后实证主义研究理念和横断面研究设计，通过结构化的、预先测试过的问卷向 280 名受访者收集数据：结果显示，信任对感知有用性（β = 0.099）和感知易用性（β = .157）有显著影响，电子健康素养对感知易用性（β = 0.438）和感知有用性（β = 0.454）有显著影响。此外，"感知有用性 "对行为意向有部分影响（β = 0.123），"态度 "对行为意向有显著影响（β = 0.612）。分析显示，电子健康素养对感知有用性的影响不明显（β = 0.067）。标准均方根残差（SRR）值为结论：本研究表明，如果患者认为 RAS 有助于治疗其疾病，则其治疗意向会很高。相比之下，与 RAS 相关的信息是众所周知的，它并不直接影响选择意向。因此，医疗保健行业必须制定策略，从各个层面促进患者对医疗辅助系统的接受。
