Abstract
The adoption and use of health information systems depend on gathering of personal health information (PHI), and trust is considered a prerequisite for sharing PHI for secondary use. However, empirical PHI research is often not explicit about the trust’s antecedents. This article aims to evaluate and enhance the conceptualisation of trust’s antecedents in empirical research involving PHI sharing. First, an analytical lens encompassing commonly acknowledged trust antecedents was constructed based on the general trust, IS and HIS literature. Secondly, a scoping literature review was conducted, encompassing 75 empirical PHI articles. Thirdly, these articles were analysed using the analytical lens. The analysis indicates 1) all included antecedents are relevant within PHI sharing research, 2) their use in the empirical literature is inconsistent. 39 of the 75 articles do not include any of those antecedents in their research instruments. Based on the review, key recommendations for conceptualising trust’s antecedents are proposed, to improve empirical PHI research.
