Acceptability (of healthcare services) is an important construct that lacks a consistent definition within research. Addressing this issue, a systematic review led to the Theoretical Framework of Acceptability. In this study, we describe the development (based on the Theoretical Framework of Acceptability) and validation of the Digital Health Acceptability Questionnaire. Nineteen items aligning with the Theoretical Framework of Acceptability were developed. Two versions of the questionnaire measuring telehealth acceptability by telephone (N = 644) and videoconference appointment (N = 425), were administered to a nationally representative survey of consumers in Australia. Two exploratory factor analyses (Oblimin rotation) were conducted for each scale (telephone/videoconference). Two-factor solutions (5 items each) were found for both (telephone/videoconference) acceptability questionnaires: (a) attitude toward the service as a means to address healthcare needs and affective attitude and (b) individual capacity and effort to use telehealth. Before rotation, Factor 1 of the telephone scale (α = 0.92) measured 56.18% of the variance and Factor 2 (α = 0.86) measured 14.17%. Factor 1 of the videoconference scale (α = 0.90) measured 56.68% of the variance and Factor 2 (α = 0.85) measured 10.63%. The full10-item acceptability questionnaire showed excellent internal consistency (telephone: α = 0.91 and videoconference: α = 0.92). The 2-dimensional Digital Health Acceptability Questionnaire is a brief survey based on research evidence and validated in a large Australian sample.

数字健康可接受性调查问卷的开发和验证。

（医疗保健服务的）可接受性是一个重要的概念，但在研究中缺乏一致的定义。为了解决这个问题，系统的回顾导致了可接受性的理论框架。在本研究中，我们描述了数字健康可接受性问卷的开发（基于可接受性理论框架）和验证。制定了十九个符合可接受性理论框架的项目。对澳大利亚消费者进行的全国代表性调查中，采用了两个版本的调查问卷来衡量通过电话（N = 644）和视频会议预约（N = 425）进行远程医疗的可接受性。对每个量表（电话/视频会议）进行了两次探索性因素分析（Oblimin 旋转）。两种（电话/视频会议）可接受性调查问卷均找到了双因素解决方案（各 5 个项目）：(a) 对服务作为解决医疗保健需求的手段的态度和情感态度；(b) 个人使用远程医疗的能力和努力。轮换之前，电话量表的因子 1 (α = 0.92) 测得方差为 56.18%，因子 2 (α = 0.86) 测得方差为 14.17%。视频会议量表的因子 1 (α = 0.90) 测得方差为 56.68%，因子 2 (α = 0.85) 测得方差为 10.63%。完整的 10 项可接受性问卷显示出极好的内部一致性（电话：α = 0.91 和视频会议：α = 0.92）。二维数字健康可接受性调查问卷是一项基于研究证据的简短调查，并在澳大利亚大量样本中得到验证。
