Purpose: The purpose of this study was to identify factors influencing on intention to use mobile application (app) for health promotion in middle-aged women aged 40 to 64 years.
Methods: A total of 586 women participated in the self-report questionnaires through an online survey. Data were collected from February 10 to 16, 2021. Data were analyzed using x 2 test and logistic regression analysis with SPSS/WIN 22.0.
Results: 429 (73.2%) participants had intention to use mobile app for health promotion. Factors influencing on intention to use mobile app in this study were perceived usefulness (odds ratio [OR]=5.62, 95% confidence interval [CI]=3.45~9.14, p<.001), perception of health risks (OR=1.45, 95% CI=1.09~1.81, p=.012), no experience of mobile app use (OR=0.57, 95% CI=1.09~2.59, p=.018), and obesity (OR=2.93, 95% CI=1.76~4.87, p<.001).
Conclusion: This study suggests that it is important to improve awareness about usefulness of mobile apps and health risks as a strategy to increase the intention to use app for health promotion in addition to develop mobile apps for weight management in middle-aged women. In addition, mobile app interventions at public health centers are required to manage the middle-aged women’s health as an active community-based health management.
