Choi JY, Ryu EJ, Jin X. Development of pictogram-based content of self-management health information for Korean patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Int J Older People Nurs 2024; 19:e12582. [PMID: 37904631 DOI: 10.1111/opn.12582] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/01/2022] [Revised: 09/15/2023] [Accepted: 10/03/2023] [Indexed: 11/01/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Adherence to self-management greatly impacts patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients. However, most patients with COPD have a limitation in understanding text-based self-management plans owing to low health literacy. Thus, strategies to improve self-management in patients with COPD should be developed. OBJECTIVES This study aimed to develop pictogram-based content comprising self-management health information for patients with COPD. METHODS Items for COPD self-management health information were selected based on in-depth interviews with patients and text network analysis conducted in our previous study and a systematic literature review to develop preliminary pictogram-based content. Then, 30 patients with COPD and 10 healthcare professionals (HCPs) were recruited to evaluate the preliminary content using a client satisfaction questionnaire with a maximum score of 32. RESULTS Content was developed with one item related to disease knowledge while the other 20 concerned self-management. Patients (28.70 ± 2.94) and HCPs (27.40 ± 2.84) evaluated the content as high quality with adjustments made to increase the size of the letters and shorten the number of items for readability. Twenty-one items were collated in the final booklet, while 14 of the 21 items were incorporated into a poster. CONCLUSIONS This study indicates that the pictogram-based content was sufficiently well designed and received good evaluations from both patients with COPD and HCPs. Therefore, it may have prospects for enhancing self-management in patients with COPD. However, the effect of the content on the outcomes of older patients with COPD and low health literacy will need to be validated in future research.

Byrne T, Murray N, McDonnell-Naughton M, Rowan NJ. Perceived factors informing the pre-acceptability of digital health innovation by aging respiratory patients: a case study from the Republic of Ireland. Front Public Health 2023; 11:1203937. [PMID: 37942252 PMCID: PMC10628059 DOI: 10.3389/fpubh.2023.1203937] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/11/2023] [Accepted: 09/22/2023] [Indexed: 11/10/2023] Open
Abstract
It is appreciated that digital health is increasing in interest as an important area for efficiently standardizing and developing health services in Ireland, and worldwide. However, digital health is still considered to be in its infancy and there is a need to understand important factors that will support the development and uniform uptake of these technologies, which embrace their utility and ensure data trustworthiness. This constituted the first study to identify themes believed to be relevant by respiratory care and digital health experts in the Republic of Ireland to help inform future decision-making among respiratory patients that may potentially facilitate engagement with and appropriate use of digital health innovation (DHI). The study explored and identified expert participant perceptions, beliefs, barriers, and cues to action that would inform content and future deployment of living labs in respiratory care for remote patient monitoring of people with respiratory diseases using DHI. The objective of this case study was to generate and evaluate appropriate data sets to inform the selection and future deployment of an ICT-enabling technology that will empower patients to manage their respiratory systems in real-time in a safe effective manner through remote consultation with health service providers. The co-creation of effective DHI for respiratory care will be informed by multi-actor stakeholder participation, such as through a Quintuple Helix Hub framework combining university-industry-government-healthcare-society engagements. Studies, such as this, will help bridge the interface between top-down digital health policies and bottom-up end-user engagements to ensure safe and effective use of health technology. In addition, it will address the need to reach a consensus on appropriate key performance indicators (KPIs) for effective uptake, implementation, standardization, and regulation of DHI.

