This study aimed to assess the impact of Mobile health (M-health) on medication time adherence among people living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA).
The study included all PLWHA who were receiving care at the Federal University Teaching Hospital Owerri (FUTH) and Imo State Specialist Hospital (ISSH) Umugumma during the study duration. The test group (FUTH) received a 2-way text message sent three times a week and a once-a-week phone call, while the control group (ISSH) received only the standard care.
The result shows that the adherence was higher among PLWHA in the test group compared to those in the control group (P = 0.000, χ2 = 168.62, 95% confidence interval (CI): 7.22 to 16.19).
M-health intervention significantly improved the medication time adherence among the participants in the test group compared to those in the control group.
本研究旨在评估移动医疗(M-health)对艾滋病毒/艾滋病(PLWHA)患者用药时间依从性的影响。
研究对象为研究期间在奥韦里联邦大学教学医院(FUTH)和伊莫州专科医院(ISSH)乌穆古玛接受治疗的所有 PLWHA。实验组(FUTH)每周接收 3 次双向文本消息和 1 次电话,而对照组(ISSH)仅接受标准护理。
结果显示,实验组的 PLWHA 依从性高于对照组(P = 0.000,χ2 = 168.62,95%置信区间(CI):7.22 至 16.19)。
与对照组相比,移动医疗干预显著提高了实验组参与者的用药时间依从性。
