ABSTRACT
In both developed and developing nations, information and communication
technology (ICT) has been acknowledged as a tool with the potential to increase the
value of healthcare systems and the efficacy of health workers. Sadly, despite several
attempts by the government and other non-governmental organizations (NGOs), the
majority of programs either fail or are abandoned because of a lack of ICT-aware and
professional people. This research looks into the possibility for health professionals in
Northern Nigeria to use information and communication technology (ICT). At
Specialist General Hospital Yola Adamawa State in Nigeria, a quantitative survey was
conducted to gather information from carefully selected healthcare professionals.
Clinical and non-clinical employees each got one of 150 on-paper surveys, of which
140 (93.3%) will be collected and evaluated using a modified technology acceptance
model (TAM). There is a significant correlation between the knowledge (dependent
variable) and independent variables (Perceive usefulness and perceive ease of use)
both at a significant level of 0.05. This indicates that the presence of prior computer
knowledge and exposure has a significant influence on health workers' perceptions
(Perceive usefulness and perceive ease of use), overall attitude toward adoption, and
eventually usage of information and communication technologies. Regression analysis
revealed that despite the lower level of prior computer knowledge of younger
participants they were more likely to score higher on perceived usefulness and
perceived ease of use whereas older health workers scored higher on knowledge and
are more likely to score lower on perceived usefulness and perceive ease of use. The
result also shows an increase in knowledge when compared with a study by Ameh et
al., (2008). This indicates that the knowledge and attitude scores of health workers in
this study reflect progress despite the lack of institutional training.
Keywords: Information Communication Technology, Perceive Ease of Use,
Perceived Usefulness, Technology Acceptance
