BACKGROUND
Self-care training programs can be an important means for educating the elderly in behaviours that promote health and the quality of life. Since sleep disorders, and problems related to eating patterns and general health, become more apparent with age, we aimed to investigate the effect of a self-care training program using smartphones on general health, nutritional status, and sleep quality of the elderly.
METHODS
In this randomized quality improvement trial with a pretest/post-test design, 54 healthy and independent elderly were enrolled and randomly allocated to intervention and control groups. The interventions included 21 sessions of self-care training that were presented virtually using smartphones.
RESULTS
Significant differences before and after the intervention were observed for the intervention group with respect to measures of general health, nutrition, and sleep quality.
CONCLUSION
Training in health-promoting self-care behaviours, delivered by smartphone, should be considered as a major strategy for maintaining and promoting health among the elderly.
背景
自我保健培训计划可以成为向老年人传授促进健康和生活质量行为的重要手段。由于睡眠障碍以及与饮食模式和整体健康相关的问题随着年龄的增长而变得更加明显，我们旨在研究使用智能手机进行自我保健培训计划对老年人的整体健康、营养状况和睡眠质量的影响。
方法
在这项具有前后测试设计的随机质量改进试验中，招募了 54 名健康且独立的老年人，并将他们随机分配到干预组和对照组。干预措施包括 21 次使用智能手机进行的自我保健培训虚拟课程。
结果
干预组在一般健康、营养和睡眠质量方面的测量指标在干预前后均有显著差异。
结论
通过智能手机进行的促进健康的自我保健行为培训应被视为维护和促进老年人健康的主要策略。
