Abstract

Patients’ acceptance of healthcare-technology is crucial for better and more affordable healthcare. However, there is evidence that some patients believe using healthcare-technology is a threat to the privacy of their health-related information. Privacy calculus is a widely accepted theory to explain technology adoption behavior when it involves disclosure of personal information. The applicability and effectiveness of privacy calculus model in explaining healthcare technology adoption behavior is still unknown and requires further investigation. In this study, we propose an extended privacy calculus model incorporating health condition emotion as an additional factor that interplays with the two privacy calculus factors. We tested our model with responses from 239 participants. The results revealed that health emotion related to individuals’ on-going health condition interact with the privacy calculus components to influence their health-related technology adoption decisions. The results have important implications for both theory and practice in healthcare domain.

当我们生病时，隐私重要吗?医疗保健技术采用行为的扩展隐私演算模型

患者对医疗保健技术的接受对于更好、更实惠的医疗保健至关重要。然而，有证据表明，一些患者认为使用医疗保健技术是对其健康相关信息隐私的威胁。隐私演算是一种被广泛接受的理论，用于解释涉及个人信息披露的技术采用行为。隐私演算模型在解释医疗保健技术采用行为方面的适用性和有效性尚不清楚，需要进一步研究。在本研究中，我们提出了一个扩展的隐私演算模型，将健康状况情绪作为与两个隐私演算因素相互作用的附加因素。我们用239名参与者的回答来测试我们的模型。结果表明，与个体持续健康状况相关的健康情绪与隐私演算成分相互作用，影响其健康相关技术的采用决策。研究结果对医疗保健领域的理论和实践具有重要意义。
