Abstract: (301 Views)
Background and purpose: Acceptance of technology is the driving force for the successful implementation of e-health. Investigating and identifying the factors affecting the acceptance of information technology, efforts to strengthen positive factors and provide solutions to smooth the inhibiting factors play a major role in the acceptance of electronic prescribing. This study was conducted with the aim of investigating the views of doctors and pharmacists on electronic prescribing based on the integrated theory of acceptance and use of technology (UTAUT) in Guilan province.
Materials and methods: This study, in terms of research method, was descriptive and correlational, which was conducted on doctors and pharmacists. The research community includes doctors and pharmacists in Guilan province. In this study, according to Morgan's table, 265 doctors and 145 pharmacists were included in the study. The questionnaire of Cohen et al. (2013) was used to collect the data required for the research. the data was analyzed at two descriptive and inferential levels using spss software.
Results: There is no relationship between the expected performance and the acceptance of the electronic version (β = -0.079). There is a relationship between the expected effort and the acceptance of the electronic version (β = 0.735) and between the facilitating conditions and the acceptance of the electronic version (β = -0.362). There is no relationship between social impact and acceptance of electronic prescription (β = 0.036) and price value with acceptance of electronic prescription (β = 0.049).
Conclusion: The results of the research showed that there is a relationship between the facilitating conditions and the expected effort with the acceptance of the electronic version. It is expected that the results of the present research will be a solution to overcome the barriers to acceptance, facilitate the improvement of the prescribing system, the acceptance of electronic prescribing and the full implementation of electronic health records in the country in order to improve the quality of health services.
