Abstract

Purpose: The study explicates the behavioral factors that determine willingness to share personal health data for secondary uses. Design/methodology/approach: A theoretical model is developed and tested with structural equation modeling using survey data from Finland. Findings: It is shown that attitude towards information sharing is the strongest factor contributing to the willingness to share personal health information. Trust and control serve as mediating factors between the attitude and willingness to share personal health information. Research limitations/implications: The measures of the model need further refinement to cover the various aspects of the behavioral concepts. Practical implications: The model provides useful insights into the factors that affect the willingness for information sharing in healthcare and in other areas where personal information is distributed. Social implications: Sharing of personal health information for secondary purposes can offer social benefits through improvements in healthcare performance. Originality/value: A broad-scale empirical data gives unique view of attitudes towards sharing of personal health information in one national setting.

分享个人健康信息的意愿：态度、信任和控制的影响

目的:本研究阐明了决定个人健康数据二次共享意愿的行为因素。设计/方法/方法:利用芬兰的调查数据，建立了一个理论模型，并用结构方程模型进行了测试。研究发现:信息共享态度是影响个人健康信息共享意愿的最重要因素。信任和控制在个人健康信息分享态度与意愿之间起中介作用。研究局限/启示:模型的度量需要进一步完善，以涵盖行为概念的各个方面。实际意义:该模型对影响医疗保健和其他个人信息分布领域的信息共享意愿的因素提供了有用的见解。社会影响:出于次要目的共享个人健康信息可以通过改善医疗保健绩效提供社会效益。原创性/价值:广泛的经验数据提供了对在一个国家环境中分享个人健康信息的态度的独特看法。
