Abstract

Interactive health communication applications (IHCAs) may be particularly useful to patients and carers managing chronic disease. We have run eight focus groups with patients and two with carers involving a total of 40 participants. The focus groups were designed to seek patients' and carers' requirements of IHCAs and to identify the criteria they would use to assess them. Analysis revealed that many participants saw the value and potential of IHCAs. Even those with modest previous computer experience could use them with little tuition. The findings from this study have policy implications for the development of applications to maximize the potential benefit of IHCAs to patients and carers.

摘要

交互式健康交流应用程序（IHCAs）对于管理慢性病的患者和护理人员可能特别有用。我们与患者进行了八次焦点小组讨论，与护理人员进行了两次焦点小组讨论，共有40名参与者。焦点小组旨在了解患者和护理人员对IHCAs的需求，并确定他们用于评估这些应用程序的标准。分析表明，许多参与者看到了IHCAs的价值和潜力。即使是以前计算机经验有限的人，也只需很少的指导就能使用它们。这项研究的结果对开发应用程序具有政策意义，以便最大限度地提高IHCAs对患者和护理人员的潜在益处。
