Exploring Attitudes and Obstacles Around Digital Public Health Tools: Insights From a Statewide Cross-Sectional Survey on Washington’s Vaccine Verification System

Exploring Attitudes and Obstacles Around Digital Public Health Tools: Insights From a Statewide Cross-Sectional Survey on Washington’s Vaccine Verification System

While these 2 beliefs can be measured independently, TAM posits that perceived ease of use influences perceived usefulness. Further, TAM proposes that external variables or antecedents—such as social influence, design features, and flexibility—affect a user’s perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use. These beliefs then shape attitudes, influence behavioral intention, and ultimately determine actual use of the technology.

Knowledge and Beliefs Toward Mammography Screening Among Jordanian Women: Cross-Sectional Study

Deeply rooted beliefs and attitudes, shaped by cultural and individual factors, continue to hinder adherence to breast cancer screening (BCS) guidelines [24,25].

Modularity of Online Social Networks and COVID-19 Misinformation Spreading in Russia: Combining Social Network Analysis and National Representative Survey

On the one hand, prior beliefs may be reinforced by filter bubbles created by social networking site algorithms that tailor users’ feeds to match their interests [15]. Echo chambers further enable individuals to interact primarily with others who share similar views [16]. On the other hand, individuals may also encounter differing perspectives online [17], which can increase the diversity of their views.

Ethical Dilemmas Among Oncology Nurses in China: Cross-Sectional Study

Ethical Dilemmas Among Oncology Nurses in China: Cross-Sectional Study

Nurses often face ethical dilemmas when there is a disparity between their professional duties and the complex circumstances surrounding family beliefs and cultural norms, making it extremely difficult to proceed [7,9]. Such conflicts can yield negative consequences, including increased burdens, moral distress, emotional burnout, anxiety, and guilt [7,10]. Practices in prognosis disclosure vary by country and cultural groups, influenced by unique cultural beliefs and values [11-13].

Knowledge, Attitudes, and Behaviors Toward Salt Consumption and Its Association With 24-Hour Urinary Sodium and Potassium Excretion in Adults Living in Mexico City: Cross-Sectional Study

By contrast, patients’ beliefs and perceived knowledge are strong predictors of their attitudes (ie, actions) and may, therefore, directly impact adherence to medical nutrition therapy [8,9]. Knowledge is defined as the understanding of a subject or topic, including the cognitive ability to retain such information [10]. Attitudes refer to the emotional, motivational, perceptual, and cognitive beliefs that positively or negatively influence a person’s behavior.

A Public Health Research Agenda for Managing Infodemics: Methods and Results of the First WHO Infodemiology Conference

This approach should include studying people’s perceptions, beliefs, and knowledge, as well as the barriers and facilitators that can affect the access to and evaluation of credible health information as well as its use in offline life. Additionally, the alignment of information vulnerabilities with disease vulnerabilities should be considered.

Determinants of Knowledge About Dietary Supplements Among Polish Internet Users: Nationwide Cross-sectional Study

Determinants of Knowledge About Dietary Supplements Among Polish Internet Users: Nationwide Cross-sectional Study

Beliefs about medicines: this part included the Polish version [43] of the beliefs about medicines questionnaire (BMQ) [44]. The tool included in this study involved only the BMQ-General, as it may be used separately from BMQ-Specific to assess ideas about medicines in general among people who may take no medicines [44]. The BMQ-General consisted of 8 statements for a respondent to express their opinions using a 5-point Likert scale.

Effectiveness of Educational Interventions to Increase Knowledge of Evidence-Based Practice Among Nurses and Physiotherapists in Primary Health Care: Protocol for a Systematic Review

Finally, different authors have highlighted that HCPs’ beliefs about EBP are associated with their capacity to implement it [31,41,42]. Over the last 2 decades, the use of EBP in health care has been documented in exploratory and observational studies in different settings. Scurlock-Evans et al [8] summarized attitudes, barriers, enablers, and EBP interventions among PTs, although without specifying employment settings or assessing educational interventions.

Dietary Intake Nutritional Status and Lifestyle of Adolescent Vegetarian and Nonvegetarian Girls in New Zealand (The SuNDiAL Project): Protocol for a Clustered, Cross-Sectional Survey

Dietary Intake Nutritional Status and Lifestyle of Adolescent Vegetarian and Nonvegetarian Girls in New Zealand (The SuNDiAL Project): Protocol for a Clustered, Cross-Sectional Survey

Reasons for following a vegetarian diet include health [1], ethical and environmental concerns [1,15,16], animal welfare [1,15,16], and religious beliefs [16]. However, adolescent girls in New Zealand, who are already at risk of low calcium intakes and iron status, may be further increasing that risk if they do not follow a carefully planned vegetarian diet.
