We present the findings of a qualitative pilot study designed to describe the experience of HIV medication adherence using a mobile phone application. Nine semi-structured focus group discussions were conducted over a 3-month period at an AIDS Services Organization in Central Texas. The data were analyzed following the principles of thematic analysis. During analysis, four themes were identified, and relations between these themes were delineated to reflect the experiences of the 23 participants. The mobile phone application, Care4Today™ Mobile Health Manager, was the intervention tool. Collection of focus group discussion outcomes over a 3-month period with baseline versus end-of-study data determined the feasibility and acceptability of this medication adherence intervention. The findings suggest that when individuals are offered the necessary resources, such as a mobile phone medication reminder application, they may have greater success in performing the behavior.
我们展示了一项定性试点研究的结果,该研究旨在描述使用手机应用程序坚持服用抗艾滋病毒药物的经历。在德克萨斯州中部的一个艾滋病服务组织,我们在3个月的时间里进行了9次半结构化焦点小组讨论。数据按照主题分析的原则进行了分析。在分析过程中,确定了四个主题,并描绘了这些主题之间的关系,以反映23名参与者的经历。手机应用程序Care4Today™移动健康管理器是干预工具。通过在3个月的时间里收集焦点小组讨论结果,并对比基线数据和研究结束时的数据,确定了这种药物依从性干预措施的可行性和可接受性。研究结果表明,当为个人提供必要的资源,如手机药物提醒应用程序时,他们在执行该行为方面可能会取得更大的成功。
