Chronic Patients' Emotions Toward Self-Managing Care IT

Abstract

Patients’ emotions toward health IT can play an important role in explaining their usage of it. One form of health IT is self-managing care IT, such as activity trackers that can be used by chronic patients to adopt a healthy lifestyle. The goal of this study is to understand the factors that influence the arousal of emotions in chronic patients while using these tools. Past studies, in general, tend to emphasize how IT shapes emotions, underplaying the role of the individual user’s identity and, specifically, how central health is to the user’s self in shaping emotions. In this research, the authors argue that patients’ health identity centrality (i.e., the extent to which they consider health as central to their sense of self) can play an important role in forming their dependence on health IT by affecting their use of it directly and shaping their emotions around it.

[Retracted] Construction of Sports Nutrition Dynamic Intervention Mechanism Based on the Improvement of College Students’ Physical Health

“…The judgment of health performance mainly depends on the appearance, including whether the face is ruddy and tender, whether the skin is dark and yellow, and whether the skin is dull. Although appearance can determine a person's health, it does not mean that they are not ill [ 4 ]. With the progress of science and the rapid development of information technology, people pay more and more attention to health.…”

Thermal Straightening Control System for Variable-Section Automotive Leaf Springs Rolling Based on IoT Edge Computing

“…To increase the usage time of mobile devices, more attention is paid to the energy consumption of computing tasks. In this way, users can appropriately select the weight coefficient according to their specific situation at that time [18].…”

“…Among them, h is the penalty factor, i (A) is the constraint violation value of the nonfeasible individual to the j th constraint, ξ(A, g) represents the additional heuristic value for nonfeasible individuals from the execution of the algorithm to the g th generation, and the expression of ξ(A, g) is formula (18).…”

“…In formula (18), Worst(g) records the feasible individual with the maximum fitness value obtained by the algorithm after the evolution of the g generation, and its expression is formula (19).…”

Legal Thinking and Suggestions on 3.15 "Earth Pit Pickled Cabbage" Incident from the Perspective of Food Safety Law

“…However, it can still be found from the pickled Chinese cabbage incident that a large number of small and medium-sized enterprises in local markets still ignore laws and regulations and "act against the wind". From the perspective of national legislation, in order to prevent or reduce the occurrence of such incidents, it is necessary to introduce and improve the Food Hygiene Law with higher level effectiveness and strong binding force, increase the punishment and accountability for related illegal behaviors, make clearer and more operational modifications in terms of punishment amount and qualitative issues, and attempt to abandon some of the incomplete implementation provisions in current food laws [7].…”
