Abstract
Due to Coronavirus Disease-19, interest in telehealth services is increasing worldwide. This study aimed to identify factors that affect the intention of potential users to use home monitoring services and visiting nursing services using ICT. Our analysis was conducted with 609 respondents in their 50's and 60's who have never experienced telehealth services recruited from across the country through an online survey. The results showed that factors that directly affected home monitoring services were effort expectancy, performance expectancy, social influence, privacy concern, cost concern, and health service accessibility. Personal self-efficacy, environmental self-efficacy, and health concern had an indirect effect on home monitoring services. Social influence and health service accessibility were found to have a direct effect on visiting nursing services using ICT. For more accurate results, additional studies should consider the users’ perception of individual telehealth services. In future service implementations, more effective service delivery can be achieved based on such a subgroup analysis and its findings of service-specific differences.
