This study aimed to evaluate the impact of mobile health (mHealth) intervention on colorectal cancer (CRC) screening.
This semiexperimental study collected data from individuals aged 50-70 years who had no history of CRC screening. Participants ( = 350) were randomly assigned to one control and five intervention groups. The data were collected by theory-based CRC screening questionnaire before and after the mHealth intervention.
The results indicated a significant improvement in screening rates when utilizing mHealth interventions, which included text messages, videos, and telephone calls from health workers, showing a rate of 68.6% ( < 0.001) compared to 5.7% of individuals in the routine care group. Logistic regression analysis revealed that "perceived severity" and "perceived benefits" were significantly associated with increased screening uptake, compared to the routine care group.
The current study indicates that mobile phone technology significantly impacts the outreach efforts for encouraging the covered population to participate in screening.
本研究旨在评估移动健康（mHealth）干预对结直肠癌（CRC）筛查的影响。
这项半实验性研究收集了50至70岁且无CRC筛查史个体的数据。参与者（n = 350）被随机分配到一个对照组和五个干预组。在mHealth干预前后，通过基于理论的CRC筛查问卷收集数据。
结果表明，使用包括来自卫生工作者的短信、视频和电话等mHealth干预措施时，筛查率有显著提高，显示为68.6%（P < 0.001），而常规护理组个体的筛查率为5.7%。逻辑回归分析显示，与常规护理组相比，“感知严重性”和“感知益处”与筛查接受率增加显著相关。
当前研究表明，手机技术对鼓励覆盖人群参与筛查的外展工作有显著影响。
