Abstract

Cancer related social network communities have the potential to prepare an interactive environment where the virtual relationships among cancer patients can be established. However, current research into the assessment of cancer patients’ performance using Social Network Sites (SNS) continues to be limited. There is still a lack of considering situational factors such as task and technology characteristics. The aim of this paper is to use Task Technology Fit (TTF) Theory to assess the performance of cancer patients using SNS. Based on purposive sampling, questionnaires were distributed to 178 respondents in two hospitals and four cancer support groups in Peninsular Malaysia. The results indicate that cancer patients’ performance in using SNS was determined directly by fit between the characteristics of task and technology
