In this study, the factors affecting the acceptance of mobile homecare system were investigated. The factors were assessed by employing unified theory of acceptance and use of technology (UTAUT) as a theoretical model. The user acceptance model was employed for a mobile homecare system model during system design phase. This study has two different perspectives. The first one is the use of the results of UTAUT for a system in the design phase. The second one is the investigating the relations of factors that affect the acceptance of mobile homecare by patients with chronic diseases. During the study, a mobile homecare system model was formulated based on the literature. A quantitative research was conducted to test the model. The results were evaluated by structural equation model. The results presented that most of the hypotheses were supported, and they were supported by the literature. The study showed that, for systems in the design phase, the acceptance models can be used. Furthermore, the results also presented that performance expectancy was the most significant predictor for patients’ intention to use the system. For the proposed system, UTAUT was able to provide a reasonable explanation for patients’ acceptance of mobile homecare technology for behavioral intention with variance (R2) of 68%.

Analyses of factors affecting acceptance of homecare technologies by patients with chronic diseases Kutlay, Ayşegül; Mumcuoğlu, Ünal Erkan; Department of Medical Informatics (2012) In this study, the factors affecting the acceptance of mobile homecare system were examined. These factors were assessed by taking Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) as a theoretical model. The main feature of this thesis (differing from the other studies in the literature) is that the user acceptance study model is analyzed on a system that is not realized yet. So, this study has two dfferent perspectives. The first one is the examination the results of UTAUT for a system in the des...
Psychometric properties of the brief verision of the fear of negative evaluation scale in a Turkish sample Koydemir, Selda; Demir, Ayhan Gürbüz (SAGE Publications, 2007-06-01) The purpose of the study was to report initial data on the psychometric properties of the Brief Fear of Negative Evaluation Scale. The scale was applied to a nonclinical sample of 250 (137 women, 113 men) Turkish undergraduate students selected randomly from Middle East Technical University. Their mean age was 20.4 yr. (SD 1.9). The factor structure of the Turkish version, its criterion validity, and internal reliability coefficients were assessed. Although maximum likelihood factor analysis initially indic...
Development of diagnostic platforms for single nucleotide polymorphism detection Akça, Oya; Öktem, Hüseyin Avni; Department of Biology (2014) In this study, we report the results of different simple and cost effective approaches and platforms which were used to improve single nucleotide mismatch discrimination ability and investigation of the applicability of various materials and environments for the system. As the solid support of the array platform both customly functionalized epoxy and amine combination and commercially purchased poly-L-lysine modified materials were used. Surface-probe interactions and immobilization efficiencies were invest...
Elementary Children's Judgments of the Epistemic Status of Sources of Justification Sandoval, William A.; Cam, Aylin (Wiley, 2011-05-01) This study investigated children's judgments of the epistemic status of justifications for causal claims. Twenty-six children (14 boys, 12 girls) between the ages of 8 and 10 were asked to help two story characters choose the "best reason" for believing a claim. The reasons included appeals to an authority, to a plausible causal mechanism, or to data. Authority and plausible mechanism justifications always supported the claim and were paired with data that either covaried in support of the claim or did not ...
A systematic review of technology acceptance model in e-learning context Alkis, Nurcan; Coskunçay, Duygu Findik; Özkan Yıldırım, Sevgi (2014-09-10) In this study, a systematic review was performed to identify the factors that affect adoption of e-learning systems by end-users. There are different studies in literature that examine factors affecting end-users’ e-learning acceptance and adoption. However any single study has not examined existing literature systematically in this context. This systematic review will be helpful to the people who are interested in e-learning and its adoption by providing effective factors in the literature which strongly i...
