Abstract

Objectives. The digital revolution has brought rapid developments to the health sector. People were taking advantage of telemedicine technology during the COVID-19 pandemic. Telemedicine is highly recommended during a pandemic because it will reduce the transmission rate of viruses, and it is considered adequate and low-cost. However, a fundamental challenge still occurs; most people need to be used to telemedicine technology. Presumably, inadequate education and lack of experience regarding the use of telemedicine are obstacles for society in utilizing telemedicine. Methods. This study is aimed at determining the factors that influence the use of telemedicine. It focused on variables such as data confidentiality, administration, and knowledge to measure potential factors that pushed people to utilize telemedicine. We used a quantitative approach, using multivariate analysis, namely, simple linear regression. Most of our respondents are people aged 18-30 years young. Results. All respondents stated that administration factors in the implementation of telemedicine were good. Through the Chi-square test, the data safety factor has no effect ( p value =0.090 or >0.05) on telemedicine implementation, while the knowledge factor has a significant effect on telemedicine implementation with a p value =0.043 (<0.005). The multivariate analysis explained that the knowledge variable influenced telemedicine use with a p value =0.033 (<0.05), meaning it contributed 1.624 times to telemedicine. Conclusion. This study discusses the factors that influence the use of telemedicine. The study’s results explain that the knowledge variable is the most significant factor influencing telemedicine use. Knowledge is an intellectual property that everyone must have to capitalize on with telemedicine. A lack of knowledge will become an information gap and a barrier for someone to reach new tools/technologies.

知识（仍然）是关键：基于管理认知和实施系统的大流行病期间远程医疗使用趋势塑造意识

目标。数字革命为卫生部门带来了快速发展。在2019冠状病毒病大流行期间，人们正在利用远程医疗技术。在大流行期间，强烈建议采用远程医疗，因为它将降低病毒的传播速度，而且被认为是适当和低成本的。然而，一个根本性的挑战仍然存在;大多数人需要习惯远程医疗技术。据推测，关于使用远程医疗的教育不足和缺乏经验是社会利用远程医疗的障碍。方法。本研究旨在确定影响远程医疗使用的因素。它侧重于数据机密性、管理和知识等变量，以衡量促使人们利用远程医疗的潜在因素。我们使用了定量方法，使用多变量分析，即简单线性回归。我们的大多数受访者都是18-30岁的年轻人。结果。所有答复者都表示，实施远程医疗的管理因素是好的。通过卡方检验，数据安全因素对远程医疗实施没有影响(p值=0.090或>0.05)，而知识因素对远程医疗实施有显著影响，p值=0.043(<0.005)。多变量分析表明，知识变量影响远程医疗使用，p值=0.033(<0.05)，对远程医疗的贡献为1.624倍。结论。本研究探讨影响远程医疗使用的因素。研究结果解释了知识变量是影响远程医疗使用最显著的因素。知识是一种知识产权，每个人都必须在远程医疗中加以利用。缺乏知识将成为信息鸿沟，成为人们接触新工具/技术的障碍。

期刊介绍： The overall aim of the International Journal of Telemedicine and Applications is to bring together science and applications of medical practice and medical care at a distance as well as their supporting technologies such as, computing, communications, and networking technologies with emphasis on telemedicine techniques and telemedicine applications. It is directed at practicing engineers, academic researchers, as well as doctors, nurses, etc. Telemedicine is an information technology that enables doctors to perform medical consultations, diagnoses, and treatments, as well as medical education, away from patients. For example, doctors can remotely examine patients via remote viewing monitors and sound devices, and/or sampling physiological data using telecommunication. Telemedicine technology is applied to areas of emergency healthcare, videoconsulting, telecardiology, telepathology, teledermatology, teleophthalmology, teleoncology, telepsychiatry, teledentistry, etc. International Journal of Telemedicine and Applications will highlight the continued growth and new challenges in telemedicine, applications, and their supporting technologies, for both application development and basic research. Papers should emphasize original results or case studies relating to the theory and/or applications of telemedicine. Tutorial papers, especially those emphasizing multidisciplinary views of telemedicine, are also welcome. International Journal of Telemedicine and Applications employs a paperless, electronic submission and evaluation system to promote a rapid turnaround in the peer-review process.
