Sağlık hizmetlerinin daha kaliteli sunulması gibi amaçların karşılanabilmesi için sağlık çalışanlarının bilgi teknolojilerine yönelik tutumları değerlendirilmelidir. Bu değerlendirmeler, sağlık çalışanlarının sağlıkta belirlenen amaçların gerçekleştirilebilmesine ve gelecekte yapılabilecek muhtemel yeniliklere hazır olmalarına yardımcı olacaktır. Çalışmanın amacı, sağlık çalışanlarının bilgi teknolojileri ve yeniliklerine ilişkin davranışsal tutumlarını UTAUT-2 Teorisi ile incelemektir. Bu çalışma, çeşitli teknolojilere yönelik davranışsal tutumların incelenmesinde sıklıkla kullanılan UTAUT-2 ile elde edilen sonuçların yanı sıra bilgi teknolojilerine yönelik yapılabilecek yeniliklere ilişkin tutumu da değerlendirerek literatüre bir yenilik getirmektedir. Araştırmada, Yapısal Eşitlik Modeli kurularak gerekli istatistiksel analizler yapılmıştır. Yapılan incelemeler neticesinde, performans beklentisi (β=0,37, p<0,01) ve alışkanlığın (β=0,75, p<0,001) sağlık çalışanlarının bilgi teknolojileri ve yeniliklerine ilişkin davranışsal tutumları üzerinde anlamlı ve olumlu bir etkisi olduğu bulunmuştur. Çaba beklentisinin (β=-0,25, p<0,05), hedonik motivasyonun (β=-0,13, p<0,05) sağlık çalışanlarının bilgi teknolojileri ve yeniliklerine ilişkin davranışsal tutumları üzerinde anlamlı etkisi bulunmasına rağmen bu etkinin negatif yönlü olduğu bulunmuştur. Sosyal etkinin (β=0,05, p>0,05), kolaylaştırıcı koşulların (β=0,00, p>0,05), algılanan fiyat değerinin (β=0,09, p>0,05) sağlık çalışanlarının bilgi teknolojileri ve yeniliklerine ilişkin davranışsal tutumları üzerinde anlamlı ve olumlu bir etkisinin olmadığı bulunmuştur. Gelecekte, sağlık çalışanlarının teknolojilere yönelik tutumlarının değerlendirilmesinin yaygınlaşacağı beklenilmektedir.

Investigation of Health Professionals Behavioral Attitude Regarding Information Technologies and Innovations With the Utaut-2 Theory

Öz

Health professionals attitudes towards information technologies should be evaluated in order to meet goals such as presenting better quality of health services. These evaluations will help health professionals to achieve the goals that determined in health and to be ready for possible innovations that may be made in the future. The aim of study is to examine the behavioral attitudes of health professionals towards information technologies and innovations with the UTAUT-2 Theory. This study brings an innovation to the literature by evaluating the results obtained with UTAUT-2 which is frequently used in the examination of behavioral attitudes towards various technologies, as well as the attitude towards innovations that can be made towards information technologies. Necessary statistical analyzes were made by establishing the Structural Equation Model in the research. As result of examinations, it was found that performance expectancy (β=0.37, p<0.01) and habit (β=0.75, p<0.001) had significant and positive effect on behavioral attitude to the information technologies and innovations by health professionals. Although effort expectancy (β=-0.25, p<0.05), hedonic motivation (β=-0.13, p<0.05) had significant effect on health professionals behavioral attitude to the information technologies and innovations, this effect was found to be negative. It was found that social influence (β=0.05, p>0.05), faciliating conditions (β=0.00, p>0.05), perceived price value (β=0.09, p>0.05), had no significant and positive effect on health professionals behavioral attitude to the information technologies and innovations. It is expected that the evaluations of health professionals regarding their attitudes towards technologies will become widespread in the future.
