Clinicians are increasingly using their devices for work at hospitals, a practice known as Bring-your-own-device (BYOD), to enhance productivity and mobility. This study aimed to determine the affecting factors of intention to adoption of BYOD policy in public hospitals from the healthcare staff's perspective.
A cross-sectional analytical study was done in 2024. The study population comprised 1130 healthcare workers from five teaching hospitals. A researcher-made and validated questionnaire was distributed among 620 samples. Data were analyzed by SPSS software using descriptive (mean and standard deviation) and analytical (Pearson and Spearman correlation test) statistics.
The mean score of facilitating conditions, perceived cost-effectiveness, perceived trust, perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, and intention to adoption BYOD was 3.90 ± 0.87, 3.87 ± 0.97, 3.83 ± 0.93, 3.76 ± 1.01, 3.07 ± 0.48 and 3.62 ± 1.16, respectively. There was a positive significant correlation between factors of perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, perceived cost effectiveness, perceived trust, and facilitating conditions with an intention to adoption the BYOD policy (P < 0.05).
Healthcare workers have partially intended to adopt the BYOD policy. Ensuring the security of access to healthcare information, provision, support and maintenance of devices used by staff in the workplace for job-related activities can play a significant role in promoting the intention to adoption the BYOD. The results of the present study can be useful for planning and policy-making to increase the adoption and acceptance of the BYOD method in hospitals.
临床医生越来越多地在医院使用自己的设备开展工作，这种做法被称为自带设备（BYOD），以提高工作效率和灵活性。本研究旨在从医护人员的角度确定影响公立医院采用BYOD政策意愿的因素。
2024年进行了一项横断面分析研究。研究对象包括来自五所教学医院的1130名医护人员。向620个样本发放了由研究人员编制并验证的问卷。使用SPSS软件通过描述性统计（均值和标准差）和分析性统计（Pearson和Spearman相关性检验）对数据进行分析。
促进条件、感知成本效益、感知信任、感知有用性、感知易用性以及采用BYOD的意愿的平均得分分别为3.90±0.87、3.87±0.97、3.83±0.93、3.76±1.01、3.07±0.48和3.62±1.16。感知有用性、感知易用性、感知成本效益、感知信任和促进条件等因素与采用BYOD政策的意愿之间存在显著正相关（P<0.05）。
医护人员部分愿意采用BYOD政策。确保医疗信息访问的安全性，为工作人员在工作场所用于与工作相关活动的设备提供、支持和维护，在促进采用BYOD的意愿方面可以发挥重要作用。本研究结果可用于规划和决策，以提高医院对BYOD方法的采用和接受程度。
