SUMMARY:

Introduction: The use of information in the field of health becomes increasingly essential in care and administrative practice. As a way of optimizing the use of this information in health, several countries have been investing in the development and improvement of digital strategies in search of health information systems (SIS) with greater connectivity and interoperability. Following this line, Brazil has adopted and implemented a series of actions in order to establish a Digital Health strategy. Among the innovations of the e-SUS APS strategy, the implementation of the e-SUS Território application, which aims to computerize the work of Community Health Agents (CHAs), stands out. It is believed that knowledge of the usability and intended use of the e-SUS Territory application by ACS is necessary for the success of this new technology. Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the behavioral intention to use the e-SUS Território application of the e-SUS APS strategy by Community Health Agents (CHA). Method: Method: This is an analytical cross-sectional study that used the System Usability Scale (SUS) and the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT2). The population of this study consisted of a probabilistic sample of CHAs from a health macro-region. Data collection took place online (web based-survey), due to the Covid-19 pandemic, and the validated instruments referring to the two models were adopted. Stata software version 14 was used to aid in the analyses. Initially, a descriptive analysis was performed and then a Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA). Results: The SUS score obtained was 55.3 points, evidencing the marginal usability of the e-SUS Territory application. In the analysis of the structural equation of the UTAUT2 model, the behavioral intention to use was positively influenced by the habit construct, which is directly influenced by age. Conclusion: The e-SUS Territory application has average usability, thus ensuring a minimum of success and effort in its use.
