Assessing the Factors of User Resistance to Adopting Telehealth Technology Among Women.
Article in Telemedicine reports, 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
Background: Despite the growing global shift toward digital health solutions, the adoption of telehealth technologies in Bangladesh remains a concerning issue. Psychological factors such as lack of digital literacy, trust, and familiarity may significantly hinder the uptake of telehealth, particularly in developing countries where digital integration in health care is still evolving. Objective: This study aims to identify and evaluate the psychological barriers-specifically lack of familiarity (LOR), lack of digital literacy (LDL), and lack of trust (LT)-that influence user resistance (UR) to adopting telehealth technologies in Bangladesh. Furthermore, women among different age groups have been used as an independent construct to explore how age influences the resistance to adopting telemedicine technology. Methods: One hundred and fifty respondents were administered a structured questionnaire based on a Likert scale. Constructs were measured using items validated through factor analysis. Reliability was confirmed via Cronbach's alpha. Multiple regression analysis was conducted to test the hypothesized relationships between psychological factors (LOR, LDL, LT) and UR. Results: The model explained 47.6% of the variance in UR ( Conclusion: The findings suggest that enhancing digital skills and building trust are critical to reducing resistance and promoting the adoption of telehealth in Bangladesh. While unfamiliarity alone does not deter adoption, it becomes a barrier when compounded by low digital literacy and trust concerns. Targeted interventions such as digital literacy training and transparent communication about data security could facilitate greater acceptance and integration of telehealth technologies in the country.
