A Pilot Trial of a Smartphone-based Self-management Support Program for COPD Patients
A Pilot Trial of a Smartphone-based Self-management Support Program for Patients With Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease
COPD patients often experience multiple symptoms (e.g. dyspnea, cough, and deteriorating quality of life) and have imposed a substantial economic and social burden on health care.
The current proposal is to evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of a pilot trial of a smartphone-based instant messaging self-management support program to improve the quality of life in patients with COPD.

Részletes leírás
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is the number 3 killer globally by 2020. COPD patients often experience multiple symptoms (e.g. dyspnea, cough, and deteriorating quality of life) and have imposed a substantial economic and social burden on health care.
Current policy for the prevention and management of long-term conditions focuses on efforts to prevent the onset or slow progression of disease early in the disease trajectory. This prevention paradigm has only recently been adopted for COPD. Systematic reviews have shown self-management support for patients with COPD is effective in improving health-related quality of life and in reducing hospital admissions, but the evidence comes largely from patients with moderate or severe disease and is predominantly recruited from secondary care. Simple and systematic strategies are needed to improve out-of-hospital support and management for people living with COPD.
An instant messaging smartphone app, which allows texts, audio, pictures and video messages to be shared in chat groups, is already available to and is the most popular in the Hong Kong general public. Mobile instant messaging can be conducted through a daily use device to increase access and efficacy, which has been suggested as a feasible approach to delivering an intervention with positive effects on health behaviours and outcomes. Text messaging via mobile phones has been shown to be effective in helping promote lifestyle change in diabetes self-management, weight loss, physical activity, smoking cessation and medication adherence with quantitative and qualitative evidence. However, the investigator has not found messaging intervention that was applied in people with COPD, except an ongoing study of using instant text message support for patients with chronic respiratory and cardiovascular diseases.
Hence, the current intervention program is to evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of a smartphone-based instant messaging self-management support program to improve the quality of life in patients with COPD.

Elsődleges eredményintézkedések
Eredménymérő |
Intézkedés leírása |
Időkeret |
|---|---|---|
|
Change from baseline COPD-related quality of life
Időkeret: Baseline, Week 8
|
COPD symptoms and impacts and activity level were measured by an 8-item COPD Assessment Test.
Total scores range from 0 to 40, with higher scores denoting a more severe impact of COPD on a patient's life.
|

Intézkedés leírása |
Időkeret |
|---|---|---|
|
Change from baseline patient activation
Időkeret: Baseline, Week 8
|
Knowledge, skills and confidence in self-management were measured by a 13-item Patient Activation Measure Scale.
The total score ranges from 0 (no activation) to 100 (high activation), with higher scores denoting the better patient activation.
|
Baseline, Week 8
|
|
Change from baseline self-efficacy for self-management
Időkeret: Baseline, Week 8
|
Confidence and perceived ability of self-care were measured by a 6-item Stanford self-efficacy scale.
The score for each item ranges from 1 (not at all confident) to 10 (totally confident).
The total score of the scale is the mean of the six items, with higher number indicates higher self-efficacy.
|
Baseline, Week 8
|
|
Change from baseline acceptance of illness
Időkeret: Baseline, Week 8
|
Acceptance of illness measured by a 8-item acceptance of illness scale.
Each item ranges from 1 to 5. The total score of the scale is between 8 and 40, with low score showing a lack of adjustment to the disease, no acceptance of the condition, and mental discomfort, while high score indicating good disease acceptance.
|
Baseline, Week 8
|
|
Change from baseline medication adherence
Időkeret: Baseline, Week 8
|

The scale consists of four items with a scoring scheme of "Yes" = 0 and "No" = 1.
All items are summed to give a range of scores from 0 to 4, with higher score indicating a low level of medication adherence.
