To measure the factors influencing on the adoption of antenatal care conversation mapping among health care providers in Riyadh (Saudi Arabia), using the diffusion innovation theory.
88 healthcare providers (Riyadh) were recruited using a non-probability convenient sampling technique were trained on how to use a newly developed antenatal care conversation map. Data was collected by self-administrated questionnaire on health education services, adoption of conversation map and diffusion of innovation variables. The JMP statistical software from SAS version 14 was used to perform data analysis.
Printable tools were most common as used by 72.7% of participants and 83.0% of them did not hear about conversation map. The total mean score of diffusion of innovation variables showed was in general high. The total mean score of relative advantage and observability was high in participants aged between 40 to less than 50 years, while the total mean score of compatibility, complexity, and trialability was high in participants aged from 50 years and more. Significant differences were obtained in both compatibility and trialability considering the health educators specialty, p = 0.03 and p = 0.027 respectively. The linear correlations between diffusion of innovation variables was significantly positive (p-value <0.01).
All of diffusion of innovation variables were positive as per the opinion of the participants. Applying the conversation map on other health topics in Saudi Arabia and other Arabic-speaking countries is warranted. Measuring and evaluating the adoption rate of conversation mapping among health care providers on other health topics should be explored.
运用创新扩散理论，衡量影响沙特利雅得医疗保健提供者采用产前保健对话图的因素。
采用非概率便利抽样技术，招募了 88 名医疗保健提供者（利雅得），对他们进行了关于如何使用新开发的产前保健对话图的培训。通过自我管理的问卷收集健康教育服务、对话图采用和创新扩散变量的数据。使用 SAS 版本 14 的 JMP 统计软件进行数据分析。
打印工具是最常见的工具，有 72.7%的参与者使用，83.0%的参与者没有听说过对话图。创新扩散变量的总平均分普遍较高。40 岁以下参与者的相对优势和可观察性总分较高，而 50 岁及以上参与者的兼容性、复杂性和试验性总分较高。考虑到健康教育者的专业，在兼容性和试验性方面都有显著差异，p=0.03 和 p=0.027。创新扩散变量之间的线性相关性呈显著正相关（p 值<0.01）。
根据参与者的意见，所有创新扩散变量均为正。在沙特阿拉伯和其他阿拉伯语国家的其他健康主题上应用对话图是有必要的。应该探索衡量和评估医疗保健提供者在其他健康主题上采用对话图的速度。
