Primary Outcome
|
| Outcome |
TimePoints |
| Mean scores and proportions of high responses across the four UTAUT constructs (Performance Expectancy, Effort Expectancy, Social Influence, and Facilitating Conditions) among doctors and nurses. |
At baseline (single time point – during questionnaire administration) |
|
|
Secondary Outcome
|
| Outcome |
TimePoints |
• Comparison of mean UTAUT scores between professional groups (doctors vs. nurses) using tests, as appropriate based on data distribution.
• Correlation analyses between UTAUT construct scores and independent variables such as age, years of experience, prior AI/HIS exposure, and AI training.
• Descriptive statistics (frequencies, percentages) for reported barriers and enablers to AI adoption.
• Thematic content analysis of open-ended responses to identify qualitative insights and recurring themes, mapped to the UTAUT domains.

Brief Summary