Internet-Based Medical Service Use and Eudaimonic Well-Being of Urban Older Adults: A Peer Support and Technology Acceptance Model. INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH AND PUBLIC HEALTH 2021; 18:ijerph182212062. [PMID: 34831817 PMCID: PMC8618015 DOI: 10.3390/ijerph182212062] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/26/2021] [Revised: 11/12/2021] [Accepted: 11/14/2021] [Indexed: 11/17/2022]
Abstract
Currently, internet services are developing rapidly, and the relationship between specific types of internet services and the well-being of older adults is still unclear. This study took a total of 353 urban older adults aged 60 years and above as research objects to explore the impact of the use behavior toward internet-based medical services (IBMS) on their well-being through an online questionnaire. This study integrated well-being theory and peer support theory, constructed an extended structural equation model of technology acceptance based on the technology acceptance model (TAM), and analyzed the variable path relationship. The results confirm the proposed model: older adults improved their eudaimonic well-being through using IBMS; perceived usefulness significantly affected the older adults’ attitudes towards IBMS; perceived ease of use significantly affected the use of IBMS through mediation; peer support significantly affected older adults’ attitudes, willingness, actual use, and well-being in the process. This study proposes that facilitating IBMS use for older adults in the development and design of internet technology programs should be considered in order to provide them with benefits. Moreover, paying attention to peer support among older adults plays an important role in the acceptance of new technologies and improving their well-being. The “peer support” of this study expanded and contributed to the research on the impact on older adults’ well-being and the construction of a technology acceptance model. The peer support in this study extended the influence factor of eudaimonic well-being and contributed to the further development of the TAM.

Oshni Alvandi A, Bain C, Burstein F. Understanding digital health ecosystem from Australian citizens' perspective: A scoping review. PLoS One 2021; 16:e0260058. [PMID: 34780547 PMCID: PMC8592460 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0260058] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/20/2021] [Accepted: 10/30/2021] [Indexed: 12/17/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Digital health (DH) and the benefits of related services are fairly well understood. However, it still is critical to map the digital health care landscape including the key elements that define it as an ecosystem. Particularly, knowing the perspectives of citizens on this digital transformation is an important angle to capture. In this review we aim to analyze the relevant studies to identify how DH is understood and experienced by Australian citizens and what they may require from DH platforms. MATERIALS AND METHODS A scoping literature review was conducted across several electronic databases (ACM Digital Library, OVID, PubMed, Scopus, IEEE, Science Direct, SAGE), as well as grey literature. Additionally, citation mining was conducted to identify further relevant studies. Identified studies were subjected to eligibility criteria and the final set of articles was independently reviewed, analyzed, discussed and interpreted by three reviewers. RESULTS Of 3811 articles, 98 articles met the inclusion criteria with research-based articles-as opposed to review articles or white papers- comprising the largest proportion (72%) of the selected literature. The qualitative analysis of the literature revealed five key elements that capture the essence of the digital health ecosystem interventions from the viewpoint of the Australian citizens. The identified elements were "consumer/user", "health care", "technology", "use and usability", "data and information". These elements were further found to be associated with 127 subcategories. CONCLUSIONS This study is the first of its kind to analyze and synthesize the relevant literature on DH ecosystems from the citizens' perspective. Through the lens of two research questions, this study defines the key components that were found crucial to understanding citizens' experiences with DH. This understanding lays a strong foundation for designing and fostering DH ecosystem. The results provide a solid ground for empirical testing.

Abstract
[Background]: In recent years, aging has become a global social problem. Intelligent health management technology (IHMT) provides solutions for the elderly to deal with various health risks. However, the elderly are facing many difficulties in using IHMT. Studying the application types of IHMT and the influencing factors of the elderly’s acceptance of it will help to improve the use behavior of the elderly. [Methods]: This paper summarizes the application types of IHMT, identifies the influencing factors of the elderly’s adaption of IHMT, and makes a systematic comment on the influencing factors. [Results]: We divide the different functions of IHMT for the elderly into four types: self-monitoring, medical care, remote monitoring, and health education. The influencing factors are divided into three types: individual, social, and technology. [Conclusions]: This study finds that IHMT’s application covers all aspects of the health services of the elderly. Among these applications, self-monitoring is the most used. We divided the influencing factors of the elderly’s acceptance of IHMT into three categories and nine subcategories, having 25 variables.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This scoping review has been conducted to summarise the information needs of internet users and their requirements for online health information. METHODS We searched MEDLINE, Web of Science and Scopus up to July 2019. Qualitative, quantitative and mixed-method studies were included and a thematic synthesis with category formation and exact description of the items was carried out. RESULTS 118 studies were included. To address all users' needs mentioned in the included studies, we grouped them into nine main categories: authority, comprehension, currency, evidence-based information, exchange with others, independence, purpose, services, user experience. The evaluation showed that website users wanted qualifications of authors to be cited. Users preferred health information that offered interactive elements and resources for relatives, whilst also providing an opportunity for online contact with others. The ease with which information was accessed and the intelligibility of texts were regarded as being very important to users. CONCLUSION Given the rapid evolvement and changes of online health information, it is crucial to provide up to date insights and a comprehensive overview of the range of criteria. PRACTICE IMPLICATIONS With the results obtained through this scoping review, the creators of online health information could be assisted in providing user-specific resources.

