Technology Acceptance Model: It’s Application in the Jember Safety Centre in Reducing Maternal and Infant Mortality

Abstract

This study posed two aims which were to evaluate the midwives’ acceptance of the JSC and to investigate a theoretical framework of the TAM when applied to the JSC. Quantitative research was conducted to 50 midwives as active users of the JSC using multiple linear regression. Usability influenced perceived usefulness, but it did not influence perceived ease of use. Privacy significantly influenced both perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use. Furthermore, perceived usefulness significantly influenced behavioral intention to use. Meanwhile, perceived ease of use did not significantly influence behavioral intention to use of the JSC. Behavioral intention to use did not significantly influence actual system use, but perceived ease of use significantly influenced actual system use. The midwives had the intention to use the JSC, but various constraints e.g., low internet signal stopped them from inputting data of maternal and infant health statuses into the JSC.
