Understanding Psychosocial Barriers to Healthcare Technology Adoption: A Review of TAM Technology Acceptance Model and Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology and UTAUT Frameworks

Healthcare, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 13(3), P. 250 - 250

Published: Jan. 27, 2025

Background: Leveraging healthcare technology improves human development and well-being. However, adoption is frequently delayed by behavioural psychological barriers, such as perceived usefulness, trust, organisational readiness. This review examines the suitability of Unified Theory Acceptance Use Technology (UTAUT) Model (TAM) frameworks in settings, focusing on behavioural, educational, factors that influence adoption. Methods: A total 20 peer-reviewed articles from 2019 to 2024 were examined. Results: The identified significant obstacles, including a lack inadequate training, support. While UTAUT provided more comprehensive viewpoint, it needed be modified include context-specific factors, facilitating circumstances, educational interventions. Meanwhile, TAM’s emphasis usefulness ease use was shown insufficient for dealing with complex situations. Conclusions: Interventions targeting stakeholders’ preparation strategies are essential overcoming resistance enhancing trust. Future research should look into integrative incorporating psychological, instructional tactics improve healthcare.

Purpose With the pandemic reshaping healthcare delivery, telemedicine has emerged as a vital solution for overcoming access barriers, particularly in resource-constrained settings. Hence, this study explores key drivers behind sustained use of services low-income countries during post-pandemic period. Design/methodology/approach Using quantitative research approach and purposive sampling technique, 273 valid responses were gathered from participants Bangladesh. A comparative analysis utilizing partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) fuzzy-set qualitative (fsQCA) conducted to ensure greater accuracy. Findings The PLS-SEM revealed that expectation confirmation perceived ease positively influence satisfaction. Similarly, usefulness directly impact Attitude toward services. However, security not significantly associated with satisfaction attitude services, respectively. findings highlight user drives continuance intention but only when it also cultivates positive While indicate no significant relationship is fsQCA results offer different perspective. reveals retains association security, regardless whether its effect high or low, equally effective contributing continuous use. These underscore fsQCA’s ability provide deeper insights into complex causal relationships among antecedents. Practical implications valuable hospitals, doctors providers on retaining existing users. Additionally, governments can leverage information address disparities between urban rural areas. identifies strategies reduce costs improve efficiency Originality/value This advances by employing extended technology theory (ETCT) alongside hybrid analytical integrates fsQCA. It highlights organizations boost patient confidence encourage continued enhancing cultivating attitude. innovative ETCT combined methodologies comprehensive analysis, offering actionable retain users

Evaluating remote healthcare practices: Experiences and recommendations of healthcare professionals on smart applications

Digital Health, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 11

Published: Jan. 1, 2025

Objective With the digitalization of objects and spaces, healthcare services are being reshaped globally, creating many potential applications. This study aimed to determine application remote (RHS) in a hospital by considering experiences, interests, suggestions health professionals, examples useful applications that can be used, developed, or invented for systems. Methods A semi-structured, face-to-face interview survey was conducted with 176 professionals working at Bozok University. Results Branches highest practice experience were internal medicine, cardiac, pediatric, infection, orthopedics. Experienced participants rated usability “Consultation,” “Support,” “Monitoring” higher than other apps, indicated they would prefer use them themselves (η²≤0.12). Requirements adequacy lower older adults, internal/surgical branches, physicians groups (η² ≥ 0.05). Application categories showed significant relationship (0.4 ≤ r 0.8, p < Several variables significantly explained models (p 0.001): application-usability (64%), user-demand requirements-adequacy (25%). Professionals’ demand (r = 0.83) more strongly correlated patient 0.63). Health (N 105) from 17 branches provided 57 available, 51 developable, 19 innovative recommendations. These coded according type, critical features, presence, integration status, usefulness. Conclusion RHS’ revealed demographic factors based on professionals’ practical suggestions, strong, comprehensive, up-to-date methodology. The findings have international contribute implementing developing original
