| dc.description.abstract | The use of e-health services by the Libyan government has become of high concern recently. This study focused on how the main factors or elements of working capacity in terms of structural environment, technological availability, and other competence-related issues may influence nurses’ engagement in e-health. Therefore, this research was established to build a learning readiness assessment framework (LRAF) for Libyan regional hospitals based on the adaptation of e-health services in nursing education. A total of 255 questionnaires were administrated among nurses in three Libyan regional hospitals. After filtering the data, only 200 valid questionnaires were analyzed. The exploratory factor analysis (EFA) result showed that structural readiness was explained by five different factors (two factors each for human resources and hardware availability, and one factor for policy). Technological readiness was explained by eight factors (one factor for software availability, two factors each for technical support and networking, and three factors for the connectivity), whereas competency readiness was explained by six factors (one factor for appreciation, three factors for ability, and two factors for motivation). Subsequently, the factors were verified under the main domains of structural readiness, technological readiness, and competency readiness. In addition, structural readiness, in terms of human resource and hardware availability; technological readiness, in terms of software availability, networking, connectivity, and technical support; and competency readiness, in terms of ability and motivation, were significantly correlated with the nurses’ engagement to use e-health. xiv In conclusion, it is clear that the various stakeholders should participate and be involved in the e-health strategy development process for the successful implementation of e-Health initiatives in the health care system | en_US |
