ABSTRACT
Objective@#To investigate the factors affecting human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination behaviors among gynecological outpatients based on extended unified theory of acceptance and use of technology (UTAUT2), so as to provide insights into the development of HPV vaccination behavioral interventions.@*Methods@# Patients at ages of 45 years and younger that were admitted to the outpatient department of gynecological of Shanxi Provincial People's Hospital from October 2021 to August 2022 were recruited, and the factors affecting HPV vaccination behaviors were identified using UTAUT2.@*Results@#A total of 431 female outpatients were enrolled, including 163 patients at ages of 36 to 45 years (37.82%), 272 cases with an educational level of college degree and above (63.11%) and 253 patients with per capita monthly household income of more than 3 000 Yuan (58.70%). The coverage of HPV vaccination was 24.36%, and the main cause of non-vaccination was difficulty in high-valent HPV vaccine appointment. Price value, social impact and efficacy expectation posed a positive impact on HPV vaccination behaviors via intention of vaccination (β=0.11, 0.08, 0.07, all P<0.05) and intention of vaccination and effort expectancy (β=0.10, 0.07, 0.06, all P<0.05), and effort expectancy played a mediating effect between intention of vaccination and vaccination behaviors (β=0.28, P<0.05).@*Conclusion@#Efficacy expectation, social impact, price value, intention of vaccination and effort expectancy may positively affect HPV vaccination behaviors.
ABSTRACT
Objective: With the rapid development of the internet technology, online healthcare platform is be-ing widely paid attention and experiences a gallop development. However, the survey data show that its usage by phy-sicians is still low, proportions being about 60% only. Methods: Based on of the adoption and use of unified theory of acceptance and use of technology ( UTAUT) , this paper makes analysis on physicians’ willingness to adopt online medical service platforms and the influencing factors of this regard are analyzed systematically. . Data were collected using questionnaires and SPSS and AMOS were employed for statistical analysis and structural equation modeling. Re-sults: The performance, effort and social impact expectations, and convenience conditions have significantly positive influence on physicians’willingness to adopt online medical service platform. This adoption intention appeared to sig-nificantly affect the adoption behavior. Conclusions: The online medical service platform needs not only to publicize and promote physicians’ technical perception, but also provide the customized service based on physicians’ demand, thereby improving the matching degree of technologies and technical aptitude to promote the physicians adoption.
