PURPOSE
This pilot study assessed the feasibility, acceptability, and utility of a text messaging system that allowed teenagers with asthma to generate and control medical reminders sent to their mobile phones.
METHODS
The 12 teens in the study group were able to create their own reminder text messages, add or change reminders, and determine when and how often the messages were sent to their cell phone.
RESULTS
In total, 18 of the 21 unique messages created were reminders to take medication. No teen made changes to their original text messages or delivery schedule on their own. They gave high ratings on the usefulness, acceptability, and ease of use of the text messaging system. Self-reported asthma control at baseline was similar for both the study and comparison groups and did not change significantly.
CONCLUSIONS
Allowing teens to control the timing and content of reminder text messages may support self-management of chronic disease.
目的
本试点研究评估了一种短信系统的可行性、可接受性和实用性,该系统允许患有哮喘的青少年生成并控制发送到他们手机上的医疗提醒。
方法
研究组中的12名青少年能够创建自己的提醒短信,添加或更改提醒,并确定短信发送到他们手机的时间和频率。
结果
总共创建的21条独特短信中有18条是服药提醒。没有青少年自行更改他们原来的短信或发送时间表。他们对短信系统的有用性、可接受性和易用性给予了高度评价。研究组和对照组在基线时自我报告的哮喘控制情况相似,且没有显著变化。
结论
允许青少年控制提醒短信的时间和内容可能有助于慢性病的自我管理。
