Popis: Introduction: Mobile health (mHealth) is a crucial technology that plays a pivotal role in improving the quality of healthcare services. This study aimed to identify the effective factors in the acceptance of mHealth among medical sciences students in Iran, according to Technology Acceptance Model (TAM). Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in 2019, involving students from a medical sciences university in Iran. Participants were selected through simple random sampling, and a total of 300 completed questionnaires were collected. The data were gathered using the standard questionnaire of the TAM. Data analysis was performed using statistical tests such as independent sample t-test, ANOVA analytical tests, correlation, and regression in SPSSv26 software.
