Description
Summary:East Java has among the top 10 maternal and infant deaths in Indonesia. East Java’s MMR 2015 is 89.6 per 100,000 of live births. Although East Java has experienced a downward trend, the number of maternal deaths is still high. These problems occurred in remote areas with limited health care facilities. The quality of maternal and infant health services can be influenced by midwife competencies. There is new health information technology for midwives to improve their competence. This study aims to evaluate acceptance of the INFOBIDAN application in a remote area. It was a descriptive research with a cross sectional study design. Research was conducted in Madura Island. The population of the research was 92 midwives. A Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) was used to analyze this data research. The result was that 69.56% midwives rarely used the INFOBIDAN application. Health information technology being needed by midwives in remote areas is based on the benefits of technology (PR=17.00) and easy to access (PR= 4.1). It showed that midwives accepted INFOBIDAN, but rarely used it due to its content. This evaluation can be used to improve the content of an INFOBIDAN application to make it suitable for midwives needed in remote areas.
