Although extensive research has been carried out on the determinants of
mobile or wearable health care technology (mHealth), as well as on its acceptance
by patients and other health care providers, very little research has been done
on physiotherapists' perspectives on the use of mHealth in their current or
future practice. The aims of this study were to (1) explore the attitudes of
physiotherapists toward mHealth using a modified technology acceptance model
questionnaire, (2) understand the applications and delivery paradigms that are
most desirable, and (3) assess the content validity of the questionnaire. Method:
The questionnaire was administered online. Participants (n=76) were recruited
using snowball and convenience sampling. Data were analyzed using factor analysis
and partial least-squares path modelling. Results: Results indicate that
perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use were related to early adoptive
behaviour among participants. We found no evidence that age, gender, experience,
or practice setting influenced early adoptive behaviour. Participants
demonstrated favourable attitudes toward mHealth tools in clinical practice.
Conclusions: This article provides initial insights into factors that are likely
to be significant determinants of adoption of mHealth among physiotherapists.
Further work, including qualitative research, will help to identify personal and
institutional factors that will improve the acceptance of mHealth.
