Implication

Mixed-methods study demonstrates low utilization of e-health services in rural primary care centers, highlighting persistent infrastructural and training barriers.

Key Points

To evaluate the effectiveness, public awareness, user readiness, and implementation barriers of e-health services at the Upazila Health Complex level in Bangladesh.
Conducted a mixed-methods investigation in Bangladesh utilizing simple random sampling for a quantitative cross-sectional survey (N = 384).
Gathered qualitative data via purposive face-to-face interviews with healthcare recipients (N = 16) and healthcare providers (N = 10).
Although 81.0% of survey respondents had internet access at home, 68.0% had never used e-health services.
Quantitative scores revealed low overall awareness (Mean = 2.53), contrasted with high readiness to use e-health (Mean = 4.10), high perceived benefits (Mean = 4.25), and high perceived barriers (Mean = 4.21).
Qualitative interviews identified key adoption barriers, including shortages of ICT equipment, lack of skilled personnel, insufficient training, and weak integration into existing health systems.
