Analysing the Effect of Forced Shifting Towards E- Learning during Covid-19 for Student Perceived Satisfaction Variables and Service Quality Dimensions

With the rapid spread of COVID-19 posing indefinite lockdowns globally with easy and cheap access to internet, e-learning tools are gaining popularity as a medium of learning. The area of e learning service quality is getting attention. The spate of conferences and webinars were conducted and many educational institutions have shifted from traditional means of teaching to online virtual classrooms. Many researchers previously suggested that acceptance of e-learning courses is influenced by perceived service quality. However, proper measurement e learning service quality is an issue which remains unaddressed. As far as higher education is concerned, the success, of this program shows varied results. There is a lack of studies especially in the area of student’s perception of e learning service quality in higher education context. The study also assesses the technological forced shifting in the area during covid 19. Therefore this study is initiated with a desire to assess e learning quality vis a vis student satisfaction through SERVQUAL model in higher education. In order to accomplish our objectives and in the light of extant literature review and discussion, the study utilizes adapted SERVQUAL scale. This study, Utilized a SERVQUAL Model for measuring e learning among higher education students. The study assesses unidimensionality through (CFA). Analysis was conducted to investigate the reliability and validity of the research scale, and the structural equation model (SEM) to examine the hypothesized model

The findings of this study revealed that the integrated UTAUT model is highly significant and influences the buyer's intention to adopt internet shopping for their daily needs

Moral civil responsibility of Physicians from Administrative point of view: A case study on a number of Saudi hospitals: المسؤولية المدنية الأخلاقية للطبيب من وجهة النظر الإدارية: حالة دراسية على عدد من المستشفيات السعودية

  The need for medical responsibility and to extent its relationship that can occur from physicians, as their awareness of size to error and medical responsibility that falls on them in light and existence of an effective law and legislative system in Saudi Arabia, is special to assessing the value committed to medical responsibility and the misdemeanors that are decided and evaluated, In the events of error occurring intentionally or unintentionally, the issue of medical responsibility still raises a lot of controversy due to the difficulty of linking medical sciences with administrative and legal sciences, because the field of medical work is still shrouded in a lot of confusion and ambiguity due to the complexity and accuracy of the branches of medical science. This present study seeks to shed light on the health sector, as it is supervising in issuing regulations, instructions and laws that contribute to organization and development of multiple regulations aimed at protecting the interests of country and citizen. The study concentrates in the first degree to patients who have been exposed to a medical error, with study sample of 100 individuals, and retrieved 95 questioners. The study methodology on two approaches: Descriptive method and the Field method. The study results are: 1- Increasing the number of medical teams 2- Reducing physicians assignment of additional burdens more than their actually perform as additional work they perform 3- Providing training opportunities for hospital workers to keep pace with continuous scientific development and catch up with technology to increase their ability to optimize the use of modern devices. 4- Focusing on external training courses that allow employees to exchange experiences with others. The study recommended the importance of developing team spirit within the work environment among to employees working in the hospital, to create a comfortable atmosphere, which affects the service provided to patients. And taking into account fairness and integrity in the division of work among doctors</jats:p

Risk of Fear and Anxiety in Utilising Health App Surveillance Due to COVID-19: Gender Differences Analysis

Although technology trends and acceptance have been considered crucial topics, limited research has examined stress-specific factors such as health anxiety in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic based on people’s attitudes toward a mobile health app using the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM). Accordingly, this study primarily highlights the psychological determinants stemming from the COVID-19 pandemic that affect the usage of a mobile health app. The study followed a cross-sectional design and adopted a snowball sampling technique to collect the data. The findings showed a significant association between perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, and event-related fear and Tabaud App intention. The relationships between Tabaud App intention and COVID-19 anxiety on Tabaud App usage were also revealed. The study found a significant association between perceived ease of use and perceived usefulness. Additionally, the multi-group analysis showed that only two paths related to Tabaud App intention, perceived ease of use and perceived usefulness, differed significantly between males and females. Additionally, women experienced anxiety disorders more than men. The study contributes to the previous knowledge on the field by examining the psychological determinants resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic that influence using a mobile health app, namely, event-related fear and COVID-19 anxiety. The study results may help governments, health policymakers, and health organisations in Saudi Arabia contain the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic.</jats:p

The Use of a Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) to Predict Patients’ Usage of a Personal Health Record System: The Role of Security, Privacy, and Usability

Personal health records (PHR) systems are designed to ensure that individuals have access and control over their health information and to support them in being active participants rather than passive ones in their healthcare process. Yet, PHR systems have not yet been widely adopted or used by consumers despite their benefits. For these advantages to be realized, adoption of the system is necessary. In this study, we examined how self-determination of health management influences individuals’ intention to implement a PHR system, i.e., their ability to actively manage their health. Using an extended technology acceptance model (TAM), the researchers developed and empirically tested a model explaining public adoption of PHRs. In total, 389 Saudi Arabian respondents were surveyed in a quantitative cross-sectional design. The hypotheses were analysed using structural equation modelling–partial least squares (SEM-PLS4). Results indicate that PHR system usage was influenced by three major factors: perceived ease of use (PEOU), perceived usefulness (PU), and security towards intention to use. PHR PEOU and PHR intention to use were also found to be moderated by privacy, whereas usability positively moderated PHR PEOU and PHR intention to use and negatively moderated PHR PU and PHR intention to use. For the first time, this study examined the use of personal health records in Saudi Arabia, including the extension of the TAM model as well as development of a context-driven model that examines the relationship between privacy, security, usability, and the use of PHRs. Furthermore, this study fills a gap in the literature regarding the moderating effects of privacy influence on PEOU and intention to use. Further, the moderating effects of usability on the relationship between PEOU, PU, and intention to use. Study findings are expected to assist government agencies, health policymakers, and health organizations around the world, including Saudi Arabia, in understanding the adoption of personal health records
