Abstract

Aim: The goal of this study was to identify which patient characteristics had a significant impact on the patient-perceived usefulness of information technologies (IT) in health care and the current utilization by patients. Methods: A questionnaire-based survey was conducted in 2013, over seven non-consecutive days within seven outpatient departments of a comprehensive cancer center. We computed descriptive statistics based on survey responses and performed correlation analysis (Spearman test) to investigate characteristics of patients' IT usage and attitudes in relation to age, gender, socioeconomic status, social isolation, and place of living (urban/rural). We then performed multinomial logistic regression models for which likelihood ratio tests were used. Results: The participation level was 85% (n = 1371). 70% of respondents were females, and the median age was 53.4 years. 84% of patients reported feeling comfortable with the use of computers, tablets and smartphones. 71% of them used a mobile phone every day and 68% were daily Internet users. Age and socioeconomic status were negatively associated with the use of IT ( p
