Abstract:
This study investigates Romanian physicians\' acceptance of telemedicine using the Technology Acceptance Model. We analyzed 1093 responses to an online survey distributed nationwide to physicians via email by the National Authority of Quality Management in Health, employing the partial least squares algorithm to estimate the relationship between the behavioral intention to adopt telemedicine and its potential determinants. Our findings reveal that the model accounts for 84.6% of the variance in behavioral intention to use telemedicine. Among the two constructs of the TAM model, perceived usefulness is a stronger predictor of behavioral intention than perceived ease of use. Additionally, subjective norms positively and significantly influence physicians\' intention to use telemedicine and their perception of its usefulness. Furthermore, perceived incentives and accessibility to medical records also positively impact the behavioral intention to use telemedicine.
摘要:
本研究使用技术接受模型调查了罗马尼亚医生对远程医疗的接受。我们分析了由国家卫生质量管理局通过电子邮件在全国范围内分发给医生的在线调查的1093个回复,采用偏最小二乘算法估计远程医疗的行为意向与其潜在决定因素之间的关系。我们的发现表明,该模型占使用远程医疗的行为意图差异的84.6%。在TAM模型的两种结构中,感知有用性比感知易用性更能预测行为意图。此外,主观规范对医生使用远程医疗的意图及其对其有用性的感知具有积极和显著的影响。此外,感知的动机和医疗记录的可及性也对使用远程医疗的行为意向产生积极影响。
