Self-efficacy as a mediator between health technology readiness and health-related quality of life: A survey study with mediation analysis.

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: Digital health supports self-management of preference-sensitive conditions and improves health-related quality of life (HR-QoL). Additionally, digital health literacy (DHL) is positively associated with HR-QoL, although not always directly, with self-efficacy as a mediator. Health technology readiness, as a broader concept, encompasses DHL and may further enhance understanding of these relationships. Objective: This study aimed to examine the relationship between health technology readiness and HR-QoL and the potential mediating role of self-efficacy in this association among people with preference-sensitive neurological conditions. Methods: The cross-sectional study used Finnish versions of the Readiness and Enablement Index for Health Technology (READHY-FIN), Self-Efficacy for Managing Chronic Disease (SEMCD-FIN), and EuroQol five-dimensional questionnaire (EQ-5D-5L) to assess health technology readiness, self-efficacy, and HR-QoL. A linear regression model was used to investigate associations between the constructs, and the PROCESS Macro for SPSS was used to test self-efficacy as a possible mediator. Results: The domains of health technology readiness: DHL ( Conclusions: Self-efficacy mediates the associations of DHL and social support with HR-QoL, whereas self-management had both direct and indirect associations. These findings emphasize a holistic approach of health technology readiness in the development of digital health.
