The enormous potential inherent in the use of technological enhancements has subsequently informed the deployment of technologies into mainstream health service and delivery. However, a larger population of health technology consumers, specifically patients, are touted to be significantly constrained in its usage. Against this backdrop, our study employs an integrated model anchored on the technology acceptance model and the theory of planned behavior to investigate patients' electronic health use. Our study elicited data from 360 respondents, of which 311 were deemed feasible for the study. Structural equation modeling analysis of data revealed perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use has a relevant positive effect on attitude. Furthermore, the authors found; attitude, internet dependency, perceived behavioral control and the subjective norm also have a relevant positive impact on intention to use electronic health service. Premised on the findings, recommendations about enhancing consumer electronic health use and areas for further studies are successively delineated.

预测消费者使用电子医疗服务的意愿：一种经验结构方程建模方法

使用技术改进所固有的巨大潜力随后为将技术部署到主流卫生服务和交付中提供了信息。然而，大量的健康技术消费者，特别是患者，被吹捧为在其使用方面受到显着限制。在此背景下，我们的研究采用以技术接受模型和计划行为理论为基础的综合模型来调查患者的电子健康使用情况。我们的研究从 360 名受访者那里获得了数据，其中 311 名被认为是可行的。数据的结构方程模型分析显示感知有用性和感知易用性对态度有相关的积极影响。此外，作者发现；态度，互联网依赖，知觉行为控制和主观规范对电子健康服务使用意向也有相关的正向影响。以调查结果为前提，依次描述了关于加强消费电子健康使用的建议和进一步研究的领域。
