SUTAQ: Service User Technology Acceptability Questionnaire; Std. Coeff.: Standardized coefficient
^aAssumptions testing conducted: Multicollinearity was checked and not found (variance inflation factor < 5); Homoscedasticity normality of residuals was checked by using histogram and normal P-P plot of regression standardized residual and was found fulfilled; Model fit was checked by R square, which equals to 0.994 (standard error = 0.04); intercept (95%CI) equals to −0.127
