Abstract

Bu çalışma, sağlık sektöründeki teknolojiye yönelik kaygı düzeylerini kuşaklar bazında incelemeyi amaçlamaktadır. Araştırmada, bilişsel kaygı, duygusal kaygı ve davranışsal kaygı olmak üzere üç boyutta teknoloji kaygısı ele alınmıştır. Veriler, İstanbul’da sağlık sektöründe görev yapan 600 sağlık çalışanına gönderilen anket yoluyla toplanmış ve 270 katılımcının yanıtları analiz edilmiştir. Sonuçlar, X kuşağının bilişsel ve duygusal kaygı düzeylerinin Y kuşağına göre anlamlı derecede daha yüksek olduğunu, ancak davranışsal kaygı düzeylerinde anlamlı bir fark bulunmadığını göstermektedir. Bulgular, dijital dönüşüm sürecinde kuşaklar arasındaki farklılıkların, özellikle X kuşağının teknolojik adaptasyona yönelik zorlukları ve Y kuşağının dijital teknolojilere yatkınlığı ile şekillendiğini ortaya koymaktadır. Çalışma, bu farklılıkların dijital okuryazarlık ve uyum süreçlerinin yönetimi açısından önemli çıkarımlar sunduğunu vurgulamaktadır. Gelecek araştırmalar için kuşaklar arası teknoloji kaygısının boylamsal olarak incelenmesi ve daha geniş örneklem gruplarıyla çalışılması önerilmektedir.
