Demographic information questions are; participant's age, gender, education level, job, work experience (years), job geographic region, number of in-service trainings in orthotics and prosthetics, weekly working hours and number of patients contacted daily. At the end of the demographic information, participants were asked to clearly state their concerns about technology that they could not define.\n\nWhile the questions regarding demographic targets in the survey were categorical, the questions measuring perceptions regarding the use of 3D printing and technology included 5-point Likert type answers.

The scale takes into account cognitive needs to base affinity to technology on basic psychological structures and the questions are formulated accordingly. The title of the scale includes the statement that questions will be asked about interaction with technical systems. In our study, 3D Printer technology was stated to the participants as a technical system. The scale consists of 9 questions and the answers are in the form of a 6-point Likert scale: '1=Totally disagree, 2=Mostly disagree, 3=Partially disagree, 4=Partially agree, 5=Mostly agree, 6=Totally agree'.

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.\n\nIn 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.\n\nThe participants first filled out the Demographic Information Form. This form includes demographic information such as the participant's 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.\n\nAt 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.\n\nIn addition, questions created according to the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) and the Affinity for Technology Interaction (ATI) were also answered by the participants.\n\nWhen 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."}, 'eligibilityModule': {'sex': 'ALL', 'stdAges': ['ADULT', 'OLDER_ADULT'], 'maximumAge': '65 Years', 'minimumAge': '18 Years', 'samplingMethod': 'NON_PROBABILITY_SAMPLE', 'studyPopulation': 'A total of 131 participants, 29 female and 102 male, aged at least 18 and at most 65 years old, completed the survey.
