Abstract

Objectives: Continued use of a digital health assistant that helps patients living with diabetes to self-manage and deal with complex problems in order to enhance their health status is a healthcare priority. The objective was to explore the barriers related to the use of a mobile personal health assistant for patients with type 2 diabetes.

Methods: Eighty-one participants were offered a personal health assistant through a smartphone application. They completed a questionnaire after initial training (T₀) and after 1 month's experience (T₁).

Results and conclusion: Most had a positive behavioral intention before using it, but the opposite was found after 1 month. There were positive correlations between behavioral intention and the eight related factors. The strongest correlations were with satisfaction and perceived usefulness at T₀ and T₁, respectively. The factors' mean values decreased after 1 month. The best predictors of behavioral intention were satisfaction and performance expectancy at T₀ and T₁, respectively, which predicted the status of 88.4% and 82.7% of the sample. Our findings will help health experts to build better tools that satisfy patients and meet their expectations.

糖尿病患者使用移动个人健康助理的障碍。

目标：继续使用数字健康助手帮助糖尿病患者自我管理和处理复杂问题，以改善他们的健康状况，是医疗保健领域的当务之急。本研究旨在探讨与 2 型糖尿病患者使用移动个人健康助手有关的障碍：81名参与者通过智能手机应用程序获得了个人健康助理。结果和结论：大多数人在使用前都有积极的行为意向：大多数人在使用前都有积极的行为意向，但使用 1 个月后发现情况恰恰相反。行为意向与八个相关因素之间存在正相关。在 T0 和 T1，与满意度和感知有用性的相关性最强。1 个月后，这些因素的平均值有所下降。行为意向的最佳预测因子分别是 T0 和 T1 时的满意度和绩效预期，它们分别预测了 88.4% 和 82.7% 样本的行为意向。我们的研究结果将帮助医疗专家开发出更好的工具，以满足患者的需求和期望。
