Social support is a key component in managing long-term conditions. As people age in their homes, there is a greater risk of social isolation, which can be ameliorated by informal support networks. This study examined the relationship between changes in social support networks for older people living in a regional area following weekly videoconference groups delivered to the home. Between February and June 2014, we delivered 44 weekly group meetings via videoconference to participants in a regional town in Australia. The meetings provided participants with education and an opportunity to discuss health issues and connect with others in similar circumstances. An uncontrolled, pre-post-test methodology was employed. A social network tool was completed by 45 (87%) participants either pre- or post-intervention, of which 24 (46%) participants completed the tool pre- and post-intervention. In addition, 14 semi-structured interviews and 4 focus groups were conducted. Following the intervention, participants identified increased membership of their social networks, although they did not identify individuals from the weekly videoconference groups. The most important social support networks remained the same pre- and post-intervention namely, health professionals, close family and partners. However, post-intervention participants identified friends and wider family as more important to managing their chronic condition compared to pre-intervention. Participants derived social support, in particular, companionship, emotional and informational support as well as feeling more engaged with life, from the weekly videoconference meetings. Videoconference education groups delivered into the home can provide social support and enhance self-management for older people with chronic conditions. They provide the opportunity to develop a virtual social support network containing new and diverse social connections.

“…In all CLDs, "Adoption by patient" or "Perceived value by patient" was a variable affecting other variables, indirectly leading to intervention adoption. This suggests that patients should not only participate in pilot studies, [43,45] but participate as well in change management procedures.…”

Developing a strategic understanding of telehealth service adoption for COPD care management: A causal loop analysis of healthcare professionals

Background Telehealth services can improve the quality of health services for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) management, but the clinical benefits for patients yet not clear. It is crucial to develop a strategy that supports the engagement of healthcare professionals to promote the sustainable adoption of telehealth services further. The aim of the study was to show how variables related to the perception of telehealth services for COPD by different healthcare professionals interact to influence its adoption and to generate advice for future telehealth service implementation. Methods Data was thematically synthesized from published qualitative studies to create causal loop diagrams, further validated by expert interviews. These diagrams visualize dependencies and their polarity between different variables. Results Adoption of telehealth services from the nurse's perspective is directly affected by change management and autonomous decision making. From the physician's perspective, perceived value is the most important variable. Physical activity management and positive user experience are considered affecting perceived value for physiotherapists. There is no consensus where self-management services should be positioned in the COPD care pathway.

“…As an alternative or adjunct to hospitalization or the office visit, patient preference and satisfaction is presumably essential for the vast majority of telemedicine participation. Overall, patients are satisfied with the use of telemedicine and many feel it empowers them to perform home monitoring [42,44,[49][50][51][52]. But this is not universal.…”

“…But this is not universal. Patients performing telerehabilitation exhibit four types of attitudes depending on their physical and emotional state: indifference, learning as part of situations in everyday life, feeling of security, and motivation for performing physical training [52]. This patient motivation may improve health-related quality of life (HRQol), and thus satisfaction.…”

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a progressive and debilitating disease that affects millions of Americans. Numerous technological advances have been made recently in this field. This article reviews the use of novel technologies in COPD patients, focusing on the medical literature from 2013. These advances affect the diagnosis, the management of acute exacerbations, and the long-term, outpatient care of this condition. Diagnostic advances are examined such as novel applications of computed tomography, plethysmography, and analysis of the breath. Acute interventions include oxygen therapy, extracorporeal gas exchange, and molecular or nanotechnology. Finally, a preponderance of recent literature focuses on telemedicine to facilitate monitoring and treatment. Emerging technologies have a significant potential to positively impact patient care.
