Factors influencing the acceptance and experience of telemedical genetic counseling
In cooperation with the Hannover Center for Health Communication [HC]2 of the HMTM Hannover (Hanover University of Music, Drama and Media), further factors that influence the use and experience of (telemedical) genetic counseling are evaluated. The factors and associated dimensions are: evaluation of telemedical or personal genetic counseling, motivation of the use, trust in genetic counseling, performance and effort expectancy, impact of individualization and synchronicity, influence of habits, eHealth literacy, social norms, facilitating conditions and risk perception. For this purpose, adaptations of validated questionnaires are used. The values of the intervention group are compared with the values of the control group by means of a t-test for independent samples. If the test assumptions are violated, non-parametric test methods such as the Wilcoxon rank sum test can be used for independent samples.
