Publication Type: Abstract Abstract: Objectives: The objective of this study is to examine acceptance, intention to use, attitudes towards use and actual use of PDAs by doctor of pharmacy students. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted by administering a survey instrument consisting of 67 items to 376 doctor of pharmacy students (218 had just been issued a PDA and 158 had used a PDA for at least one year). A questionnaire based on the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) was extended to include the Theory of Trying. A five-point Likert scale was used. Descriptive data was collected and structural equation modeling using LISREL was used to evaluate PDA use. Results: Among students who were just issued a PDA, 6.9% reported extremely experienced or above average experience with PDAs. Among students who had the PDA for a year or more, 28.5% reported extremely experienced or above average experience with PDAs. Among students who used a PDA for at least one year, 81% used it to look up drug information at least weekly and 43% used it for other schoolwork at least weekly. The most reliable scales resulted from the constructs usefulness (α = 0.93), ease of use (α = 0.87), attitude towards behavior (α = 0.86), and use behavior (α = 0.86). Implications: Pharmacists and pharmacy students will increasingly find themselves needing to utilize hand held technology in their patient care activities. PDA usefulness, PDA ease of use and attitudes towards PDA use have the most influence on PDA use behavior.
