BACKGROUND Acceptance of Electronic patient portal (EPP) is instrumental for its success. Studies on users' acceptance in the Middle East region are scarce. This study aims to use the TAM as a framework to quantitatively describe potential users, diabetic and chronic high blood pressure patients and their providers, intention to use and factors influencing the intention to use EPP at AUBMC-FMC We concurrently test the internal construct validity and the reliability of the TAM. METHODS A cross-sectional survey design and the vignette approach were used. For validation, we needed a minimum of 180 patients; all 35 attending physicians and 11 registered nurses were targeted. We used descriptive statistics to calculate the intention to use EPP and its determinants based on the TAM constructs. Exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and structural equation modeling (SEM) were employed to estimate significant path coefficients for patients only as the sample size of providers was too small. RESULTS We had 199 patients, half intended to use EPP; 73% of providers (N = 17) intended to use EPP. Perceived ease of use and privacy concerns were significantly higher among providers than patients (Mean (M) = 0.77 vs M = 0.42 (CI: - 0.623; - 0.081)) and (M = 3.67 vs M = 2.13, CI: - 2.16; - 0.91) respectively; other constructs were not significantly different. Reliability of TAM revealed a Cronbach Alpha of α=.91. EFA showed that three components explained 73.48% of the variance: Behavioral Intention of Use (14.9%), Perceived Ease of Use (50.74%), Perceived Usefulness (7.84%). SEM found that perceived ease of use increased perceived usefulness (standardized regression weight = 0.49); perceived usefulness (0.51) had more predictive value than perceived ease of use (0.27) to explain the behavioral intention of use of the EPP. CONCLUSIONS We found that providers valued the usefulness of EPP and were mostly intending to use it. This finding has yet to be tested in future studies testing actual use as intention and actual use may not be concordant. The intention to use among patients was lower than those reported in developed countries. We identified two factors that we need to address to increase use, namely perceived ease and usefulness, and proposed practical implications to address them; future research directions were also discussed.

用户接受黎巴嫩的电子患者门户。

背景技术电子患者门户(EPP)的接受对其成功至关重要。关于中东地区用户接受度的研究很少。这项研究旨在以TAM为框架,定量描述潜在用户,糖尿病和慢性高血压患者及其提供者,在AUBMC-FMC上使用EPP的意图以及影响使用EPP意图的因素。我们同时测试内部构建体的有效性和TAM的可靠性。方法采用横断面调查设计和小插图方法。为了进行验证,我们至少需要180位患者;所有35位主治医师和11位注册护士均成为攻击目标。我们使用描述性统计数据来基于TAM构造计算使用EPP及其决定因素的意图。探索性因素分析(EFA)和结构方程模型(SEM)仅在提供者的样本量太小时才用于估计患者的重要路径系数。结果我们有199名患者,一半打算使用EPP;另一半则打算使用EPP。73%的提供商(N = 17)打算使用EPP。提供者中的易用性和隐私担忧明显高于患者(平均值(M)= 0.77 vs M = 0.42(CI:-0.623;-0.081))和(M = 3.67 vs M = 2.13,CI:-2.16; -0.91);其他结构没有显着差异。TAM的可靠性表明Cronbach Alpha为α= .91。EFA显示,三个因素解释了73.48%的差异:行为使用意图(14.9%),感知使用易用性(50.74%),感知使用性(7.84%)。SEM发现,易用性提高了感知有用性(标准化回归权重= 0.49);感知有用性(0.51)比感知易用性(0.27)具有更多的预测价值,可以解释EPP使用的行为意图。结论我们发现提供者重视EPP的有用性,并且大多数打算使用它。此发现尚未在以后的研究中进行测试,因为意图和实际使用可能不一致,因此对实际使用进行测试。患者使用的意愿低于发达国家的报告。我们确定了需要增加使用量的两个因素,即感觉到的便捷性和实用性,并提出了解决这些问题的实际意义。还讨论了未来的研究方向。51)比预期的易用性(0.27)具有更高的预测价值,可以用来解释EPP的使用意图。结论我们发现提供者重视EPP的有用性,并且大多数打算使用它。此发现尚未在以后的研究中进行测试,因为意图和实际使用可能不一致,因此对实际使用进行测试。患者使用的意愿低于发达国家的报告。我们确定了需要增加使用量的两个因素,即感觉到的便捷性和实用性,并提出了解决这些问题的实际意义。还讨论了未来的研究方向。51)比预期的易用性(0.27)具有更高的预测价值,可以用来解释EPP的使用意图。结论我们发现提供者重视EPP的有用性,并且大多数打算使用它。此发现尚未在以后的研究中进行测试,因为意图和实际使用可能不一致,因此对实际使用进行测试。患者使用的意愿低于发达国家的报告。我们确定了需要增加使用量的两个因素,即感觉到的便捷性和实用性,并提出了解决这些问题的实际意义。还讨论了未来的研究方向。此发现尚未在以后的研究中进行测试,因为意图和实际使用可能不一致,因此对实际使用进行测试。患者使用的意愿低于发达国家的报告。我们确定了需要增加使用量的两个因素,即感觉到的便捷性和实用性,并提出了解决这些问题的实际意义。还讨论了未来的研究方向。该发现尚未在以后的研究中进行测试,因为意图和实际使用可能不一致,因此对实际使用进行测试。患者使用的意愿低于发达国家的报告。我们确定了需要增加使用量的两个因素,即感觉到的易用性和有用性,并提出了解决这些问题的实际意义。还讨论了未来的研究方向。
