Abstract

We conducted the analysis using the data of the '2019 Korean Middle and Elderly Technology Acceptance Survey' to verify the comprehensive senior technology acceptance model. In this study, we examined the significant effect the relationship between behavioral intention to use the diital health devices and perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, gerontechnology self-efficacy, gerontechnology anxiety, facilitating conditions, attitude to life and satisfaction through the structural equation. The results of the research model are as follows. First, the usefulness and ease of use had significant effects on intention to use. Second, the self-efficacy had significant effects on the intention to use. But they had negative effect. Third, perceived usefulness, self-efficacy and anxiety had significant effects on ease of use. Lastly, self-efficacy, facilitating conditions, attitude to life and satisfaction had significant effects on perceived usefulness. These findings highlight that verified the comprehensive senior technology acceptance model in Korea.

본 연구는 디지털 헬스기기의 통합적 고령자 기술수용도 모델을 검증하기 위해 『2019년 한국 중·고령자 기술수용도 조사』 자료를 활용하여 분석을 실시하였다. 본 연구는 기존 기술수용요인인 유용성, 편의성, 확장된 기술요인인 효능감, 불안, 촉진 뿐 아니라 연령에 대한 태도와 삶의 만족도와 디지털 헬스기기 이용의도 간 유의미한 영향관계를 구조 방정식을 통해 살펴보았다. 구체적인 연구모형 검증결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 디지털 헬스기기에 대한 유용성, 편의성이 높을수록 디지털 헬스기기를 이용할 의도가 높은 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 자기효능감이 높을수록 디지털헬스기기를 이용하고자 하는 의도는 오히려 낮아지는 것으로 나타났다. 셋째, 디지털 헬스기기에 대한 편의성, 자기효능감과 불안이 높을수록 유용성 또한 증진되는 것으로 나타났다. 마지막으로 자기효능감, 촉진, 연령에 대한 태도 및 삶의 만족은 편의성과 정적으로 관계를 가지는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구는 기존의 제한적으로 연구되었던 고령자 기술모형을 확대하여 통합적 고령자 기술수용도 모델을 검증하였다는 것에 연구의 의의를 가진다.
