“…Consistent with a recent review on mobile apps for individuals with chronic diseases [ 14 ], this study identified that participants were engaged and empowered when using the app. An increase in the activation levels may encourage health-related behaviors, such as increasing physical activity, dietary behaviors, and medication adherence [ 39 , 40 ], as well as support closer monitoring of their disease symptoms [ 18 ].…”

Background Interventions that focus on the self-management of heart failure are vital to promoting health in patients with heart failure. Mobile health (mHealth) apps are becoming more integrated into practice to promote self-management strategies for chronic diseases, optimize care delivery, and reduce health disparities. Objective The purpose of this study was to explore the experience of using a self-management mHealth intervention in individuals with heart failure to inform a future mHealth intervention study. Methods This study used a qualitative descriptive design. Participants were enrolled in the intervention groups of a larger parent study using a mobile app related to self-management of heart failure. The purposive, convenient, criterion-based sample for this qualitative analysis comprised 10 patients who responded to phone calls and were willing to be interviewed. Inclusion criteria for the parent study were adults who were hospitalized at Nebraska Medical Center with a primary diagnosis and an episode of acute decompensated heart failure; discharged to home without services such as home health care; had access to a mobile phone; and were able to speak, hear, and understand English. Results Study participants were middle-aged (mean age 55.8, SD 12 years; range 36-73 years). They had completed a mean of 13.5 (SD 2.2) years (range 11-17 years) of education. Of the 10 participants, 6 (60%) were male. Half of them (5/10, 50%) were New York Heart Association Classification Class III patients and the other half were Class IV patients. The intervention revealed four self-management themes, including (1) I didn’t realize, and now I know; (2) It feels good to focus on my health; (3) I am the leader of my health care team; and (4) My health is improving. Conclusions Participants who used a self-management mHealth app intervention for heart failure reported an overall positive experience. Their statements were organized into four major themes. The education provided during the study increased self-awareness and promoted self-management of their heart failure. The mHealth app supported patient empowerment, resulting in better heart failure management and improved quality of life. Participants advocated for themselves by becoming the leader of their health, especially when communicating with their health care team. Finally, the mHealth app was used by the participants as a self-management tool to assist in symptom management and improve their overall health. Future research should study symptom evaluation, medication tracking, and possibly serve as a health provider communication platform to empower individuals to be leaders in their chronic disease management.

Mak & Ching (), in their study with people who had cancer, found that group training offered to the patients resulted in positive changes regarding hand‐washing behaviour. Piatt et al () demonstrated that diabetes self‐management training based on the chronic care model improved the clinical and behavioural outcomes of individuals with diabetes.…”

Karadag E. (2019). The effect of a self-management program on hand-washing/mask-wearing behaviours and self-efficacy level in peritoneal dialysis patients: a pilot study. Journal of Renal Care XX(XX),1-9. S U M M A R YBackground: Self-management of chronic kidney disease (CKD) is crucial for health outcomes. Objectives: This study was conducted to demonstrate the effect of a self-management programme based on Bandura's selfefficacy theory offered to patients receiving peritoneal dialysis (PD) on behavioural changes regarding hand-washing/maskwearing and self-efficacy level. Design: In this study, the pretest-posttest design was used without a control group. Methods: The sample of the study consisted of 30 patients who were receiving peritoneal dialysis. At the first interview conducted with patients, patients were given a Questionnaire Form on Socio-Demographic and Disease Characteristics and the Self-efficacy Scale. Following the 6-month self-management programme; the self-efficacy scale was applied again and the effectiveness of the self-management programme was evaluated by re-asking the questions on hand-washing and mask-wearing behaviours, and the two questions on the presence of peritonitis and leucocyte abnormality. The selfmanagement programme in question in this study was comprised of multidisciplinary team collaboration, telephone contact, clinic interviews, use of reminders, training intervention based on Bandura's self-efficacy theory and enhancement of self-efficacy. Results: A statistically significant difference was found between the pre-intervention and post-intervention self-efficacy scale mean scores of patients (t: À4,396, p < .001). Conclusions: In this study, it was found that the self-management programme based on Bandura's self-efficacy theory caused a positive change in the hand-washing/ mask-wearing behaviours of patients and that it improved the self-efficacy level.

“…The nursing intervention increases the mothers’ awareness and knowledge about HPV vaccine which promotes their positive perception about the vaccine. This is correlated with the studies of Mark and Yin Ching, Umezulike et al ., and Ezeanolue et al [ 22 24 36 ] The concept of prevention can be well understood if given by health personnel, like nurses. Therefore, increase in knowledge about HPV and HPV vaccine is an important way to increase vaccination rates among mothers of the adolescents in Nigeria.…”

Objective:The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of nursing intervention on mothers’ knowledge of cervical cancer and acceptance of human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination for their adolescent daughters in Abuja, Nigeria.Methods:This was a quasi-experimental study that utilized two groups pre and post-test design. The study was carried out among civil servant mothers in Bwari (experimental group [EG]) and Kwali (control group[CG]) Area Councils of Abuja, Nigeria. One hundred and forty-six women who met the inclusion criteria were purposively selected for this study. EG consists of 69 women while 77 are from CG. The intervention consisted of two days workshop on cervical cancer and HPV vaccination. Descriptive and inferential analyses of the data were performed using SPSS software 20 version.Results:The mean age of the respondents was 35 years ± 6.6 in the EG and 41 years ± 8.2 in the CG. The mean knowledge score of cervical cancer was low at baseline in both EG (9.58 ± 7.1) and CG (11.61 ± 6.5). However, there was a significant increase to 21.45 ± 6.2 after the intervention in EG (P < 0.0001). The baseline acceptance of HPV vaccination was high in EG after intervention from 74% to 99%. Exposure to nursing intervention and acceptance of HPV vaccination was statistically significant after intervention (P < 0.0001).Conclusions:The nursing intervention has been found to increase mothers’ knowledge of cervical cancer and acceptance of HPV vaccination. It is therefore recommended that nurses should use every available opportunity in mothers’ clinic to educate on cervical cancer and HPV vaccination.
