Abstract：
The purpose of this study was to assess the significant factors that impact pregnant women\'s willingness to use smart fetal heart-rate monitoring devices. We propose a research model that integrates technological factors (perceived compatibility and perceived credibility) and personal factors (health anxiety, personal physiological conditions, health consciousness, and health beliefs). The subjects of this study were Chinese women who were pregnant or had previously given birth. Data were collected and analyzed from 397 paper-and-pencil and electronic questionnaires. Our structural equation model indicated that perceived usefulness (β = 0.490, t = 7.591, p < 0.001), perceived ease of use (β = 0.352, t = 5.631, p < 0.001), health anxiety (β = 0.095, t = 2.664, p = 0.008), personal physiological conditions (β = 0.075, t = 2.142, p = 0.032), and health consciousness (β = 0.078, t = 2.110, p = 0.035) were the determinants of the intention to use smart fetal heart-rate monitoring devices, with perceived usefulness having the highest degree of influence. Furthermore, we discovered that the levels of perceived compatibility and perceived credibility did not have direct correlations with the intention to use these devices, but they did significantly influence the model. Perceived compatibility (β = 0.345, t = 6.601, p < 0.001) and perceived credibility (β = 0.519, t = 9.958, p < 0.001) significantly influences perceived ease of use. Perceived credibility (β = 0.421, t = 7.802, p < 0.001) significantly influences perceived usefulness. Based on these results, suggestions for future research are put forward.
摘要：
这项研究的目的是评估影响孕妇使用智能胎儿心率监测设备的意愿的重要因素。我们提出了一个研究模型，该模型将技术因素（感知的兼容性和感知的可信度）和个人因素（健康焦虑，个人生理状况,健康意识,和健康信念)。这项研究的对象是怀孕或先前分娩的中国妇女。从397份纸笔和电子问卷中收集和分析数据。我们的结构方程模型表明感知有用性(β=0.490，t=7.591，p<0.001)，感知的易用性(β=0.352，t=5.631，p<0.001)，健康焦虑(β=0.095，t=2.664，p=0.008)，个人生理状况(β=0.075，t=2.142，p=0.032)，和健康意识（β=0.078，t=2.110，p=0.035）是使用智能胎儿心率监测设备的决定因素，感知有用性具有最高程度的影响。此外，我们发现，感知的兼容性和感知的可信度与使用这些设备的意图没有直接的相关性，但它们确实显著影响了模型。感知的兼容性（β=0.345，t=6.601，p<0.001）和感知的可信度（β=0.519，t=9.958，p<0.001）显着影响感知的易用性。感知可信度(β=0.421，t=7.802，p<0.001)显著影响感知有用性。基于这些结果,提出了未来研究的建议。
