We aimed to develop a self-report measure of therapist acceptance of telepsychotherapy based on the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) framework.
Using a cross-sectional survey design, 1265 therapists completed the UTAUT-T, as well as additional questions.
Confirmatory analysis indicated that the original UTAUT model did not fit the therapist context well. Exploratory factor analysis specified a better-fitting five-factor model, which showed good internal validity fit (χ = 17,753.36, RMSEA = 0.063, TLI = 0.886, SRMSR = 0.04). The five UTAUT-T subscales showed high internal consistency (Cronbach's α = 0.86) and together predicted the intention to use online therapy in the future (R = 0.42, F(5, 1259) = 181.9, p < 0.001).
The 21-item UTAUT-T offers a promising self-report measure of therapist acceptance of telepsychotherapy and intention towards using it in the future. Future studies on the convergent and predictive validity of the UTAUT-T are warranted.
本研究旨在基于统一技术接受和使用理论（UTAUT）框架，开发一种基于自我报告的治疗师对远程心理治疗接受程度的测量工具。
采用横断面调查设计，1265 名治疗师完成了 UTAUT-T 及其他附加问题。
验证性分析表明，原始 UTAUT 模型不太适用于治疗师情境。探索性因子分析确定了一个拟合度更好的五因素模型，该模型显示出良好的内部有效性拟合（χ = 17753.36，RMSEA=0.063，TLI=0.886，SRMSR=0.04）。UTAUT-T 的五个分量表显示出较高的内部一致性（Cronbach's α = 0.86），并共同预测了未来使用在线治疗的意图（R = 0.42，F（5，1259）= 181.9，p < 0.001）。
21 项 UTAUT-T 为治疗师对远程心理治疗的接受程度及其未来使用意图提供了一种有前途的自我报告测量工具。未来有必要对 UTAUT-T 的收敛和预测效度进行研究。
