An exploration of technology acceptance among nursing faculty teaching online for the first time at the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic

Nursing lecturers' perception toward E-learning approaches used in nursing colleges: Scoping review

“…E-learning methods are thought to be a successful strategy for delivering content that helped educators and students achieve course objectives. Nurse-Clarke and Joseph (2022a) reported high acceptance and positive perception among American nursing educators toward e-learning utilization. Still, compared to the traditional teaching method, educators perceived e-learning methods negatively and considered them ineffective teaching strategies, especially in teaching clinical courses.…”

“…Participants in the reviewed articles came from a variety of university settings, including one private university ( Bdair, 2021 ), public universities ( Leigh et al, 2021a ; McKay et al, 2022a ; Smith et al, 2021b ), and four articles that had participants from both public and private universities ( Eycan & Ulupinar, 2021a ; Nabolsi et al, 2021a ; Smith & Crowe, 2017 ). The remaining three articles broadened their study sample to include individuals from federal and other institutions besides governmental and private universities ( Nurse-Clarke and Joseph, 2022a ; Richter and Schuessler, 2019a ; Unnikrishnan, & Varghese, 2020 ). Geographically, there were five articles from the United States of America, two from Turkey, one from Jordan, one from Saudi Arabia, one from Egypt, one was from Georgia, and one had participants from Asian countries (Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam, Hong Kong, Indonesia, and the Philippines).…”

“…The challenges for this review are categorized as online environmental, technological, educators, students, and administrators' challenges (A.2). Nursing educators emphasized that lack of time is a significant challenge for utilizing e-learning approaches efficiently and effectively; thus, they need more time than usual for training, developing educational content, communicating with their students, and dealing with personal issues at home ( McKay et al, 2022b ; Nurse-Clarke and Joseph, 2022b ; Richter and Schuessler, 2019a ). Nursing educators confirmed that the effectiveness of the e-learning approach is also hampered by technological issues such as inadequate technological preparation and infrastructure ( Nabolsi et al, 2021a ), poor network connection and internet access ( Kalanlar, 2022a ; Nabolsi et al, 2021b ; Richter and Schuessler, 2019a ).…”

“…A clear consensus among educators is that missing out on face-to-face interaction with nursing students and using an e-learning strategy to teach clinical courses resulted in a high level of anger, anxiety, uncertainty, and nervousness among them ( Leigh et al, 2021a ; Nurse-Clarke and Joseph, 2022b ; Nabolsi et al, 2021a ). Educators reported that e-learning is accompanied by a sense of sluggishness and hypoactivity, which enhanced feelings of disappointment and led to a decline in educators' motivation toward their work ( Kunaviktikul et al, 2022a ; Leigh et al, 2021b ) and thus resulted in overwhelmed and perplexed feelings ( Nabolsi et al, 2021a ).…”

Analysis of M-Tax Mobile Application Adoption on Tax Compliance in Indonesia Using Diffusion of Innovation Theory (DIT)

“…Several theories are used to study technology acceptance, including UTAUT (Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology) [8] which was later modified to UTAUT2 [9]. TAM(Technology Acceptance Model) [10] TAM (Technology Acceptance Model) [11], TAM3 [12]. Diffusion of innovation theory(DIT) [13][14] is a theory that is widely used in several disciplines to study the adoption of new ideas in understanding how innovation spreads in a society [15].…”
