Abstract

Background: With the rising global demand for medical syringes among children, the unsuitability of traditional syringes may negatively affect their physical and mental health.

Methods: This study integrates the extended Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) to survey 455 child guardians on 10 variables influencing their attitudes toward pediatric medical syringes.

Results: Results indicate that aesthetic preferences of users significantly influence the price value sensitivity and purchasing decisions of children's guardians. Furthermore, the product's function and price value significantly shape users' behavioral intentions. Technology anxiety and time and error reduction emerge as key factors influencing perceived risks.

Conclusions: This study offers product designers crucial insights into purchasing factors for children's medical products, aims to enhance product development and iteration efficiency, and promotes more accurate innovation, decision-making, and communication. Additionally, it proposes new recommendations for ethical and marketing strategies.

期刊介绍： Frontiers in Psychology is the largest journal in its field, publishing rigorously peer-reviewed research across the psychological sciences, from clinical research to cognitive science, from perception to consciousness, from imaging studies to human factors, and from animal cognition to social psychology. Field Chief Editor Axel Cleeremans at the Free University of Brussels is supported by an outstanding Editorial Board of international researchers. This multidisciplinary open-access journal is at the forefront of disseminating and communicating scientific knowledge and impactful discoveries to researchers, academics, clinicians and the public worldwide. The journal publishes the best research across the entire field of psychology. Today, psychological science is becoming increasingly important at all levels of society, from the treatment of clinical disorders to our basic understanding of how the mind works. It is highly interdisciplinary, borrowing questions from philosophy, methods from neuroscience and insights from clinical practice - all in the goal of furthering our grasp of human nature and society, as well as our ability to develop new intervention methods.
