Objective: To analyze the potential categories of technology anxiety of seeking medical care and its influencing factors in the elderly population. Methods: A questionnaire survey was conducted on 257 cases of elderly people in a tertiary hospital in Zunyi City using General Information Questionnaire, Technophobia Scale, General Self-efficacy Scale and Digital Health Literacy Assessment Scale from September 2022 to February 2023. Potential profile analysis was used to establish a potential category model of technology anxiety of seeking medical care in elderly groups, and ordered Logistic regression analysis was used to explore the influencing factors of technology anxiety in elderly group. Results: The score of General Self-efficacy Scale was(26.23±7.495) points. The information acquisition and evaluation ability dimension score of Digital Health Literacy Assessment Scale was(25.65±9.915) points, the interaction ability dimension score was(8.38±3.594) points, and the application ability dimension score was(8.11±3.504) points.The elderly groups technology anxiety of seeking medical care could be divided into four potential categories: low technology anxiety of seeking medical care group(33.85%), high technology tension of seeking medical care group(18.68%), high technology anxiety of seeking medical care group(8.95%), and medium technology anxiety of seeking medical care group(38.52%). Ordered Logistic regression showed that literacy, occupation, general self-efficacy, and ability to obtain and evaluate information were factors influencing technology anxiety of seeking medical care in the elderly group. Conclusion: There are four potential categories of technology anxiety in the elderly group, with obvious classification characteristics. Health care professionals should focus on the technology anxiety characteristics of different elderly groups and implement targeted interventions to reduce their technology anxiety levels. |
