Drus S.B.M. 57215668986 57924328400 56330463900 Behavioral research; Covariance matrix; Digital storage; Testing; Cutting edges; Hold up; Information and communication; Online pharmacies; Personal development; Pilot studies; Technology acceptance model; Technology adoption; UTAUT2; Value-added information; Surveys When it comes to consumer convenience, value-added information, and communication with their pharmacist, online pharmacies are held up as one of the most cutting-edge personal developments in the physical health sector. While online pharmacies have seen tremendous success in rich nations, there is still a long way to go before they are commonly used in developing nations like Oman. There is a dearth of data on what influences people in Oman to use internet pharmacies. By fusing the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTUAT-2) with the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM), this study presents a conceptual model for understanding what drives people in Oman to use online pharmacies. The two theories were then used to generate 12 research hypotheses. In order to perform appropriate statistical testing methods and examine the reliability of the acquired data, a survey questionnaire was provided to 35 interested respondents in this pilot project. In order to account for all of the variables, the covariance matrix method was utilized to compute the descriptive function. According to the findings, the identified criteria significantly impacted Oman's adoption of online pharmacies. As this study demonstrates, top management and politicians in Oman need to work toward raising health literacy, consumer knowledge, and understanding so that people may make educated decisions about their healthcare. By doing so, they may reap the most advantages of consumer acceptance while minimizing the risks associated with online pharmacies. � 2022 IEEE.
