“…This could be due to the recognition that men tend to have better technological self-efficacy, and therefore HTSE does not affect their perceptions of PHR use. Although several studies have observed that women revealed lower self-efficacy regarding technological usage than men [52,53]. The lower self-confidence of women toward the usage of technologies may have consequences for their own aptitude beliefs in the use of PHR for health-care activities.…”

Background: With the development of information technology (IT) and medical technology, medical information has been developed from traditional paper-based records into up-to-date medical information exchange system called personal health record (PHR). Empowering PHR provides health awareness and intention for health promotion.Objective: The purpose of this study was to present a research framework to examine individuals’ intention to PHR use.Methods: This cross-sectional study used the questionnaire to collect data from the individual in Taiwan. Individual’s intention to use PHR has been examined by a framework based on extended technology acceptance model (TAM), with gender and health-care technology self-efficacy (HTSE) as external variables. Additionally, gender differences were explored in perceptions and relationships among factors influencing an individual’s intention to PHR use. The research framework was evaluated by structural equation modeling (SEM) and represented by Analysis of a Moment Structures (AMOS).Results: A total of 234 valid responses were used for analysis. The results suggest that the extended TAM model explains 40.6% of the variance of intention to PHR use (R2 = 0.406). The findings also supported that perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, and attitude toward using PHR significantly influenced individual’s intention to PHR use. Additionally, results also indicated that women were more strongly influenced by perceptions of HTSE.Conclusions: The extended TAM model contributes reasonable explanation for interprets and anticipates of individuals’ intention to use and adopt PHR. Moreover, the results have provided support for HTSE and gender as significant variables in TAM. However, the study identified three relevant factors directly and one factor indirectly influencing on individuals’ intention to PHR use. Thus, health care providers and hospital authorities must take these factors and gender difference into consideration in the development and validation of the theories regarding the acceptance of PHR. Based on the findings, the theoretical and practical implications are discussed.

“…Scales to measure this concept have arisen in last decades such as the Computer Self Efficacy (CSE) scale 54 which was subsequently redesigned. [55][56][57] In the present study, we updated the 17-item CSE scale, eliminating some of the items that are no longer relevant in view of the technology advances in the in recent years. The result was a construct measured using 12 items.…”

In the last years, hospitals in Brazil have made significant investments in adopting and implementing new hospital information system (HIS). Whether these investments will prove beneficial for these organizations depends on the support that will be provided to ensure the effective use of the information systems (IS) implemented and also on the satisfaction of its users.The purpose of this study is to propose a conceptual model, appropriate for the intention to use HIS, by adopting the system, service, and information qualities covered in the Information System Success Model proposed by DeLone and Mclean.In the present study, structural analysis applied to data from a sample of 393 HIS users showed the variables service quality, information quality, system quality and satisfaction to act as antecedents of HIS success. A novel finding of the study was the importance of the user's aptitude with respect to computer moderating the relationships of the model.Managerial implications are provided accordingly. Suggestions for introducing healthcare information system are then provided as well.

“…The 29-item positively worded Computer Self-Efficacy Scale (CSES) (Durndell, Haag & Laithwaite, 2000) on a 5-point Likert type scale anchored by 1: strongly disagree and 5: strongly agree developed originally by Murphy, Coover, and Owen (1989) and refined by Torkzadeh and Koufteros (1994) and Durndell & Haag (2002) with a slight modification in the present study was administered to participants in the first semester. The modification was related to the rewording of one of the statements of the scale for clarity and to be in accordance to the current computer terminology.…”

“…While some saw the need for refinement (Torkzadeh, 2003;Torkzadeh & Koufteros, 1994) and slight modification to allow for changes in computerrelated practice and technology (Durndell, Haag & Laithwaite, 2000), others (Simsek 2011) indicated no changes were needed. These scales were developed in the most technologically developed countries (e.g., UK, USA, etc.)…”
