Healthcare professionals' intention to adopt mobile phone-based SMS and its predictors for adherence support and care of TB patients in a resource-limited setting: a structural equation modelling analysis.

Overall, intention to use of mobile-based SMS was high. Effort expectancy, attitude and facilitating conditions were significant factors that determined healthcare professionals' behavioural intention to use mobile phone SMS. Effort expectancy had a more significant prediction power than others. As a result, system forms that are easily interactive and applicable should be implemented to improve capacity building and support the adherence and care of TB patients.
