ProQuest LLC, Ed.D. Dissertation, Grand Canyon University
The purpose of this quantitative correlational study was to assess if and to what extent effort expectancy, performance expectancy, social influence and facilitating conditions were related to behavioral intention to accept an app for anticoagulation management among providers, mid-level providers and nursing staff in a Department of Public Health in Southern California. The unified theory of acceptance and use of technology (UTAUT) served as a theoretical framework for the study. The four research questions focused on the relationship between performance expectancy, effort expectancy, social influence, and facilitating conditions related to behavioral intention to accept an app for anticoagulation management. The sample included 82 healthcare providers, who completed the UTAUT survey. Data were analyzed with a Spearman's correlation analysis. The researcher concluded that the variable of Facilitating Conditions had the strongest correlation, with the Behavioral Intent, with a rho value of 0.445. The weakest correlation was that of Social Influence, with Behavioral Intent having a rho value of 0.325. Effort expectancy (EE) had a rho value of 0.341, and Performance Expectancy (PE) had a rho value of 0.378, which still showed positive correlations. The study results showed that all of the variables were positively correlated with behavioral intention. The study also concluded that the variable of facilitating conditions had the strongest correlation with the variable of behavioral intention to use an app for anticoagulation management.
