Key survey items.

Variables Survey itemsa References
Dependent variables

Diagnostic performance
  • OOb system allows me to carefully evaluate the health condition of the patient.

  • OO system allows me to thoroughly assess the health condition of the patient.

  • OO system allows me to accurately evaluate the patient’s health condition.

  • OO system allows me to think critically during the simulation experience.

[30]

Clinical task performance
  • I believe that the use of OO system can increase my overall performance.

  • I believe that the use of OO system can increase my effectiveness with the care tasks when working with live patients in the future.

  • With the use of OO system, I believe I can work more efficiently for managing care tasks when working with live patients in the future.

  • I believe that the use of OO system can increase the quality of care.

  • I believe that the use of OO system can decrease error rates in communication and information sharing with other care members in the future.

  • I believe that the use of OO system will help me understand what I have learned.

Independent variable

AIc assistance
  • Clinicians’ experience of AI-assisted diagnostic simulation (binary: 1, with AI assistance; 0, live patient encounter with no AI assistance)


Key control variables

Personal technology trait: technology habit
  • The use of social media has become a habit for me at work.

  • I am addicted to using social media at work.

  • I must use social media at work.

  • Using social media has become natural to me at work

[44]
Personal technology trait: personal innovativeness
  • If I heard about a new information technology, I would look for ways to experiment with it.

  • In general, I am hesitant to try out new information technologies.

  • Among my peers, I am usually the first to try out new information technologies.

  • I like to experiment with new information technologies.

[45]
Personal technology trait: computer literacy
  • I could complete the health care task using health information technology if there was no one around to tell me what to do as I go

  • I could complete the health care task using health information technology if I had just the built-in help menu for assistance.

  • I could complete the health care task using health information technology if someone showed me how to do it first.

  • I could complete the health care task using health information if I had used similar apps before this one to do the same job.
