One of the most used communication tools is WhatsApp, which increased its use due to covid-19, along with other social networks. In the educational field, students are also increasingly adopting this application for academic purposes from their computers called WhatsApp Web. However, more knowledge is needed about the factors that influence the acceptance and use of this social network. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to understand from the perspective of students the factors of acceptance and use of WhatsApp Web for academic purposes during the covid-19 pandemic. A qualitative methodology was used to achieve this objective, through fourteen semistructural interviews with students from various disciplines and universities. The findings of this study were analyzed with the unified theory of acceptance and use of technology (UTAUT). Where a fifth factor teamworkwas incorporated, being additional to the factors already existing in this theory (the expectation of performance, the expectation of effort, the social influence and the facilitating conditions). This study provides new insights as it is a pioneering research that UTAUT uses to interpret the acceptance and use of WhatsApp Web for academic purposes.

Abstract 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.

Penelitian ini membahas tentang implementasi dan pengujian sistem presensi siswa. Kehadiran siswa atau presensi di Lembaga Keterampilan dan Pelatihan (LKP) merupakan hal yang sangat utama, hal tersebut dilakukan karena untuk mengetahui kehadiran siswa dan keperluan manajemen lembaga. Masalah yang terjadi di sistem yang telah berjalan saat ini, persiapan sebelum memulai pembelajaran pengajar harus mengambil lembar presensi dan mengembalikan lagi ke bagian administrasi jika sudah selesai, serta  pelaksanaan presensi masih dilakukan secara manual sehingga rawan terjadi manipulasi. Penyelesaian terhadap permasalahan tersebut yaitu dengan membuat sistem presensi yang terhubung langsung dengan perangkat pintar berbasis android, sehingga akan mempermudah dalam presensi dan setiap siswa juga sudah mempunyai perangkat tersebut. Untuk membaca data siswa, sistem ini dibuat dengan menggunakan QR code karena unutk melakukan presensi dibutuhkan waktu sekitar 15 detik/kartu. Kartu siswa yang terdapat QR code di scan pada aplikasi android pada penyedia scan untuk melakakukan presensi. Hasil dari sistem ini dapat mempermudah dalam melakukan presensi, pengolahan data siswa oleh instruktur, dan kemudahan laporan di bagian administrasi . Hasil dari implementasi ini diujikan oleh peserta didik atau siswa dengan menggunkana metode action research dan pengisian kuesioner melalui google form. Hasil pengolahan kuesioner menggunakan model penerimaan Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT). Hasilnya dari kelima varibel UTAUT yaitu  Performance Expectancy, Effort Expectancy, Social Influence, Facilitating Conditions, dan Habbit mendapatkan hasil yang positif dan signifikan. Abstract  This study discusses the implementation and testing of the student attendance system. The presence of students or attendance at the Skills and Training Institute (LKP) is very important, this is done because it is to determine student attendance and the needs of institutional management. Problems that occur in the current system, preparation before starting learning, the teacher must take the attendance sheet and return it to the administration when it is finished, and the implementation of attendance is still done manually so that it is prone to manipulation. The solution to this problem is by creating a presence system that is directly connected to an Android-based smart device, so that it will make it easier to attend and every student already has this device. To read student data, this system is built using a QR code because it takes about 15 seconds per card to attend. Student cards that contain a QR code are scanned on the android application on the scan provider to make attendance. The results of this system can make it easier to make presence, processing student data by the instructor, and ease reports in the administration section. The results of this implementation were tested by students using the action research method and filling out a questionnaire via google form. The results of the questionnaire processing use the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) acceptance model. The results of the five UTAUT variables, namely Performance Expectancy, Effort Expectancy, Social Influence, Facilitating Conditions, and Habbit got positive and significant results.

Background Diabetes poses heavy social and economic burdens worldwide. Diabetes management apps show great potential for diabetes self-management. However, the adoption of diabetes management apps by diabetes patients is poor. The factors influencing patients’ intention to use these apps are unclear. Understanding the patients’ behavioral intention is necessary to support the development and promotion of diabetes app use. Objective This study aimed to identify the determinants of patients’ intention to use diabetes management apps based on an integrated theoretical model. Methods The hypotheses of our research model were developed based on an extended Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT). From April 20 to May 20, 2019, adult patients with diabetes across China, who were familiar with diabetes management apps, were surveyed using the Web-based survey tool Sojump. Structural equation modeling was used to analyze the data. Results A total of 746 participants who met the inclusion criteria completed the survey. The fitness indices suggested that the collected data fit well with the research model. The model explained 62.6% of the variance in performance expectancy and 57.1% of the variance in behavioral intention. Performance expectancy and social influence had the strongest total effects on behavioral intention (β=0.482; P=.001). Performance expectancy (β=0.482; P=.001), social influence (β=0.223; P=.003), facilitating conditions (β=0.17; P=.006), perceived disease threat (β=0.073; P=.005), and perceived privacy risk (β=–0.073; P=.012) had direct effects on behavioral intention. Additionally, social influence, effort expectancy, and facilitating conditions had indirect effects on behavioral intention that were mediated by performance expectancy. Social influence had the highest indirect effects among the three constructs (β=0.259; P=.001). Conclusions Performance expectancy and social influence are the most important determinants of the intention to use diabetes management apps. Health care technology companies should improve the usefulness of apps and carry out research to provide clinical evidence for the apps’ effectiveness, which will benefit the promotion of these apps. Facilitating conditions and perceived privacy risk also have an impact on behavioral intention. Therefore, it is necessary to improve facilitating conditions and provide solid privacy protection. Our study supports the use of UTAUT in explaining patients’ intention to use diabetes management apps. Context-related determinants should also be taken into consideration.

Abstract Background Hospital electronic information management systems (HEIMS) are widely used in Ghana, and hence its performance must be carefully assessed. Nurses as clinical health personnel are the largest cluster of hospital staff and are the pillar of healthcare delivery. Therefore, they play a crucial role in the adoption and assessment of HEIMSs in Ghana. This report sought to assess the “Social Influence” (SI) and “Facilitating Conditions” (FC) that support Nurses’ Acceptance of HEIMS in Ghana using the “Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology” (UTAUT) model. Methods This study applied a non-experimental survey design. An electronic platform questionnaire on smartphones was used to collect data on 660 nurses. Statistically, AMOS Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) version 22.0 was employed to examine the research model. Results “Behavioral Intention” (BI) to HEIMS use was significantly predicted by SI and FC (p < 0.001). Notably, both SI and FC had an influence on nurses’ use behavior (UB) with behavioral intention (BI) as the mediator, which explains a total of 42.1% variance in the intention of nurses to use HEIMS. Likewise, UB of HEIMS was also significantly predicted by SI (R2 = 43.2) and BI (R2 = 0.39.6) with both constructs explaining a total of 51.7% of the variance in nurses’ acceptance to use HEIMS. Conclusion Nurses’ adoption of HEIMS in terms of the UB was influenced by SI and BI, whiles SI and FC had the strongest influence on BI (serving as mediator) of UB to adopt and use HEIMS among the nurses in Ghanaian hospitals.
