Abstract

This study presents research into the patterns that affect the understanding and acceptance of healthcare management systems as part of a healthcare information technology infrastructure targeted at university students. The participants were 623 university students in D city and K province. This study employed a descriptive and correlational cross-sectional survey and made use of the ubiquitous healthcare management services measurement scale. 48.5% of respondents had accessed healthcare-related information on the Internet. Among the independent variables of general characteristics related to perceived susceptibility was found to have adj $R^2$ of 11% while the other dependent factors reported much lower between 0.5 to 4.7%. Female respondents, medical-related majors, self-efficacy, and intention to use had significant positive effects while health beliefs and concern had a significant negative effect on the intentional acceptance of healthcare information technology systems.

본 연구는 대학생의 건강정보기술에 대한 수용 정도와 건강정보기술 수용의도 영향요인을 파악하여 유 헬스케어 활성화 방안을 제시하고자 시도되었다. 대상은 D시와 K도에 재학 중인 대학생 623명이며, 자료 수집은 2012년 11월에서 12월까지 하였다. 연구방법은 유비쿼터스 건강관리서비스 이용 측정도구를 사용하여 설문 조사, 분석한 횡단, 서술적 상관관계연구이다. 건강정보 습득경로는 응답자의 48.5%가 인터넷으로 건강정보서비스를 이용하는 것으로 나타났다. 대학생의 일반적인 특성은 건강정보기술 수용요인 중 민감성 변량에 대해 11% 설명력을 보였지만 나머지 요인들은 0.5~4.7%로 다소 낮았다. 여성, 의료전공, 효능감, 사용의도가 정적으로, 건강신념은 부적으로 건강정보기술 수용의도에 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다.
