Evaluation of the Knowledge, Practice, and Attitudes of Healthcare Workers on E-Health Systems

Abstract

This study aimed to evaluate the knowledge, practices, and attitudes of healthcare workers toward e-Health systems . The study involved 56 healthcare workers from various health facilities. In many developing countries, healthcare workers' educational backgrounds in electronic health are limited. This lack of familiarity contributes to challenges in adapting to e-Health systems, leading to ignorance and data discrepancies. The implementation of e-Health systems in developing countries faces significant hurdles, such as insufficient funding to maintain these systems consistently. Additionally, limited access to power and internet connectivity in rural areas exacerbates these challenges. The study aimed to assess healthcare workers' knowledge, practices, and attitudes regarding e-Health systems. A cross-sectional design, a type of descriptive study, was employed. The sample consisted of 56 respondents from five health facilities , selected through a simple random sampling method. Data were collected using a self-administered questionnaire.
