摘要

Grounded in the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT), this study investigates factors influencing oncology healthcare professionals’ intentions to use e-learning within an inter-specialty training program. A cross-sectional online survey was conducted across EU/EEA/UK countries with 67 educators and 97 learners. Adapted UTAUT-based measures assessed performance expectancy, effort expectancy, facilitating conditions, attitudes toward e-learning, self-efficacy, and behavioral intention. Multiple regression analyses revealed that for educators, attitudes toward e-learning were the only significant predictor of behavioral intention to use e-learning for teaching, explaining 75.2% of the variance. For learners, attitudes toward e-learning and performance expectancy significantly predicted behavioral intention to use e-learning, explaining 60.6% of variance. These findings highlight attitudes toward e-learning as the strongest determinant of e-learning acceptance. Institutions should foster positive technology attitudes through supportive environments, awareness initiatives, and incentives to enhance digital learning adoption in oncology education.
