The present study evaluated the levels and influence of computer anxiety and digital readiness for academic engagement among undergraduate students. A cross-sectional study was conducted on 272 medical students enrolled in a medicine program. Two previously validated instruments were adopted. We examined the association between students\u2019 sociodemographic variables, internet use, and perceived academic performance during e-learning and their computer anxiety and digital readiness. The results show a significant effect of gender, age, and internet use on students\u2019 computer anxiety and digital readiness. Males\u2019 information-sharing behavior and skills outperformed those of females, and students\u2019 computer anxiety decreased with increasing age. In addition, the results indicate that the greater the students\u2019 internet use, the better their digital readiness for academic engagement. Furthermore, computer anxiety and digital readiness affect students\u2019 perceptions of their academic performance in e-learning. The rapid rate of technological advancements and the integration of e-learning into education means that careful attention must be paid to student characteristics as well as their skills. This will allow educators to create a successful, personalized learning framework. <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/14604582221075554","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,2,24]],"date-time":"2022-02-24T02:09:28Z","timestamp":1645668568000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":22,"title":["Digital transformation in medical education: Factors that influence readiness"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"28","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4175-1703","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Alaa","family":"Althubaiti","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Medicine, King Saud bin Abdulaziz University for Health Sciences, Jeddah, Saudi Arabia"},{"name":"King Abdullah International Medical Research Centre, Jeddah, Saudi Arabia"}]},{"given":"Jumanah M","family":"Tirksstani","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Medicine, King Saud bin Abdulaziz University for Health Sciences, Jeddah, Saudi Arabia"},{"name":"King Abdullah International Medical Research Centre, Jeddah, Saudi Arabia"}]},{"given":"Aljawharah A","family":"Alsehaibany","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Medicine, King Saud bin Abdulaziz University for Health Sciences, Jeddah, Saudi Arabia"},{"name":"King Abdullah International Medical Research Centre, Jeddah, Saudi Arabia"}]},{"given":"Raghd S","family":"Aljedani","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Medicine, King Saud bin Abdulaziz University for Health Sciences, Jeddah, Saudi Arabia"},{"name":"King Abdullah International Medical Research Centre, Jeddah, Saudi Arabia"}]},{"given":"Arwa M","family":"Mutairii","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Medicine, King Saud bin Abdulaziz University for Health Sciences, Jeddah, Saudi Arabia"},{"name":"King Abdullah International Medical Research Centre, Jeddah, Saudi Arabia"}]},{"given":"Nada A","family":"Alghamdi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Medicine, King Saud bin Abdulaziz University for Health Sciences, Jeddah, Saudi Arabia"},{"name":"King Abdullah International Medical Research Centre, Jeddah, Saudi Arabia"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,2,23]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-14604582221075554","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.chb.2009.11.011"},{"key":"bibr2-14604582221075554","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/15391523.2020.1846147"},{"key":"bibr3-14604582221075554","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2190\/fk5l-092h-t6yb-pyba"},{"key":"bibr4-14604582221075554","first-page":"29","volume":"30","author":"Herdman PC","year":"1983","journal-title":"Manage Focus"},{"key":"bibr5-14604582221075554","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s40299-018-0387-0"},{"key":"bibr6-14604582221075554","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/00091380209605567"},{"key":"bibr7-14604582221075554","first-page":"22","volume":"9","author":"Alenezi AR","year":"2010","journal-title":"Turkish Online J Educ Technol"},{"key":"bibr8-14604582221075554","first-page":"94","volume":"11","author":"Nasution RA","year":"2018","journal-title":"Asian J Technol Manag"},{"key":"bibr9-14604582221075554","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/s41239-019-0152-3"},{"key":"bibr10-14604582221075554","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s12528-021-09274-2"},{"key":"bibr11-14604582221075554","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/1050651998012001005"},{"key":"bibr12-14604582221075554","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0360-1315(01)00033-1"},{"key":"bibr13-14604582221075554","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1023\/A:1010937901821"},{"key":"bibr14-14604582221075554","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1108\/19355181200400007"},{"key":"bibr15-14604582221075554","unstructured":"Rosenberg MJ.
