A Study on the Utilization Behavior and Influencing Factors of the Community Elderly Care Station
As an emerging model for community elderly care,community care service stations offer a novel approach to effectively meet the bedside and proximity care service needs of elderly individuals.Building upon the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology and incorporating the Anderson Behavioral Model,this study presents a behavioral model for the utilization of community care service stations for the elderly.U-sing questionnaire data from 10 elderly care stations in Beijing and employing structural equation modeling,the theoretical model is empirically validated.The research findings reveal that expected performance,effort expectancy,perceived trust,perceived price,and convenience conditions influence the using intention of the elderly towards community care service stations,subsequently affecting their actual using behavior.Further-more,gender,age,income level,number of children and self-rated health play moderating roles in influen-cing factors of the using behavior of the elderly towards community elderly care service stations.Therefore,this paper puts forward countermeasures and suggestions such as reasonable layout,perfect facilities,and en-hancing the elderly's sense of convenience,trust and gain,so as to promote the development of community elderly care service stations.
