Abstract
Contribution to the 13th edition of the Supporting Health by Technology Conference taking place in Groningen on Thursday, 30th and Friday, 31st of May 2024.
Background
Technological innovations are often viewed as a remedy for the challenges confronting the healthcare sector, such as demographic shifts and shortages in nursing staff. However, nurses do not consistently adopt these innovations. The primary objective of this study is to design an instrument that can gauge the factors associated with nurses' readiness for technology. While numerous earlier studies concentrated on individual factors, our research uniquely emphasizes the assessment of collaborative factors. Specifically, we have integrated two key concepts: technology readiness and reciprocity behaviour. To achieve this, the Technology Readiness Index 2.0 and the Reciprocity Instrument were jointly administered, and a thorough examination of the psychometric properties of the instrument was conducted.
