Innovative technologies play a crucial role in healthcare service delivery, but evidence shows their underuse. The associations between professionals' perceived ease of use, performance expectancy, and educational training in technology usage have been poorly explored across technologies. This study explores the relationship between healthcare professionals' perceived ease of use, performance expectancy, and educational training on technology adoption. A cross-sectional study was conducted among a convenience sample of 183 healthcare profession graduates from an Israeli university. Participants were approached through the university's alumni organization. Pearson correlation coefficients were calculated to measure the associations between the research variables. Stepwise multiple linear regressions were calculated to measure the relationships between the research variables. Findings revealed low technology usage in clinical practice. Significant correlations were found between perceived technology adoption and actual usage. Performance expectancy, the importance of technology training, and professional affiliation explained 28% of the variance in usage. These findings suggest that health administrators and educators should be aware of the role of performance expectancy and previous training in health technologies in promoting and facilitating the future practical usage of these technologies.
创新技术在医疗服务提供中发挥着关键作用，但证据表明它们未得到充分利用。在各种技术中，专业人员对技术使用的感知易用性、绩效期望和教育培训之间的关联尚未得到充分探讨。本研究探讨了医疗保健专业人员的感知易用性、绩效期望和技术采用方面的教育培训之间的关系。对以色列一所大学的183名医疗保健专业毕业生的便利样本进行了横断面研究。通过该大学的校友组织联系了参与者。计算了皮尔逊相关系数以衡量研究变量之间的关联。进行了逐步多元线性回归以衡量研究变量之间的关系。研究结果显示临床实践中的技术使用率较低。在感知技术采用与实际使用之间发现了显著相关性。绩效期望、技术培训的重要性和专业隶属关系解释了使用率差异的28%。这些发现表明，卫生管理人员和教育工作者应意识到绩效期望和以往卫生技术培训在促进和便利这些技术未来实际使用方面的作用。
