Determining the adoption intention and influencing factors of telerehabilitation by people with rehabilitation needs: a cross-sectional survey.
Article in BMC public health, 2026. 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
backgroundTelerehabilitation is considered a promising way to address the gap between supply and demand for rehabilitation services. To sure that telerehabilitation will be widely applied in clinical, a comprehensive and thorough understanding of the extent of usage intention for telerehabilitation is needed. This study aimed to identify the use intention and the barriers and facilitators factors to telerehabilitation utilization among people with rehabilitation needs.
methodsThis study is a cross-sectional study. A structured survey questionnaire on the usage intention of telerehabilitation was designed by the research team based on the extended UTAUT theoretical model. This survey recruited a total of 386 participants with rehabilitation needs from May 2022 to July 2023. The partial least squares structural equation model (PLS-SEM) to analyze the data and test the research hypotheses to determine the factors that influence the public's intention to use telerehabilitation.
resultsA total of 327 valid questionnaires were collected. The model of this study explained 62.0% of the variance in behavioral intention, 39.1% of the variance of perceived trust, and 36.7% of the variance of performance expectations. The results of the structural model analysis indicated that performance expectancy (β = 0.220, P < 0.001), social influence (β = 0.108, P = 0.011), perceived trust (β = 0.265, P < 0.001) and self-efficacy (β = 0.185, P = 0.009) had significant effects on behavioral intention to use telerehabilitation; performance expectancy (β = 0.402, P < 0.001) and effort expectancy (β = 0.208, P = 0.010) had a significant effect on perceived trust; self-efficacy had a significant effect on performance expectancy (β = 0.608, P < 0.001); performance expectancy and effort expectancy had indirect effect on behavioral intention with perceived trust as the mediator, and self-efficacy also had significant indirect influences with performance expectancy as the mediator.
conclusionsThis study applied an extended UTAUT model to investigated the intention of and influencing factors for using telerehabilitation service among individuals with rehabilitation needs. The results indicate that performance expectancy, social influence, perceived trust and self-efficacy are important factors influencing the use intention of telerehabilitation in individuals with rehabilitation needs.
