Intention to use telemonitoring for chronic illness management and its associated factors among nurses and physicians at public hospitals in Bahir Dar, northwest Ethiopia: using a modified UTAUT2 model.
Article in Frontiers in health services, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Background: Patients with chronic illnesses need to take care of themselves and seek ongoing medical attention. By using technology, telemonitoring can minimize hospitalization and care costs, while increasing professional productivity, providing constant medical attention and enhancing patient self-care management. Despite all these advantages, nothing is known regarding the intentions of Ethiopian professionals and nurses to adopt telemonitoring technologies. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to evaluate the telemonitoring intention of Ethiopian professionals and nurses, as well as the factors related to it. Methods: A total of 781 randomly chosen nurses and physicians who worked at public hospitals in Bahir Dar City, northwest Ethiopia, participated in a cross-sectional survey. To give everyone an opportunity, the sample size was distributed equitably among the hospitals and the profession according to staffing numbers. The sample was obtained using a simple random sampling technique. Data were gathered by skilled data collectors utilizing a self-administered questionnaire. For additional cleaning and descriptive statistical analysis, the data were imported into EpiData version 4.6 and exported to Statistical Package for Social Science version 25. Analysis of Moment Structure version 23 structural equation modeling was used to ascertain the degree of the association between the variables. Result: The response rate was 732/781 (93.7%), with 55.7% (408/732) of the participants being men and two-thirds (67.6%, 495/732) being nurses. About 55.9% [95% confidence interval (CI): 52.3-59.6] of respondents intended to use telemonitoring. The desire to employ telemonitoring is positively impacted by performance expectancy ( Conclusion: In Bahir Dar City public hospitals, over half of the doctors and nurses have the intention to use telemonitoring. Predictive indicators of intention to utilize telemonitoring that were statistically significant were performance expectancy, effort expectancy, facilitating condition, and habit.
