Persons living with HIV (PLWH) need practical tools to self-manage their condition.
We conducted a proof-of-concept study among PLWH to assess whether patients could learn to use a personal health record (PHR) on a hand-held device (iPod Touch) to manage their condition. We began individual trainings and later adapted this to group training. We assessed usability, acceptability and also effects on self-efficacy for treatment adherence using the HIV Treatment Adherence Self-Efficacy Scale (HIV-ASES).
Nine PLWH participated in the individual training and 29 participated in the group sessions. The participants were largely middle aged, low-income and of racial/ethnic minorities. The sessions were well attended and participants fully engaged in tasks and shared learning. Most participants stated they intended to use the PHR and reported improved self-efficacy in treatment adherence (P = .05) particularly on the integration of treatment adherence into one's routine (P < .02).
Training PLWH in use of a handheld PHR shows promise.
艾滋病病毒感染者(PLWH)需要实用工具来自我管理病情。
我们在艾滋病病毒感染者中开展了一项概念验证研究,以评估患者是否能够学会使用手持设备(iPod Touch)上的个人健康记录(PHR)来管理病情。我们首先进行了个体培训,后来将其调整为小组培训。我们使用艾滋病治疗依从性自我效能量表(HIV-ASES)评估了可用性、可接受性以及对治疗依从性自我效能的影响。
9名艾滋病病毒感染者参加了个体培训,29名参加了小组培训。参与者大多为中年、低收入的少数种族/族裔。培训课程的出勤率很高,参与者充分参与任务并分享学习经验。大多数参与者表示他们打算使用个人健康记录,并报告治疗依从性的自我效能有所提高(P = 0.05),特别是在将治疗依从性融入日常生活方面(P < 0.02)。
对艾滋病病毒感染者进行手持个人健康记录使用培训显示出前景。
