| Abstract | ||
| The main objective of the current study is to build and test a model for the factors that affect anxiety towards medical information technology. Based on the literature, factors that affect anxiety have been selected, represented by the factors motivating anxiety, which are the negative attitude toward medical information technology, technological complexity, and perceived threats. In the context of these factors, the study assumed that the presence of these factors could contribute to an increase in the level of anxiety towards medical information technology. To test the model, data were collected by adopting a questionnaire that was prepared based on previous studies that included reliable and valid measurements. The study sample was a group of doctors working in the city of Mosul (except radiologists, sonar doctors, dentists, and laboratory doctors), and the number of the sample was (295) doctors. To complete the achievement of the main objective of the study, the model was tested by adopting the structural equations modeling method. The results of analyzing the data showed that the measurement model of the study was reliable and valid at the level of measurement indicators, constructs, and the model as a whole. Concerning the constructed model, the results of the analysis showed that the three factors (negative attitude towards medical information technology, technological complexity, and perceived threats) affected anxiety positively and significantly, meaning that the presence of these factors is a major cause of high levels of anxiety among physicians towards medical information technology. | ||
