“…Even though the smartphone is a popular device, capable of performing technology-based tasks, its use might not be welcome in a hospital. Authors in [9] confirmed that a mobile health application is generally accepted by the public to be integrated with the existing system of a hospital. Their study suggested eight factors that need to be considered when implementing mobile applications which were Hedonic Motivation, Performance, Expectancy, Social Influence, Effort Expectancy, Price Value, Habit, Facilitating Conditions, and Behavior.…”

“…Utilizing mobile applications for hospital management including the research to study the level of acceptance of mobile health applications [9] is an open research subject with many areas of interest [9][10][11][12][13][14]. Even though the smartphone is a popular device, capable of performing technology-based tasks, its use might not be welcome in a hospital.…”

Bed management is one of the most crucial tasks in a hospital. A desktop-based (PC) information technology system has been widely adopted to assist this operation. The fixed location and the limited amount of available PCs shared among staff for different routine tasks can cause delays in bed information updating and therefore delays to the bed management processes. With the penetration of smartphones, a mobile-based application becomes a reliable alternative solution for bed management to complement the existing system. Smartphones offer a few benefits, especially mobility because users can update the information from any place and at any time. Our aim was to study the applicability of a mobile-based application for assisting bed management operation. The application consisted of ward-based bed information visualization, bed information updating, and ward information updating modules. Observation and interviews with expert users were performed to outline the required functions of the application. On a Likert 1-5 scale, the mobile application achieved a mean score of 3.45 for usefulness, 3.40 for ease of use, and 3.42 for satisfaction. Meanwhile, the respondents were also concerned about the mobile data consumption of the app, which took up 45.8% of the negative feedback. On the positive side, the respondents agree that the mobile application helps them in the bed management operation.

“…The first factor is Internet access behaviour that showed someone's health literacy. Other researchers found that Internet usage for health purposes is influenced by social influence (Al-Azzam et al, 2019;Duarte and Pinho, 2019), Internet facility access (Yuan et al, 2015;Al-Azzam et al, 2019;Duarte and Pinho, 2019), and motivation (Yuan et al, 2015). Furthermore, several studies have confirmed the significant impact of perceived Internet health information on Internet usage for health purposes (Lucassen and Schragen, 2013;Westerman et al, 2014;Lin et al, 2016;Kim et al, 2019).…”

“…Based on UTAUT, Internet usage can be influenced by the Internet facility access (Venkatesh et al, 2012). Some researchers have revealed that Internet usage for health purposes is influenced by Internet facility access (Yuan et al, 2015;Al-Azzam et al, 2019;Duarte and Pinho, 2019). Given this, the fourth hypothesis of the study was formulated as follows.…”

“…The first stream viewed that social influence is the advice given by people who are considered important for someone to do something (e.g. Fitzgerald et al, 2013;Yuan et al, 2015;Al-Azzam et al, 2019;Duarte and Pinho, 2019). Furthermore, the first stream viewed the role of social influence in shaping behaviour is manifested in the form of the injunctive norm.…”

PurposeThe objective of this paper is to analyse the simultaneous effect of intention, attitude, knowledge, injunctive norm, descriptive norm, facility access, perceived Internet health information, hedonic motivation, utilitarian motivation, and perceived threat of non-communicable diseases (NCD) on Internet usage for health purposes.Design/methodology/approachThe empirical data were collected through a survey. The respondents of the survey are 369 Jakarta residents. Multiple regression analysis was conducted.FindingsInternet usage for health purposes is significantly affected by intention, knowledge, descriptive norm, and the perceived threat of NCD. Internet usage for health purposes is not influenced by attitude, facility access, perceived Internet health information, hedonic and utilitarian motivation.Research limitations/implicationsThis research was conducted only in Jakarta. It also employed a purposive sampling technique. Future research should be conducted in other locations and used a probability sampling technique.Practical implicationsTo improve the level of Internet usage for health purposes, it is essential to increase the public’s intention to use the Internet for health purposes, their knowledge on Internet usage for health purposes, and their awareness of the dangers of NCD. It is also important to persuade the community influential leaders/persons to use the Internet for health purposes.Originality/valueThis study is the first to develop and test an Internet usage for health purposes model that involves intention, attitude, knowledge, injunctive norm, descriptive norm, facility access, perceived Internet health information, hedonic motivation, utilitarian motivation, and perceived threat of NCD.

PurposeThis study aims to analyse the influence of descriptive norm, perceived behavioural control, perceived threat of non-communicable disease (NCD), healthy food extension education frequency, the frequency of healthy food community group meetings, healthy food-related newspapers/magazines usage frequency, healthy food-related websites usage frequency and healthy food-related social media usage frequency towards traditional functional food consumption behaviour, especially tempeh, in Indonesia.Design/methodology/approachThis study collected data from 99 respondents who consumed traditional functional food. The data were analysed using multiple regression.FindingsTraditional functional food consumption behaviour is significantly influenced by descriptive norm, perceived behavioural control and the frequency of healthy food community group meetings. The traditional functional food consumption behaviour is not affected by the perceived threat of NCD, healthy food extension education frequency, healthy food-related newspapers/magazines usage frequency, healthy food-related websites usage frequency and healthy food-related social media usage frequency.Research limitations/implicationsThis research investigated only one functional food type and employed a purposive sampling technique. Future research should be conducted in other contexts to examine the stability of the research findings.Practical implicationsTo improve traditional functional food consumption, it is essential to ensure that people can easily consume traditional functional food. It is also essential to develop an extension education strategy that involves the community's influential person/leader and healthy food community group meetings.Originality/valueThis paper is the first that investigates traditional functional foods consumption behaviour.
