Scores for all statements for ICT use, ICT skills, and items for each perceived ICT attribute were averaged to create the specific "ICT use" and "ICT skills" mean score, and "perceived ICT attributes" mean score.
In particular, the model has the capacity to robustly explain variance in the intention to use information and communication technologies (ICTs) and ICT use behaviour, taking into account the individual's perceptions of technology.
For instance, significant gender effects were reported for constructs such as teachers' ICT use, CSE, and perceived usefulness (e.g., Scherer and Siddiq 2015b; Volman and van Eck 2001).
The large amount of QUALICOPC data on different PC domains enabled us to analyse our results on ICT use with possible explanatory variables.
Our finding indicates that the level of ICT skills was the most important and statistically significant predictor of ICT use, as reported in other studies [ 35, 38, 45].
A multi-method approach will measure current ICT impact on workforce practices and develop and test new models of ICT use which support innovations in work practice.
As in Table 8, a standard multiple regression was performed between level of ICT use by healthcare professionals as the dependent variable and level of ICT skills, relative advantage, compatibility, complexity, trialability and observability as independent variables.
Thus the level of ICT skills among healthcare professionals appeared to be the most important and significant predictor of ICT use in the workplace.
Booth et al. also conducted a review of nurses using Information and Communication Technology (ICT) based on the D&M model and found the model to be effective in synthesizing basic elements of health ICT use [ 16].
In a systematic review of the impact of ICT use in health, nearly 25% of studies were conducted in one of four US medical centres, all with home-grown systems[ 16].
This can include disseminating key messages on ICTs with men through information sessions or through reflective discussions to start the process of changing perceptions of ICT use.
