The Cyberpsychological Dimensions of Healthcare Cybersecurity Crime Risks

Abstract

This study examines the cyberpsychological dimensions of cybersecurity risks in healthcare, emphasizing how human cognition, emotion, and organizational culture shape vulnerability within digitally transformed care environments. As healthcare integrates electronic health records, AI diagnostics, and telehealth systems, leaders, often trained in clinical or administrative domains, remain largely untrained in human factors psychology, limiting their capacity to address behavioral risk. Cyberattacks increasingly exploit cognitive biases such as urgency, authority, and trust, while clinicians under high cognitive load and ethical pressure frequently bypass protocols perceived as obstructive to patient care. Through an integrative, evidence-based framework grounded in cyberpsychological theory, this research aims to align technical controls with user behavior, leadership awareness, and institutional culture. The goal is to transition healthcare cybersecurity from a reactive, technology-centric model to a proactive, human-centered paradigm that fosters resilience, ethical responsibility, and trust across clinical and digital ecosystems.
