Usage, Usability & Effect on Adherence and Clinical Outcomes of Text Message Reminders for Adolescents With Asthma
11 februari 2016 uppdaterad av: Children's Hospital Medical Center, Cincinnati
Study of the Usage, Usability, Acceptability, and Effect on Adherence and Clinical Outcomes of a Web Based Text Messaging System for Adolescents With Asthma- Phase 2
The purpose of this randomized crossover study is to determine the efficacy of participant designed medication reminders on asthma control, asthma related quality of life,and medication adherence.
In addition, this study will provide data regarding the usage, usability, acceptability of an online system designed for creating text message reminders.
It is hypothesized that the teens receiving text message reminders will report having greater quality of life related to their asthma, a reported increase in the control of their asthma, and increased adherence to their medication regimen compared to those teens that are not receiving the text message reminders.
Studieöversikt
Detaljerad beskrivning
Adolescents are typically less adept at managing chronic illnesses and adhering to treatment plans than are parents of younger children.
Adolescents are also typically "early adopters" to technological solutions and text messages are integral in today's teen culture.
Text messages are gaining acceptance in health care both as appointment reminders and direct inquiries.
The purpose of this randomized crossover study is to examine the effect of participant designed medication reminders on asthma control, asthma related quality of life, and medication adherence.
In addition, this study will provide data regarding the usage, usability, and acceptability of an online system designed for creating text message reminders.

Experimentell: Participant 1st
Enrollment in the CMSText website text messaging system during first 3 months of study participation.

During baseline (Participant 1st Arm) or Month 3 Visit (Comparison 1st Arm), the study staff member will demonstrate for the teen how to log-on to the calendar system and set up reminders.
Teens will be able to set their own reminders and add other reminders in addition to those that are asthma related.

Asthma Control Test (ACT)
Tidsram: Change from Baseline on ACT at 3 months (1st arm), Change from Baseline on ACT at 6 months (2nd arm)
|
The teen will complete the Asthma Control Test (ACT), a validated 5-item Likert scale test that asks them to detail their asthma symptoms.
These are questions consistent with those that would be asked by a clinician (i.e., how many times have you used your fast-acting inhaler in the past four weeks, how often does asthma limit your activities).
The responses to these questions will also be used to calculate the teen's asthma control.

The Pediatric Quality of Life Scale Version 4.0 Teen Report (ages 13- 18) (PedsQL)
Tidsram: Change from Baseline on PedsQL at 3 months (1st arm), Change from Baseline on PedsQL at 6 months (2nd arm)
|
This assessment measures how much asthma has been a problem for them in the last month (i.e., "It is hard for me to be responsible for my medications.",
"I worry about my asthma.")

Change from Baseline on PedsQL at 3 months (1st arm), Change from Baseline on PedsQL at 6 months (2nd arm)

Adherence
Tidsram: Change from Baseline in Adherence at 3 months (1st arm), Change from Baseline in Adherence at 6 months (2nd arm)
|
Adherence to medication regimen will be monitored with the Smartinhaler Tracker developed by Nexus 6 ltd.
It will record the adherence to medication administered through metered-dose inhalers, which include medication such as Qvar and Flovent.
The Smartinhaler records the time and date medications were taken, whether the canister was shaken appropriately prior to inhalation, and how much the medication was inhaled.
