摘要
背景：数字健康是卫生领域的一项新举措。由于网络犯罪分子的目标是医疗保健专业人员，因此医疗保健专业人员需要数字场所的安全。因此，数以百万计的医疗记录被窃取以换取金钱。在资源有限的国家，关于数字安全的研究尚属空白。因此，调查医疗专业人员对数字健康数据安全的态度对干预措施具有重要意义：本研究旨在评估资源有限国家卫生专业人员对数字健康数据安全的态度及其相关因素：方法：进行了一项横断面研究，以衡量医疗专业人员对数字健康数据安全的态度。样本量按单一人口计算。为测量一致性，进行了一次预测试。采用二元逻辑回归法确定相关因素。对于多变量逻辑分析，使用Stata软件（版本16；StataCorp LP）选择P值≤.20：在所有样本中，95%（402/423）的卫生专业人员参与了研究。在所有参与者中，63.2%（254/402）为男性，平均年龄为 34.5 岁（标准差 5.87）。对专科教学医院数字健康数据安全持赞成态度的医务人员比例为 60.9%（95% CI 56.0%-65.6%）。教育状况（调整赔率比 [AOR] 3.292，95% CI 1.16-9.34）、计算机基本技能（AOR 1.807，95% CI 1.11-2.938）、知识（AOR 3.238，95% CI 2.0-5.218）和感知有用性（AOR 1.965，95% CI 1.063-3.632）是与对数字健康数据安全的态度相关的因素：本研究旨在评估医疗专业人员对数字健康数据安全的态度。对教育状况、计算机基本技能、知识和感知有用性的干预对于改善医疗专业人员的态度非常重要。改善医疗专业人员对数字数据安全的态度是医疗保健领域数字化的必要条件。
Attitudes of Health Professionals Toward Digital Health Data Security in Northwest Ethiopia: Cross-Sectional Study.
Background: Digital health is a new health field initiative. Health professionals require security in digital places because cybercriminals target health care professionals. Therefore, millions of medical records have been breached for money. Regarding digital security, there is a gap in studies in limited-resource countries. Therefore, surveying health professionals' attitudes toward digital health data security has a significant purpose for interventions.
Objective: This study aimed to assess the attitudes of health professionals toward digital health data security and their associated factors in a resource-limited country.
Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted to measure health professionals' attitudes toward digital health data security. The sample size was calculated using a single population. A pretest was conducted to measure consistency. Binary logistic regression was used to identify associated factors. For multivariable logistic analysis, a P value ≤.20 was selected using Stata software (version 16; StataCorp LP).
Results: Of the total sample, 95% (402/423) of health professionals participated in the study. Of all participants, 63.2% (254/402) were male, and the mean age of the respondents was 34.5 (SD 5.87) years. The proportion of health professionals who had a favorable attitude toward digital health data security at specialized teaching hospitals was 60.9% (95% CI 56.0%-65.6%). Educational status (adjusted odds ratio [AOR] 3.292, 95% CI 1.16-9.34), basic computer skills (AOR 1.807, 95% CI 1.11-2.938), knowledge (AOR 3.238, 95% CI 2.0-5.218), and perceived usefulness (AOR 1.965, 95% CI 1.063-3.632) were factors associated with attitudes toward digital health data security.
Conclusions: This study aimed to assess health professionals' attitudes toward digital health data security. Interventions on educational status, basic computer skills, knowledge, and perceived usefulness are important for improving health professionals' attitudes. Improving the attitudes of health professionals related to digital data security is necessary for digitalization in the health care arena.
