Swedish Primary Care Physicians' Intentions to Use Telemedicine: A Survey Using a New Questionnaire - Physician Attitudes and Intentions to Use Telemedicine (PAIT).

Before the covid-19 pandemic, Swedish primary care physicians reported a low use yet high behavioral intention to use telemedicine in a study where we developed the preliminary instrument Physician Attitudes and Intention to use Telemedicine. Perceived behavioral control had the largest predictive value of behavioral intention to use telemedicine. Thus, interventions aiming to increase the use of digital tools in primary care should possibly focus on empowering physicians' self-efficacy towards using them.
