“…[68] This thesis research used paper versions of the questionnaires, which increases the risk of errors and loss of information because of the many steps required for documentation and data entry. [159] Returning questionnaires by mail might be complicated and timeconsuming, and may increase the risk of missing data. To reduce this risk, the patients were allowed to bring the completed questionnaires to the hospital at their next treatment.…”

“…Electronic systems represent an alternative to the paper versions that allows the patient to report symptoms in real time, and have been reported to increase patient compliance compared with paper versions. [159] In addition, electronic systems for symptom assessment can increase early responsiveness to patients' symptoms and may thereby prevent worsening of symptoms. [14,114] When using electronic systems, it is essential to assure patients' security and privacy, which may be one barrier to their implementation in hospitals.…”

, that funded the PhD program. My deep gratitude also goes to the Norwegian Nursing Society for additional grants. First of all, I wish to dedicate this thesis to the patients and their families who gave me the privilege of sharing their experiences during one of the toughest journey of their life. I express my deepest gratitude to my main supervisor and principal investigator of the "Cluster study", Tone Rustøen! Thank you for believing in me, for your excellent supervision, and giving me the opportunity to introduce me to science! I admire your positivism, knowledge and enthusiasm! These years have truly changed me as a professional nurse and as a person! Grate thankfulness goes to my co-supervisor Marianne Grønlie Guren for exemplary supervision! For being the most knowledgeable positive doctor I have worked with. You are a true role model! Thank you for introducing me into the world of gastroenterology!

“…It is worth considering through mix methods and qualitative research whether this is in fact the case. 23,24 There are some potential limitations of this trail. First, the study was conducted among university level students who are likely to have greater familiarity with computer-based technologies than perhaps the general population of similar age or older people and, thus, this may influence their ability to complete and preference for CTSA.…”

Purpose: To determine the measurement equivalence of computer touch screen assessment (CTSA) and paper based assessment (PBA) of the oral health impact profile (OHIP-14). Patients and Methods: A randomized crossover trial was conducted. Sixty participants were randomized to either i) Arm A: completed CTSA then PBA of OHIP-14, or ii) Arm B: PBA and then CTSA of OHIP-14 within the same day. User preference and time taken to complete the assessments were recorded. Agreement between CTSA and PBA was determined using directional difference (DD), absolute difference (AD), and intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC). Results: There was no significant difference in CTSA and PBA OHIP-14 scores (P>0.05). The magnitude of the DD in scores between assessment methods was small for overall scores and all domains (<0.3). The AD in OHIP-14 scores was small (~6% for overall score, between 8-16% for domains). Agreement between CTSA and PBA was high (ICC=0.9; 95% CI=0.8-0.9) for overall OHIP-14 scores, but ICC values varied across domains. Most (78%) preferred CTSA. There was no significant difference in time taken to complete assessments (P=0.09). Regression analyses did not identify any significant socio-demographic factor associated with absolute difference between CTSA and PBA scores. Conclusion: There is equivalence of measurements in OHRQoL assessments from CTSA and PBA, and the time taken to complete assessment by either means is similar. There is a greater preference for CTSA. This has implications to support the use of CTSA in OHRQoL assessments.

“…With the rapid development of information and software technology, the use of smart phones and other portable mobile devices has increased dramatically in recent years. Electronic questionnaires, based on portable mobile devices and mobile applications accessed via the internet, have been proven to improve the response rate, clinical efficiency and doctor-patient communication 58,59. In our study, the self-designed questionnaire was uploaded to the online questionnaire website and could be filled out on smart phones via the internet.…”

Background and purpose Self-monitoring of blood glucose (SMBG) is important to the management of diabetes mellitus, yet most patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) do not perform SMBG as recommended. The current status and influential factors of SMBG in China have not been well investigated. This study aimed to describe the present status of SMBG adherence in China and investigate the influential factors based on electronic questionnaires. Patients and methods A cross-sectional study was conducted from June to July of 2017 at hospitals in Changsha, China. Seven hundred and twenty-one patients with T2DM completed the information‑motivation‑behavioral (IMB) skills questionnaire and other electronic questionnaires composed of demographic and clinical characteristics as well as diabetes-related and psychological scales. Univariate comparisons and multivariate logistic regression were used to explore the relationships among SMBG adherence and related factors. Results Seven hundred and twenty-one patients with valid questionnaires were included. Only 27.5% (198/721) of the patients with T2DM were SMBG adherent based on the guideline of the Chinese Diabetes Society (CDS) in 2017. Among all groups of treatment regimens, the rate of SMBG adherence was highest at 36.6% (82/224) in patients on oral hypoglycaemic drugs (OHAs). In multivariable analysis, the treatment of OHAs (OR =3.731, CI 2.162–6.437) and diet/exercise (OR =3.534, CI 1.841–6.783), the patient having their own blood glucose meter (OR =6.916, CI 4.054–11.800) and a higher education level (OR =3.780, CI 1.688–8.466) were significantly associated with SMBG adherence. Conclusion Most Chinese patients with T2DM did not perform SMBG as recommended. The treatment of OHAs and diet/exercise, the patient having their own blood glucose meter, a higher education level and other factors were correlates of SMBG adherence. There is clearly a need for prospective, multicenter, large-scale studies to explore the reasons for patients’ failure to practice SMBG adherence.

Are Electronic and Paper Questionnaires Equivalent to Assess Patients with Overactive Bladder?

Abstract: We found that the proportion of patients who considered electronic questionnaires to be equivalent to or better than paper versions was higher than those who preferred paper questionnaires regardless of age, gender or education level.
