0 Introduction:

Innovation in nursing is not a new concept to the nursing profession (Kaya,

Turan and Aydin, 2015). All over the world many nurses utilizes the used of new
technology in order to improve the results of the care of health people and patients
and reduce expenses. Innovation in nursing applications is extremely important for
improving health, preventing diseases, describing and avoiding risk factors,
developing healthy life standard attitudes, and qualifying the care treatment
methods; beacuse innovation helps updated knowledge, methods and services be
invented and discovered by the institutions (ICN, 2009).
In the developing country like Philippines, the used of nursing innovation in
the government hospital is still far behind from the ideal. Most improvements like
telehealth are being observed in the private hospitals and institution where health
service is expensive. The goverment is still in the phase of upgrading in order to
achieve the goal of modernization in health services. According to the press
released issued by the House of the Senate. Senator Recto said, P7.7 billion of
HFEP's P27 billion outlay is earmarked for the acquisition of new hospital
equipment, called the Health Facilities Enhancement Program (HFEP).
Despite the fact, that we are living in the modern world of technology, the
use of mobile phones and any other electronic devices in our daily social life. Most
elderly people are being afraid to utilize the modern devices. Particularly, in the
hospitals, elderly nurses are being stucked to the traditional method of charting.
Most elderly thinks that the use of computer are for youngsters only. Computer are
for all ages and our elderly can be equally competent in using technologies (Dino,
2013).
This led to the researcher to make a study about the behavior of elderly
nurses in the government hospital towards the use of advance technology in the
nursing service.

2.0 Review of Related Literature

2.1 Theoretical Framework
This study will employ the use of Unified Theory of Acceptance Use of
technology (UTAUT) developed by Venkatesh, Morris, Davis and Davis in 2003 and
Rosentocks (1996) Helath Behavioral Model. The UTAUT proposed an acceptance
model which helps to understand likelihood of success of new technologies and
determine drives of acceptance (Sezgin and Yildirim, 2014).

3.0 Research Methods
3.1 Research Design
The researchers have decided to conduct this study in a naturalist approach.
This research approach, which is more commonly termed as quantitative studies,
generally involves the collecting and converting of data into numerical form so that
statistical calculations can be made and conclusions be drawn. Accordingly, in order
to provide causation among variables discussed in the previous section, the
research method applied was experimental more specifically, quasi experimental,
in which the element of randomization was removed.
The quasi experimental method is an evolution of the experimental method
which is a systematic and scientific approach to research in which the researcher
manipulates one or more variables and controls and measures any other change in
other variables. While experimental research is a word with a wide range of
definitions, in the strictest sense it may be what is called a true experiment.
Experimental research is often used [1] in studies where time is a priority in causal
relationships, [2] there is a consistency in a causal relationship, [3] the magnitude
of correlation is great (Experimental Research, 2011).
Evolving from the experimental method while in most aspects still much
the same the quasi experimental method characteristically lacks randomization.
The use of control groups is absent. Quasi experiments are conducted when true
experiments are impracticable of impossible (Tilley, 2006).
Quasi experimental was deemed the best method to be used in this study
due to time and financial constraints, as well as a limited subject pool from which to
choose. Issues with practicality and convenience were also taken into consideration
when deciding on which method would best suit the needs of the researchers study.
3.2 Research Locale
The researchers shall conduct the study at Valenzuela Medical Center,
Valenzuela City, Metropolitan Manila. This location was chosen in part due to its
convenience and proximity to the researchers center of operations.
3.3 Population and sampling
In accordance with the researchers quasi experimental method, at least
eight participants will be chosen through purposive sampling with the following
criteria: [1] Senior nurse, 35 years of age and above [2] not been diagnosed with
chronic illness [3] staff in the institution that the researcher chose [4] willing to
participate.

Virtually synonymous with qualitative research, purposive sampling is a type

of non-probability sampling that uses a particular subset of people and rejects
people who do not fit a particular role (Purposive Sampling , 2013). Because of the
lack of randomization, it can be argued that purposive sampling may not accurately
represent the population. However, often in research there are instances in which
probabilistic methods are simply not feasible, practical, or theoretically sensible
(Trochim, 2006).
