As cyberattacks against healthcare increase, it becomes important for healthcare caregivers to maintain robust IT security to protect patient data. Previous research has shown that gaps in employees' awareness of IT security, insufficient guidelines and policies, and outdated digital tools often lead to healthcare personnel using risky workarounds. One such workaround is the use of personal devices in daily work. This qualitative study explores doctors’ awareness of IT security as well as their attitudes and experiences regarding the use of personal devices within healthcare. Through a literature review and individual interviews, data has been collected and analyzed to highlight key aspects of IT security and Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) in healthcare settings. The results reveal deficiencies in IT security training, the need for reliable digital tools, and the prevalence of workarounds in daily work. The conclusions emphasize the importance of continuous IT security training, adapted digital technology, and clear guidelines for the use of personal devices. Suggestions for further research include conducting a quantitative study on doctors’ awareness of IT security nationwide in Sweden and investigations into how hospital administrations manage guidelines regarding personal devices. The study contributes to a deeper understanding of IT security and BYOD in healthcare and highlights important areas for further improvements and ongoing research.
