| dc.description.abstract | The relationship between intention to use a hypothetical health management app and other variables from a conceptual framework of the Health Belief Model (HBM) and the extended Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT2) was assessed using a convenience sample of college students (N= 176). The self-reported online survey measured perceived susceptibility to chronic diseases, perceived seriousness of chronic diseases, perceived benefits of the app, perceived barriers to the app, cues to action, social influence, facilitating conditions and intention to use the app, on 5-point Likert type scales adapted from previous studies. Multiple linear regression was used to determine relationships between the predictor variables and criterion variable. The results of the data analysis showed that individually there were a low perception of susceptibility to diseases, perception of barriers to the app and perception of social influence, and a high perception of seriousness of diseases, perception of benefits of the app, cues to action, facilitating conditions, and intention to use the app. Perceived susceptibility, perceived benefits, perceived barriers, social influence and facilitating conditions had a significant influence on college students' intention to use the app to manage different aspects of their health. However, perceived seriousness and cues to action were not found to predict college students' intention to use the health management app. | |
