“…Acceptance has been investigated in relation to several technologies (Hsiao & Yang, 2011;Marangunić & Granić, 2015). In healthcare settings, studies have explored the acceptance of telemedicine (Kohnke, Cole, & Bush, 2014;Rho, Choi, & Lee, 2014;Zailani, Gilani, Nikbin, & Iranmanesh, 2014), mobile services (Kuo, Liu, & Ma, 2013;Lee & Rho, 2013;Wu, Li, & Fu, 2011), mobile devices (Jeon & Park, 2015;Moon & Chang, 2014;Wan Ismail, Chan, Buhari, & Muzaini, 2012), and hospital information systems (Abdekhoda, Ahmadi, Dehnad, & Hosseini, 2014;Chen & Hsiao, 2012;Lin, 2015). Issues related to the acceptance of sensorbased systems have been raised but not investigated empirically (Al Ameen, Liu, & Kwak, 2012;Bick et al, 2015).…”

Sensor-based systems have healthcare transformation potential but acceptance problems jeopardize their diffusion. We theorize that perceived technology threats induce anxiety and diminish usage intentions. We use data from the pre-implementation phase in German and Australian hospitals to explore the formation of three types of anxieties, their impact on usage intentions, and the relationships between them and national culture. We find negative effects of relational and work-related anxieties on usage intentions while surveillance anxieties show no association. The anxieties can be partially linked to national culture characteristics. Our findings support implementation initiatives and offer a deeper understanding of technology-induced anxieties.

Background. Many studies are available in the literature about e-health in Saudi Arabia, however, data is limited to a few organizations and does not necessarily reflect the current and potential use of e-health for health care organizations in the country. This study aimed to determine the level of awareness of Saudi medical students of the internet-based health-related information seeking and developing to support health services and significant predictors of their practice.Methods. A cross-sectional survey of 440 medical students in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, was conducted, during October/November 2019, using a previously validated questionnaire, to assess: (1) knowledge in three domains; e-health definition (13 statements), fields of application of e-health (8 statements), methods of using e-health (7 statements), (2) attitude toward using e-health (8 statements) and (3) reported practice of e-health in medical training (5 statements). A scoring system was used to calculate the total and percentage score of knowledge, attitude, and practice for each student. Multiple regression analysis was applied to identify predictors of e-health practice. Significance was considered at p<0.05. Results. Of 440 medical students, the majority were females (55.7%) and from families whose monthly income was more than 10,000SR (82.8%). Overall knowledge about e-health was unsatisfactory (percentage mean score, PMS=71.6%), with only 43.6% of students reporting a satisfactory level. However, this level was satisfactory for fields of application (Percentage mean score-PMS=76.6%) and unsatisfactory for the definition of e-health (PMS=70.7%) and methods of its use (PMS=65.7%) domains. The overall attitude towards e-health use was positive (PMS=82.3%), with nearly three-quarters of students (73.4%) reporting a positive attitude. Generally, a good level of practice of e-health was reported by students (PMS=84.3%), with more than three-quarters of students (78.4%) reporting good practice. Adjusting for age, gender, stream, educational grade, and family monthly income, good practice was significantly predicted with higher knowledge (t=2.22, p=0.03) and attitude (t=2.11, p=0.04) scores.Conclusion. This study provides basic information regarding medical students' level of awareness of internet-based health-related information seeking and developing to support health services. More resources should be directed to elevate medical students' knowledge and to motivate them to practice e-health using the available tools.

“…[25] Another study reported that younger physicians were more inclined to use smartphones and ladies show more acceptances regarding using smartphones in their professional field. [26] It has been revealed that 94% of the study participants of Najran University, Saudi Arabia, owned smartphones. [27] Similarly, study reports from the faculty of medicine of four Canadian leading Universities were also obtained that 93% of medical students held a smartphone.…”

||ABSTRACT Background: The availability and the use of electronic devices among the students of higher education have been continuing to grow. The devices connect the users to the world instantly, allow access to information, and enable interactivity with others. The uses of these devices are playing an important role, especially in their academic lives. Aims and Objectives: To identify the types of devices used for the students, the purpose of their use, and its influence on their academic performances. Materials and Methods: A questionnaire was developed, and its content validity was tested by a survey expert. About 300 questionnaires were later distributed among the available year-I, -II, and -III students, and 230 completed questionnaires were collected back from the participants. The data collected were inserted in the SPSS (version 17.0) program and analyzed accordingly. Results: Descriptive analysis showed that 71.7% of the respondents were female students; 68.7% were in 20-21 age groups; and 42.2% were from year I, 42.6% from year II, and the rest from year III. A total of 65.7% of the respondents admitted that they used to use electronic devices in the classroom, and 89.6% of which use a smartphone. Among the smartphone users, about 48% scored 465% marks in their last examination. Conclusion: It has been found that the students' performance was directly associated with the use of electronic devices for academic purposes. In this study, students' learning behavior with electronic devices, especially smartphones, was explored, and the data indicated that they want more access to the academic-friendly devices. The smart uses of electronic devices, therefore, help to improve the academic performance of the students.
