Abstract Background:Telemedicine has been used as a supportive service to assure that quality healthcare services are provided in a timely manner. The growing use of telemedicine, especially for e-consultations, is increasing patient access to care, especially during pandemics or emergencies. However, a valid and reliable tool is needed to measure its use. This study aimed to evaluate the reliability and validity of patient acceptance of telemedicine, utilizing the dimensions of Technology Acceptance Model (TAM).Methods:The researcher designed an instrument based on TAM dimensions/principles. The instrument was distributed among 244 participants via an online link found in social media, such as Twitter and WhatsApp, from August 2020 to December 2020. Content validity and exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis were used to examine the construct validity, and Cronbach’s alpha test was employed to examine the reliability of the instrument.Results:A total of 244 participants in the study and 22 items or questions had a loading factor greater than 60. The assessment suggested 6 factors to explain the variation in the participant responses, with 75% of the variation being explained by these factors. The confirmatory analysis agreed with the explanatory factors, suggesting that the number of items and latent factors had a CMIN/DF equal to 3.021 and an RMSEA of 0.095, with a 90% CI (0.105 -0.086).Conclusion:The results of the study suggest that the measure shows acceptable validity and reliability.

ABSTRACT Context: teleconsultation can be a strategic technological tool for patients to access quality healthcare while dealing with resource challenges within health industry. It can be particularly relevant during and after the COVID-19 pandemic, when the social distancing world had to scramble for new technological solutions to offer quality healthcare services with reduced personal contact. Objective: our research proposes an integrative technology acceptance model to evaluate the drivers of teleconsultation adoption by patients, aligning constructs from the technology acceptance model with other drivers, such as technology readiness, trust, and self-efficacy. Methods: analyses included descriptive statistics and structural equations modeling based on survey’s data from a sample of 415 consumers. Results: results indicate significant relationships between the assessed constructs, with particular relevance on the effects of perceived usefulness, anteceded by trust and technology readiness, on attitude and intention to use teleconsultation. Conclusion: our findings provide helpful insights for health organizations and regulators associated with the diffusion of teleconsultation. The study findings also indicate that the challenging COVID-19 pandemic context may be affecting patients’ intention to adopt teleconsultation.

The prime objective of this study is to validate the extended technology acceptance model (ETAM) by incorporating two intrinsic motivation attributes, namely, computer self-efficacy and satisfaction into the original TAM to compare its viability testing on their satisfaction of the wireless internet service at a university. Besides, it evaluates gender invariant of the causal structure of this extended TAM. A total of 285 students from five major faculties (Education, Human Sciences, Engineering, ICT and Economics) were taken as respondents. The questionnaire’s reliability and validity were established through a RASCH analysis. The results as analyzed by Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) indicate that students’ perceived ease of use had a statistically significant effect on their satisfaction. The study revealed that gender did not exert any influence as a moderating variable towards students’ satisfaction in using Wireless Internet. The findings contributed to a better understanding of the TAM and technology satisfaction among students.

This study aims to extend the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) in the context of using Cloud Computing. The hypothesized model is validated empirically using a sample collected from 307 valid responses. It synthesizes the Information System Success model and the TAM, to explain and predict the users' attitudes toward using Cloud Computing. It offers Cloud Computing Acceptance Model (CCAM) to be used for predicting the future implementation and actual usage of innovative business solutions. To examine the reliability and validity of the measurement model, the confirmatory factor analysis was performed whereas multiple regression analysis was conducted to evaluate the associations between the constructs in the proposed model. It concludes with the essentiality of establishing stronger organisational culture and building trust between users and new technology. Moreover, more attention to system and service quality is needed to assist users perceptions toward Cloud Computing usefulness and its ease of use which are crucial to for its success.

The m-Governance framework of auniversity aims to utilize the massive reach of mobile phones and harness the potential of mobile applications to enable easy and round the-clock access to the services of its affiliated institutions.  In the current mobile age there is need for transforming e-governance services to m-Governance as m-Governance is not a replacement for e-Governance rather it complements e-Governance. With this unparalleled advancement of mobile communication technologies, universities are turning to m-governance to realize the value of mobile technologies for responsive governance and measurable improvements to academic, social and economic development, public service delivery, operational efficiencies and active stakeholder engagement. In this context the present study, aims to develop and validate a m-governance framework of a university by extending Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) with its prime stakeholders so called the Heads of the affiliated institutions. A survey instrument was developed based on the framework and it was administered with 20 Heads of the affiliated Institutions. The results also showed that the Heads of the affiliated Institutions expressed their favorableness towards m-governance adoption.
