BACKGROUND
Mobile health (mHealth) has good potential for promoting self-care in patients suffering from chronic diseases. The patients' positive attitude toward this technology is a key factor for the successful implementation. The present study was conducted to investigate the asthma patients' use of mobile phone functionalities and their desire to receive self-care services through this technology.
METHODS
This survey study was conducted in Iran in 2018. The study population consisted of 146 patients suffering from asthma. The data collection tool was a questionnaire containing items on the demographic characteristics of patients, current use of mobile phone functionalities, and desire to use them for receiving self-care services. Data were analyzed using descriptive and analytical statistics.
RESULTS
Out of the 160 questionnaires distributed, 146 (91.25%) were completed. The majority of the participants had smartphones (84.9%). Less than half of the participants occasionally used mobile phone functionalities including mobile phone calls (42.5%) and mobile Internet (40.4%) to receive asthma-related information. A significant number of the participants had never used smartphone applications (72.6%) and E-mail (66.4%) to receive asthma-related information. The participants had their greatest use of Internet search, followed by social media, to receive information about asthma symptoms, allergenic and irritating substances, medicinal therapy, and how to use therapy aids. The participants were most willing to use social media for receiving asthma information, communicating with other patients, receiving reminders about doctor's appointment, and receiving warnings about the lack of asthma control.
CONCLUSION
In Iran as a developing country, asthma patients use Internet search mostly to receive instructional information and are willing to use social media rather than other mobile phone functionalities to receive self-care services. These patients believe that mobile phones are appropriate for receiving instructional information and reminders.
背景
移动医疗（mHealth）在促进慢性病患者自我护理方面具有很大的潜力。患者对这项技术的积极态度是成功实施的关键因素。本研究旨在调查哮喘患者使用手机功能的情况，以及他们通过这项技术接受自我护理服务的意愿。
方法
本调查研究于 2018 年在伊朗进行。研究人群由 146 名哮喘患者组成。数据收集工具是一份问卷，其中包含患者的人口统计学特征、当前使用手机功能以及希望使用这些功能接受自我护理服务的项目。使用描述性和分析性统计对数据进行分析。
结果
在发放的 160 份问卷中，有 146 份（91.25%）完成了填写。大多数参与者使用的是智能手机（84.9%）。只有不到一半的参与者偶尔使用手机功能，包括手机通话（42.5%）和移动互联网（40.4%）来获取哮喘相关信息。相当一部分参与者从未使用过智能手机应用程序（72.6%）和电子邮件（66.4%）来获取哮喘相关信息。参与者最常使用互联网搜索，其次是社交媒体，来获取有关哮喘症状、过敏原和刺激性物质、药物治疗以及如何使用治疗辅助工具的信息。参与者最愿意使用社交媒体来获取哮喘信息，与其他患者交流，接收医生预约提醒，并接收关于哮喘控制不佳的警告。
结论
在伊朗这样的发展中国家，哮喘患者主要使用互联网搜索来获取指导信息，他们愿意使用社交媒体而不是其他手机功能来接受自我护理服务。这些患者认为手机适合接收指导信息和提醒。
