A Study on the Intent to Use a Medical E-Learning System in Taiwan

Background: The rapid advancement of digital learning systems has significantly enhanced the convenience and speed of knowledge and skill transfer in clinical medicine. These systems enable medical professionals to access the latest medical information without being constrained by time or location. However, the question of how to effectively integrate digital learning into clinical practice remains unresolved. This research aims to explore the factors influencing medical e-learners' intentions to use e-learning systems, utilizing the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) and the DeLone and McLean Model of Information Systems Success (D&M IS success model) to deepen our understanding in this area. Methods: The systematic review, meta-analysis method, and structural equation modelling was used in this study. Research articles were included 5 studies exploring factors that influence physicians’ usage of e-learning system in Taiwan. Results: Perceived ease of use (PEOU) has a positive effect on perceived usefulness (PU) and behavioral intentions (BI) toward using e-learning system. PU influences BI to use e-learning system. Information quality has a positive effect on PU, and service quality has a positive effect on PEOU. Conclusions: The findings of this study indicate that the TAM combined with D&M IS success model effectively addresses the factors impacting physicians' adoption of e-learning systems in Taiwan. Notably, information quality and service quality emerge as pivotal determinants influencing their usage behaviors in e-learning systems.