Int J Chron Obstruct Pulmon Dis 2021; 16:1-12. [PMID: 33447024 PMCID: PMC7802487 DOI: 10.2147/copd.s264365] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/05/2020] [Accepted: 12/11/2020] [Indexed: 11/24/2022] Open
Abstract
Purpose There have been calls for more knowledge of activities of daily living (ADL) performance in order to address interventions in pulmonary rehabilitation effectively. Everyday technology (ET) has become an integrated dimension of ADL, impacting the ways in which ADL is performed. To improve everyday functioning and quality of life, the use of ADL and ET use needs to be evaluated and addressed effectively in interventions. Therefore, the aim of this study was twofold: 1) to explore the quality of ADL performance, and 2) to investigate the relationship between observation and self-reported ADL performance and ability to use everyday technologies in people living with COPD. Methods This cross-sectional study involved 84 participants aged 46–87 years. Participants were recruited through healthcare centres in the Northern Region of Denmark using a convenience sampling procedure. Data were collected using standardized assessments that investigated different ADL perspectives: self-reported ADL tasks and ET use, observed motor and process ability, and need for assistance. Data were analysed and presented using descriptive statistics and Pearson’s correlation coefficient. Results The most affected ADL tasks were mobility within or outside the home, lower dressing, bathing, pedicuring, cooking, shopping, cleaning and washing clothes. New insights into the quality of ADL performance in people living with COPD were presented in terms of detailed ADL motor skills and ADL process skills, as well as the predicted need for support to function in the community. Moreover, new insights into the relationship between observation and self-reported ADL performance (r=0.546, p<0.01; r=0.297, p<0.01) and between ADL performance and self-perceived ability to use ET (r=0.524, p<0.01; r=0.273, p<0.05; r=0.044, p=0.692) were presented. Conclusion Overall, the knowledge from the present study is valuable for focusing interventions that address challenging ADL performance and ET use through relevant and realistic activities. The ability to use ET is important to evaluate and target pulmonary rehabilitation.

Int J Older People Nurs 2021; 16:e12362. [PMID: 33389798 PMCID: PMC7883232 DOI: 10.1111/opn.12362] [Citation(s) in RCA: 16] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/27/2020] [Revised: 10/07/2020] [Accepted: 11/26/2020] [Indexed: 02/02/2023]
Abstract
Background and Objectives The aim of this study was to gain in‐depth knowledge and an increased understanding on how isolation from close relatives and carers, during the COVID‐19 pandemic, impacted older patients during hospitalisation in a Geriatric department. Method We conducted a qualitative study using semi‐structured interviews and a phenomenological‐hermeneutic approach, to get an understanding of the older participants' perspectives and lived experiences. Complete interviews were available for 11 patients—six men and five women, between 69 and 91 years of age. Results The participants' narratives identified several themes. Feeling isolated from and having no contact with close relatives or carers was prominent. The COVID‐19 pandemic created fear and anxiety among hospitalized patients. Relationships with family members and some staff became strained. The transformation from being “a person” to being “a patient” and loss of dignity, autonomy and a “sense of self” were themes identified in the analysis. Although virtual contact can't replace the real world, the use of technology to maintain contact with family and carers, and the need for help from hospital staff in facilitating this contact was deemed important. The environment of care was a prominent theme. The attitude of staff made a difference to how patients felt and some patients expressed a loss of decision‐making capability. The interviews were challenging in some cases because the interviews had to be interrupted or shortened due to ethical considerations around the individual person's needs and condition. Conclusions and implication for practice Our study provided in‐depth knowledge on how older patients experienced hospitalisation during the COVID‐19 pandemic in a Danish hospital. The results emphasise that compassionate care includes a willingness to listen to older patients' narratives and to imagine life as depicted by them. This can lead to better understanding of an individual person's needs and increase the quality of care provided.
