Brief Summary:
This study aim is the attitudes and barriers of prosthetics and orthotics professionals towards 3D printers and technology will be determined
Detailed Description:
It is known that there are generally concerns about high capital costs and return on investment in the use of 3D printer technology in Turkey
It is known that there is no study in Turkey to investigate the attitudes and barriers of prosthetics and orthotics professionals towards 3D printers and technology Therefore the attitudes and barriers of prosthetics and orthotics professionals towards 3D printers and technology will be questioned in the study It was aimed to reveal the perspectives and concerns about 3D printers and technology and to emphasize the importance of increasing the number of education and competent personnel regarding the dissemination of technological applications in practice
In the study investigating the attitudes and barriers of prosthetics and orthosis professionals towards 3D printers and technology in Turkey a total of 131 participants 29 female and 102 male aged at least 18 and at most 65 years old were included
The participants first filled out the Demographic Information Form This form includes demographic information such as the participants age gender education level profession duration of professional experience geographical region where they work the number of in-service trainings they receive in the field of orthosis and prosthesis weekly working hours and the number of daily patients they communicate with
At the end of the demographic information the participants were asked to state open-endedly what they had concerns about technology that they could not define
In addition questions created according to the Technology Acceptance Model TAM and the Affinity for Technology Interaction ATI were also answered by the participants
When the participants were asked whether they had concerns about 3D printers and technology that they could not define it was determined that they mostly answered no When the participants who had concerns were asked open-endedly about their concerns the answers given were mostly about the lack of information or competent personnel for use when the answers were collected under common headings It was observed that the technology acceptance model and proximity to technology had an effect on the time spent in the profession and the total score of ATI
