Abstract

Introduction: The adoption of modern technology in healthcare settings is pivotal for enhancing patient care and health outcomes. Objective: This study aimed to explore the prevailing attitudes, perceptions, barriers, and facilitators influencing the acceptance and utilization of modern technology among healthcare professionals at the King Salman Armed Forces Hospital (KSAFH) in Tabuk, Saudi Arabia. Subjects and Methods: Employing a quantitative research design, a cross-sectional survey was administered to 308 healthcare professionals, comprising doctors and nurses, at KSAFH. Results: The findings unveiled generally positive attitudes towards technology adoption among healthcare professionals at KSAFH. They recognized its potential to enhance productivity, efficiency, and effectiveness in their work. Key facilitators identified included the presence of clear organizational policies and guidelines, as well as the perceived usefulness and ease of use of technology. However, several barriers were also revealed, including inadequate training and education, lack of organizational support, and cultural factors specific to the Saudi Arabian context. Conclusion: This study underscores the importance of understanding the dynamics surrounding technology acceptance among healthcare professionals. It provides valuable insights that can inform the development of targeted strategies and interventions to optimize technology integration and improve patient care delivery within the healthcare system.
