Health Care Professionals' Perspectives on Technology Use in Urinary Care: Cross-Sectional Survey-Based Study.
Article in JMIR formative research, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundUrinary issues pose a significant burden on health care systems, necessitating innovative solutions to enhance patient care and alleviate the provider burden.
objectiveThe objective of this study was to explore health care professionals' perceptions of urinary issues and assess their acceptance and readiness to adopt wearable and remote technologies for managing these conditions. The study aimed to identify the attributes and barriers influencing technology integration in clinical practice, using established theoretical frameworks, such as the Health Belief Model (HBM) and the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM).
methodsA cross-sectional survey-based study was conducted. A structured survey questionnaire was administered online to a sample of 256 health care professionals recruited through social media and personal networks. The survey included both closed- and open-ended questions to gather data. Quantitative data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation, and multiple regression.
resultsQuantitative analysis revealed strong correlations between belief agreement and factors such as health literacy (r=0.591, P<.001), the perceived burden (r=0.628, P<.001), device attributes (r=0.650, P<.001), and support services (r=0.622, P<.001). Multiple regression analysis identified that the perceived burden (β=.284, P=.01), device attributes (β=.371, P<.001), and integrating technology (β=.312, P<.001) are positively associated. The survey demonstrated strong internal consistency, with Cronbach α=.85, indicating high reliability in measuring health care professionals' perceptions of technology adoption.
conclusionsHealth care professionals' acceptance of technology in managing urinary issues is influenced by factors such as the perceived burden, device attributes, and the ease of integrating technology into existing workflows. Addressing barriers to technology adoption, providing comprehensive training and support, and prioritizing user-centered design are crucial for successful technology integration. Future research should focus on longitudinal studies and explore the perspectives of patients and other stakeholders to gain a more holistic understanding of technology integration in urological care.
