description OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to evaluate the willingness of patients with HIV/AIDS in Henan province to accept mobile information follow-up, to find the key factors that affect behavioral willingness to accept such follow-up, to explore the internal mechanism of the mobile service, and to provide a theoretical rationale for the further promotion of mobile follow-up. METHODS: This study used the technology acceptance model (TAM) as its main theoretical tool, which adopted a stratified random sampling method, and investigated 284 patients with HIV/AIDS in area six of Sanmenxia City. An on-site questionnaire survey method was adopted for this study. Confirmatory factor analysis was used for structural validity, with Cronbach's coefficient used for reliability. Data analysis mainly used SPSS23.0 and AMOS23.0 software. RESULTS: The acceptance rate of the HIV/AIDS mobile follow-up service was 68.53%. In the study, product factors (PFs) were considered important in the indirect path of the TAM. Our TAM model suggested that high perceived usefulness (PU), perceived ease of use (PEU), and perceived innovativeness (PI) of the service were significant in improving mobile health (mHealth) acceptance among patients with HIV/AIDS in China. Subjective norms (SNs) also contributed to popularizing the service in the HIV/AIDS community. The model fitting was considered acceptable (root mean square error of approximation, RMSEA = 0.074; goodness of fit index, GFI = 0.905; comparative fit index, CFI = 0.963, and Tucker-Lewis index, TLI = 0.593). CONCLUSION: PFs and SNs exerted an important influence on the behavioral intentions of the patients with HIV/AIDS who accepted mobile health. PU was another important factor affecting behavioral intention. The practicality of mHealth services was crucial. Convenience and the innovativeness of the experience with the service will be conducive to the promotion and use of mHealth follow-up services.
