摘要 Abstract
中文摘要
背景：关于在医疗保健中使用人工智能（AI）的态度存在争议。与医疗保健专业人员的看法不同，癌症患者尤其是退伍军人的态度几乎未被探索。在这项质量改进研究中，我们旨在调查退伍军人事务部（VA）内退伍军人这一高度相关群体对AI的看法，以及数字亲和度和社会人口学因素。
方法：我们在2024年12月至2025年2月期间，对Overton Brooks VA医疗中心血液肿瘤科门诊的患者开展了一项基于问卷访谈的横断面调查。问卷包含探索人口统计学、参与者技术亲和度，以及他们对AI在医疗保健中效用的看法、医务人员的AI能力、他们的担忧和监管需求的各个部分。
结果：共招募250名参与者，中位年龄为72岁。91%为男性，52%完成了高中教育，44%对使用技术感到自在。超过78%的人阅读或听说过人工智能，但仅有8%报告了解很多。当被问及他们对AI在医疗保健中效用的总体看法时，55%的受访者将人工智能的使用评为积极或非常积极，48%同意将其纳入自身的医疗护理，但仅有11%持有消极或非常消极的看法。40%的退伍军人对潜在的AI安全和安保问题表示担忧。45%认为医务人员对AI的了解足以正确使用它。95%希望人工智能经过严格测试并在有医生参与的情况下部署。与年龄、性别和教育水平不同，只有技术亲和度的某些方面在统计学上影响了对AI医疗效用的看法、担忧和AI监管。
结论：ArkLATX癌症退伍军人大多对在医疗保健中使用AI持开放态度。尽管对AI几乎没有了解，但大多数人对其在医疗保健中的效用持积极看法。尽管如此，退伍军人坚持要求由医生监督AI并对诊断和治疗承担最终责任。

Background: The attitudes about the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in healthcare are controversial. Unlike the perception of healthcare professionals, the attitudes of cancer patients, especially veterans, have hardly been explored. In this quality improvement study, we aimed at investigating veterans' perception of AI within the VA among this highly relevant group, along with digital affinity and sociodemographic factors.
Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional survey using a questionnaire-based interview with patients at Overton Brooks VA Medical Center Hematology-Oncology Clinics from December 2024 to February 2025. The questionnaire consisted of sections exploring demographics, participants' technical affinity, and their perception of the utility of AI in healthcare, the providers' AI competence, their concerns, and the need for oversight.
Results: A total of 250 participants were accrued with a median age of 72. Ninety-one percent were men, with 52% finishing high school and 44% feeling comfortable using technology. More than 78% read or heard about artificial intelligence, but only 8% reported knowing a lot. Asked about their general perception of AI utility in healthcare, 55% of the respondents rated the use of artificial intelligence as positive or very positive, 48% agreed to its incorporation in their own medical care, but only 11% held a negative or very negative perception. Forty percent of veterans expressed concerns about potential AI safety and security issues. Forty-five percent thought the providers knew enough about AI to use it properly. Ninety-five percent wanted artificial intelligence to be rigorously tested and deployed with a physician in the loop. Unlike age, sex, and educational level, only certain aspects of technical affinity statistically impacted the perception of AI healthcare utility, concerns, and AI oversight.
Conclusions: ArkLATX veterans with cancer are mostly open to the use of AI in healthcare. Although showing little to no knowledge about AI, a majority had a positive perception of its utility in healthcare. Nevertheless, veterans insist that a physician supervises AI and assumes ultimate responsibility for diagnosis and therapeutics.
