“…The study pointed out that UTAUT model can be used to explain the acceptance of technology in healthcare technology-intensive contexts, as it is extensively been validated through time and different national contexts [ 25 , 37 ]. The results of this study point out that, for a particular kind of setting, namely the technology-intensive healthcare units, the age is a moderator for the social influence: it could be argued that social influence, or peer opinion, matters more for young nurses while older nurses seem to do not care about their peer opinion.…”

Background Several technological innovations have been introduced in healthcare over the years, and their implementation proved crucial in addressing challenges of modern health. Healthcare workers have frequently been called upon to become familiar with technological innovations that pervade every aspect of their profession, changing their working schedule, habits, and daily actions. Purpose An in-depth analysis of the paths towards the acceptance and use of technology may facilitate the crafting and adoption of specific personnel policies taking into consideration definite levers, which appear to be different in relation to the age of nurses. Approach The strength of this study is the application of UTAUT model to analyse the acceptance of innovations by nurses in technology-intensive healthcare contexts. Multidimensional Item Response Theory is applied to identify the main dimensions characterizing the UTAUT model. Paths are tested through two stage regression models and validated using a SEM covariance analysis. Results The age is a moderator for the social influence: social influence, or peer opinion, matters more for young nurse. Conclusion The use of MIRT to identify the most important items for each construct of UTAUT model and an in-depth path analysis helps to identify which factors should be considered a leverage to foster nurses’ acceptance and intention to use new technologies (o technology-intensive devices). Practical implications Young nurses may benefit from the structuring of shifts with the most passionate colleagues (thus exploiting the social influence), the participation in ad hoc training courses (thus exploiting the facilitating conditions), while other nurses could benefit from policies that rely on the stressing of the perception of their expectations or the downsizing of their expectancy of the effort in using new technologies.

“…And the study of Mensah (2019) found that facilitating conditions significantly affected the behavioral intention of e-government services. However, the study of Zhou, et al, (2019) found that the facilitating conditions did not affect the technology choices. Finally, the UTAUT model showed the effect of the behavioral intention on the actual use behavior in technology choice.…”

Due to the widespread infection of the coronavirus (COVID-19) over the world, people were forced to stay at home, and technology has been increasingly used in communication, entertainment, and work. This research emphasized the study on the technology usage of Generation Z who are ready and highly skilled in using technology. The purpose of the study was to investigate the influence of key factors affecting the intended use and practical application of Generation Z technology in Cambodia during the COVID-19 pandemic. The researcher chose to use the UTAUT Model to test the research hypothesis. A questionnaire is a research tool used to collect data online. It was found that the sample size was 212 respondents. Descriptive analysis and the partial least square structural equation model (PLS-SEM) evaluation were performed. The results revealed that (1) most of the respondents were male, had under a bachelor’s degree, and monthly income was equal to or more than 312 US dollars, (2) the performance expectancy significantly influenced the behavioral intention, but effort expectancy, social influence, and facilitating conditions did not affect the behavioral intention of technology use, and (3) the behavioral intention to use technologies significantly influenced the actual use behavior during the covid-19 situation. This study suggests that technology organizations or businesses should pay attention to the potential benefits of technology for spurring the technology adoption and use of Generation Z people in Cambodia.

“…A descriptive cross-sectional research assessment was conducted in selected hospitals in Ghana during the 3-month period from January to March 2019 ( Bani-Issa et al., 2016 ; Zhou et al., 2019 ). This study focused on primary data derived from nurses from five major public hospitals in Ghana where HITs were being applied for patient care.…”

Background Medical care facilities in both developed and developing countries around the world continue to invest in hospital information technologies (HITs). Nevertheless, it has been discovered that user acceptance of these technologies is one of the imperative issues during their implementation and management in developing countries such as Ghana. Purpose Notably, the technology acceptance assessment of nurses is a timely one since they play a very important role in the medical sector. Based on the model of “Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology,” this study explored the factors that affect Ghanaian nurses’ acceptance of HIT. Design/Method/Approach: A descriptive nonexperimental research design was employed in this study to recruit 660 nurses (404 females and 256 males) from 3 teaching and 2 regional hospitals in Ghana. A standardized electronic platform questionnaire (based on the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology model) was designed on smartphones and was self-administered, while the data collected were analyzed via the SmartPLS Structural Equation Modeling path analysis. The “Social Influence” ( t = 3.656, p < .001), “Attitude towards the Use of Technology” ( t = 5.861, p < .001), and “Facilitating Conditions” ( t = 2.616, p < .001) were the main predictors of the nurses’ behavioral intention to use HIT. The effects of the aforementioned constructs explained 60.7% ( R2 = 0.607) of the variance in the nurses’ intentions to use the HIT systems. Conclusions Precisely, HIT systems are essential in the quality and the enhancement of nursing services provision and in the effectiveness of the performance of nursing staff. This study, therefore, offers a piece of empirical evidence for hospital administrators in developing countries especially Ghana, to assess the success probability of new HITs before and after their implementation.
