Factors impacting medical students’ behavioral intentions and use behavior to use mobile applications for health care escort services (MA-HCES) in Chengdu, China

A survey was conducted among 511 medical college students to collect data, and a SEM was used to test the research model. The findings suggest that perceived ease of use, attitudes, facilitating conditions, and perceived behavioral control positively influence college students' intention to utilize MA-HCES. Therefore, behavioral intention has a substantial effect on use behavior. This study introduces a novel model that can accurately forecast the behavioral intentions of medical college students to use MA-HCES, making valuable contributions to both practical application and theoretical understanding.
