Factors influencing the adoption of the BYOD policy in teaching hospitals: A cross-sectional study from Southeastern Iran.
Article in PloS one, 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
introductionClinicians are increasingly using their devices for work at hospitals, a practice known as Bring-your-own-device (BYOD), to enhance productivity and mobility. This study aimed to determine the affecting factors of intention to adoption of BYOD policy in public hospitals from the healthcare staff's perspective.
methodsA cross-sectional analytical study was done in 2024. The study population comprised 1130 healthcare workers from five teaching hospitals. A researcher-made and validated questionnaire was distributed among 620 samples. Data were analyzed by SPSS software using descriptive (mean and standard deviation) and analytical (Pearson and Spearman correlation test) statistics.
resultsThe mean score of facilitating conditions, perceived cost-effectiveness, perceived trust, perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, and intention to adoption BYOD was 3.90 ± 0.87, 3.87 ± 0.97, 3.83 ± 0.93, 3.76 ± 1.01, 3.07 ± 0.48 and 3.62 ± 1.16, respectively. There was a positive significant correlation between factors of perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, perceived cost effectiveness, perceived trust, and facilitating conditions with an intention to adoption the BYOD policy (P < 0.05).
conclusionHealthcare workers have partially intended to adopt the BYOD policy. Ensuring the security of access to healthcare information, provision, support and maintenance of devices used by staff in the workplace for job-related activities can play a significant role in promoting the intention to adoption the BYOD. The results of the present study can be useful for planning and policy-making to increase the adoption and acceptance of the BYOD method in hospitals.
