Abstract
The study sought to evaluate the role of perceived usefulness
in user adoption of mobile immunisation-notification system in Uganda.
Descriptive survey design was employed and structured questionnaires were
administered to 51 healthcare professionals and mothers from Gulu referral
and Gulu independent hospitals in Northern Uganda using purposive sampling
technique. Regression analysis was performed to evaluate the impact of
the identified antecedents on the intention to adopt IMUNOT through perceived
usefulness based on technology acceptance model. The findings showed
e-health knowledge, accessibility, support, content and trust as the antecedents
of perceived usefulness with 87.8% of variance. The findings suggest the
importance of perceived usefulness in the mobile Immunisation-notification
system adoption. The study provides behavioural and infrastructural strategies
for stakeholders on how to foster perceived usefulness in the system adoption.
However, more variables may be evaluated to improve the analytical capability
of the model.
