Cordially Larsen,

In the last year i've made a research using the Technology Acceptance Model with a qualitative approach and A short description is available below.

Objective: analyze the diffusion of the technological innovation “e-SUS AB strategy” in a Family health team in the West of Minas Gerais, Brazil. Method:

single case study with a qualitative approach in the light of the Innovation Diffusion Theory and the Technology Acceptance Model. The data collection included an interview and direct observation of a team’s daily work. The data were systemized in the software Atlas ti and analyzed through Content Analysis.

Results: the innovation supports the care planning because it makes individualized data available and improves the daily work. Nevertheless, its diffusion has predominantly produced a work overload and other difficulties that limit its acceptance by the health professionals.

Conclusion: the diffusion of the e-SUS AB strategy as a technological innovation has presented situations that strengthen its acceptance, but situations that can lead to its rejection were predominant.

Hi Talita

Thank you for sharing your work. I am going to use TAM in combination with the adaptive structuration theory in a qualitative approach (case study/action research).
