Filter by:The aim of this project was to determine the effect of the burn prevention and first aid mobile application developed for families living in tent cities and container houses after the earthquake on the burn prevention and first aid knowledge of families and the development of burns in the first two months after the mobile application. The research was planned as a prospective, two-arm (1:1), randomized controlled trial. The study population will consist of families living in tent cities and container houses in Şanlıurfa. As a result of the power analysis performed in the G*Power program, the sample group will consist of 30 families from the tent city and 30 families from the container city, taking into account the losses with a power of 90% and a maximum bidirectional 5% type error. All of the families (30 mobile application-study group; 30 control group) who make up the sample of the research will be given a training (powerpoint presentation) prepared by the researcher in line with the literature, and burn prevention and first aid practices will be explained and their questions will be answered. Then, the training to be given with the mobile application will be downloaded to the phones of the families in the experimental group and the training will continue through the application. In the study, data will be collected with the "Descriptive Characteristics Form", "Information Form on Burn Prevention and First Aid" and "Burn Development Follow-up Form", which include the descriptive information of the families. The data obtained from the study will be analyzed in computer environment.
This interventional study aims to examine the effect of implementing new tools for preventing child sexual abuse (CSA) using a designed digital application for parents/teachers. The main question of this study is How is the effect of the Mobile Application for Prevention of Sexual Violence in Elementary School-aged Children by Involving the Roles of Parents and School Teachers in West Java on knowledge, attitudes, communication practices, and self-awareness of parents and teachers in West Java. Two randomized groups of parents will receive or not receive a package of information using a mobile application called MA_PESAN. The MA_PESAN application is precise and can increase teachers' and parents' knowledge, attitudes, communication practices, and self-awareness about preventing CSA. This application is recommended to be applied in all elementary-level schools.
This study was conducted as a randomized controlled trial to determine the effects of e-mobile education and counselling service on self-care agency, body image, and quality of life in patients undergoing bariatric surgery. The sample of the study was determined using power analysis after making preliminary tests with the patients who met the sample selection criteria in Isparta City Hospital Obesity Center, and consisted of 51 (26 experiment, 25 control) patients. The patients in the experimental group received e-mobile training and consultancy services with the mobile application developed specifically for bariatric surgery that started before the operation and lasted for 3 months. The data of the study were collected using the Personal Information Form, Self-Care Agency, Body Image, and Moorehead Ardelt Quality of Life II (MA-II) Scales prepared in accordance with the literature. In addition to descriptive statistics, Chi-Square, Independent Samples t-test, Repeated Measures, Mann-Whitney U and Friedman tests were used to evaluate the data. A statistically significant difference was found in the mean scores of Self-Care Strength, Body Image, MA-II and BMI of the patients in the experimental and control groups according to the processes (p>0.05). There was no statistically significant difference between the groups in terms of preoperative, 1st, 2nd, and 3rd month Self-Care Power, Body Image and MA-II scale mean scores (p>0.05). There was a statistically significant difference between the groups in favour of the experimental group in terms of the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd month BMI averages (p<0.05).
Getting a cancer diagnosis, the difficult treatments applied and the side effects that occur completely affect the life of the patient, shaking his future plans and adaptation mechanisms. In recent years, the role of healthcare professionals has included counseling and promoting positive health behaviors to reduce disease and treatment side effects and increase adherence to disease. The service provided by healthcare professionals to patients has started to move to digital environments with the developing technology and the concept of e-health has been born. Offering e-health support as part of regular care has become a powerful tool to help cancer patients manage their disease. Web-based interventions or mobile applications provide an opportunity for improved communication and better information exchange between healthcare professionals and patients. In addition, education of cancer patients and patient self-management allow for better clinical outcomes using e-health or mobile health applications. The widespread use of smartphones enables cancer patients to be supported from different perspectives through mobile applications. When the studies are examined, it is noteworthy that mobile applications developed for female cancer patients are predominantly related to breast cancer. Most of the technology-based researches on gynecological cancers are studies conducted through text message intervention, online web-based interventions or social media tools such as Facebook and WeChat. For this reason, the aim of this study is to develop a mobile application to increase physical and psychosocial adjustment for gynecological cancer patients receiving chemotherapy and to investigate its effectiveness.
The aim of this study was to develop an interactive mobile application and to investigate the effect of this application on the management of nausea and vomiting symptoms by using it during chemotherapy treatment.
