As an emerging field in the healthcare industry, mobile health (mhealth) has received increasing attention. Many governments are now recognizing the possible benefits of mhealth and are attempting to achieve Sustainable Development Goal 3 targets (ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages). This study examined the factors affecting users’ behavioral intention to adopt mhealth in central Taiwan by using the extended unified theory of acceptance and use of technology (UTAUT) with mobile self-efficacy, health literacy, and attitude factors. Online and face-to-face surveys were used to collect data. Structural equation modeling with the partial least-squares method was used to analyze the data collected from 632 users. The results showed that performance expectancy, social influence, facilitating conditions, attitude, and mobile self-efficacy affected users’ behavioral intention to adopt mhealth; mobile self-efficacy, health literacy, and effort expectancy positively influenced performance expectancy. The findings of this study contribute to the literature on users’ behavioral intention to adopt mhealth. Finally, the theoretical and practical implications of this study are discussed. |
