Abstract
There have been a number of projects conducted to provide health services by using information technologies in
Turkey. The aim of these projects was to establish a platform to serve health services quickly and by the most
accurate way. Although such systems provide various functionalities in theory, a new system has always been
questioned in terms of its acceptability and usability in practice. In this study, a web-based application used by
pharmacists for patient's medicine records and its registration, named as Medula, was tested for adoption of its use
in Turkey. A model was developed upon 5 constructs: Perceived Behavioral Control (PBC), System Factors (SYS),
Perceived Usefulness (PU), Perceived Ease of Use (PEOU) and Behavioral Intention (BI). It was evaluated by
conducting a survey over 2169 participants all around Turkey. The results were analyzed about the adoption degree
of Medula system considering gender differences by employing structural equation modeling. The findings
demonstrated that there are significant relations between constructs as well as a significant difference between
genders on the behavior of pharmacists. In addition to that, this study is important for being the first technology
adoption study on pharmacists in Turkish academic literature. It is believed that the study will be a valuable asset for
researchers in the field of behavioral studies in health information technologies and e-health.