Adverse drug events (ADEs) are a leading cause of death in North America, with over 2 million ADEs causing 100,000 deaths every year and millions in economic costs. The majority of ADEs that occur within 30 days of discharge from hospital are related to prescription medications and of these, more than 50% are preventable. Among the causes of ADEs are incomplete and unclear medication lists, and a lack of patient understanding and adherence. Patients are usually discharged from hospital on substantially difference medication regiments than those prior to admission. In the absence of supportive mechanisms that ensure patients' understanding of their medication list, adherence to prescribed medication changes is likely to be reduced and the subsequent risk of ADEs increased. Secondary analyses from a recently conducted randomized controlled trial (RCT) by our team suggest that more than 50% of study patient were non-adherent to at least one in-hospital medication change, and that this non-adherence significantly increased the risk of hospital re-admission and emergency department visits in the 30 days post-discharge. Furthermore, analyses of interview data suggest that non-adherence may be driven by unclear communication with patients about medication changes and the reasons for these changes, as well as difficulties in managing complex dosing schedules and drug regimen information. There is therefore a clear need to implement and evaluate patient support mechanisms that reduce non-adherence to essential changes in therapy following hospitalization. The objective of this project is to conduct a pilot RCT that will evaluate the usability of a medication management mobile application and its efficacy in reducing non-adherence to in-hospital medication changes following discharge. We will randomize 100 patients from the internal medicine unit of the McGill University Health Centre (MUHC) Glen site to either the intervention or control arm. Patients in the control arm will receive usual care (i.e. no medication management support), whereas those in the intervention arm will receive a tablet with the installed mobile application. The application will integrate prescription claims data from the Régie de l'assurance maladie du Québec (RAMQ) for the 3-month period prior to hospital admission with the patient's discharge prescription to generate a patient-friendly medication list, along with details of in-hospital medication changes. The app will also offer a number of features designed to maximize patient understanding and adherence, including pill images, patient-friendly drug monographs, weekly dosing schedules, drug alerts, home refill services, and features that connect with the patient's caregiver and hospital pharmacist. At 1 week post-discharge, study coordinators will conduct a usability assessment to obtain patient feedback on the app (via a technology acceptance questionnaire) and to document usability using the "think aloud" protocol, which is based on observing and recording patients as they use the application and verbalize any thoughts that might occur to them. Qualitative analysis of recorded and transcribed sessions will then be used to assess the technology's ease of use, user-friendliness, efficiency, and any features that may cause confusion, frustration, or user errors. Non-adherence to in-hospital treatment changes will be assessed by comparing patients' discharge prescriptions with medications dispensed in the 30 days following hospital discharge (obtained from RAMQ pharmacy claims). We will compare, between intervention and control groups, the average number of in-hospital medication changes not adhered to in the 30-day follow-up period. This project will assess a technological intervention that has the potential to improve patient adherence to in-hospital medication changes and may subsequently reduce the occurrence of ADEs. Given the high costs associated with ADEs, this small investment has the potential to incur significant cost savings for the Quebec healthcare system.

Randomized controlled trial to investigate the impact of a pregnancy-specific mobile phone application on the knowledge of specific pregnancy topics and guidelines.
Obesity is a common global health problem. A three-arm randomised waitlist-controlled feasibility trial is proposed. A total of 59 subjects (19-21 subjects per arm) will be recruited. The three groups are AA plus smartphone application (experimental group); AA only (comparison group); and Waitlist control group. In the experimental group, seeds will be applied on six specific ear acupoints of the subjects by the researcher. Subjects will be requested to apply pressure on the acupoints thrice per day. They will install a smartphone App which will send out regular reminders for pressing, allow the subjects to input the number of bowel open, compliance rate, and difficulties entered during the process for timely advice. The total treatment period will be 8 weeks. Outcome measures will be conducted at baseline and postintervention at 8 weeks, including obesity and anthropometric index, leptin concentration and adiponectin level. Patient satisfaction towards the therapy, the use of the smartphone application and the implementation of the treatment protocol will be determined.
Problematic: Spirometry is used to objectify the obstructive syndrome defining chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). However, this test remains underused in the primary care. The tools available for its interpretation are little used and the existence of several decision algorithms can create confusion during the diagnosis. Principal objective: To evaluate the impact of a mobile application (SPIRO©) on medical practice (interpretation and prescription of spirometry) of family physicians and family medicine residents working in family medicine units (FMU) in Quebec affiliated with Laval University. Secondary objective : To evaluate the usability of SPIRO© among family physicians and residents in family medicine working in FMU in Quebec affiliated with Laval University. Methods: This is a pre-post clinical trial with control group. Participants (family MD and family medicine residents) will be recruited from the various FMU affiliated with Laval University. Participants working in the FMU in the experimental group will be able to use the SPIRO® mobile application to facilitate interpretation of the spirometry test results while participants in the control group will not have access to it during the study. The basic characteristics of the participants and various behavioral parameters based on the theory of planned behavior concerning the interpretation and prescription of spirometry test will be measured. Data from the control group will be collected before those in the experimental group at the time the application is not yet available, which will minimize contamination between groups. The data will be collected with questionnaires delivered in person to the participants before the intervention (T0 time) and then four months later (T1 time) during their team or research meeting. Participants will be recruited in eight of the 12 Quebec FMU affiliated with Laval University, who will be randomly assigned to two equal groups: control and experimental. The intervention will consist in sending the SPIRO© mobile application to participants in the experimental group who will use it for a period of four months.
