Abstract

The quality of asthma control plays a vital role in the asthma self-management to find out how well the asthma symptoms have been controlled. A measuring tool often implemented to determine the condition is Asthma Control Test, or for short, ACT. In this modern digital era, developing the ACT to be a smartphone app seems like a good idea. In Indonesia, however, it is still relatively new and not yet popular. Therefore, the main objective of this study was to determine variables of perceived usefulness variables and perceived ease of use variables in user acceptance variables of the ACT app. This study applied an explanatory method with a quantitative approach. The participants of study were asthmatics with the following criteria: aged 19–22 years old, having a history of asthma, and having installed and run the ACT app for four weeks. A purposive sampling model was adopted with 100 participants, and the instruments included ACT app and a Technology Acceptance Model questionnaire. Additionally, a descriptive statistic method was employed with the use of multiple linear regression to prove the study hypotheses. The findings confirmed that both variables had a positive and significant effect on user acceptance variables with a significant value of 0.02 and 0.01, respectively. In conclusion, the app provided benefits and convenience for its users. Therefore, the app was accepted as an alternative medium to assess the quality of asthma control in the last four weeks.
