Factors Affecting Caregivers’ Acceptance of the Use of Wearable Devices by Patients With Dementia: An Extension of the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology Model

Abstract

The results of the extended model show that social influence, effort expectancy, facilitating conditions, and behavioral intention (BI) all had <i>P</i> < .05, thus were statistically significant in explaining the perceived BI and actual use of health-care wearable devices among patients with dementia as reported by caregivers. However, <i>P</i> value for RC and TA was greater than .05, hence were insignificant.
