Objective:
The popularity of the "bring your own device (BYOD)" concept has grown in recent years, and its application has extended to the healthcare field. This study was aimed at examining nurses' acceptance of a BYOD-supported system after a 9-month implementation period.
Methods:
We used the technology acceptance model to develop and validate a structured questionnaire as a research tool. All nurses (n = 18) responsible for the BYOD-supported wards during the study period were included in our study. A 5-point Likert scale was used to assess the degree of disagreement and agreement. Statistical analysis was performed in SPSS version 24.0.
Results:
The questionnaire was determined to be reliable and well constructed, on the basis of the item-level content validity index and Cronbach α values above 0.95 and 0.87, respectively. The mean constant values for all items were above 3.95, thus suggesting that nurses had a positive attitude toward the BYOD-supported system, driven by the characteristics of the tasks involved.
Conclusions:
We successfully developed a BYOD-supported system. Our study results suggested that nursing staff satisfaction with BYOD-supported systems could be effectively increased by providing practical functionalities and reducing clinical burden. Hospitals could benefit from the insights generated by this study when implementing similar systems.
