Little is known about the benefits of social networks in the management of patients.
The aim of this study was to compare the effects of self-management (SM) education using telephone follow-up and mobile phone-based social networking on SM behaviors among patients with hypertension.
This randomized clinical trial was conducted with 100 patients. They were randomly allocated to four groups: (i) control, (ii) SM training without follow-up, (iii) telephone follow-up and (iv) smartphone-based social networking follow-up. The hypertension SM behavior questionnaire was used for data collection before and six weeks after the study.
Those patients who underwent SM education training (with and without follow-up) had statistically significant differences from those in the control group in terms of SM behaviors (p < .001). There was no statistically significant difference between different types of follow-up.
SM education using telephone follow-up and/or smartphone-based social networking follow-up influenced SM behaviors among patients with hypertension.
关于社交网络在患者管理中的益处，人们了解甚少。
本研究旨在比较使用电话随访和基于手机的社交网络进行自我管理（SM）教育对高血压患者SM行为的影响。
对100名患者进行了这项随机临床试验。他们被随机分为四组：（i）对照组，（ii）无随访的SM培训组，（iii）电话随访组，以及（iv）基于智能手机的社交网络随访组。在研究前和研究后六周，使用高血压SM行为问卷收集数据。
接受SM教育培训（有和无随访）的患者在SM行为方面与对照组相比有统计学显著差异（p <.001）。不同类型的随访之间没有统计学显著差异。
使用电话随访和/或基于智能手机的社交网络随访进行SM教育会影响高血压患者的SM行为。
