Aim Based on the design of applications for psychotic disorders illness self-management, this study aimed to understand patients’ patterns of technology usage, as well as their expectations and requirements concerning the design of an app for rehabilitation and illness management purposes. It also aimed to identify guidelines for mobile application development for this population. Method After a literature review, a questionnaire was developed, focused on behaviours and opinions about technology usage. It was applied, through a cross-sectional study, to a sample of 102 users of mental health services with psychotic disorders (62% men; with ages between 22 and 66 years old). Results Nearly 59% of the participants were willing to download an app for illness self-management, and 51% evaluated as essential the self-management of their mental health condition. However, correlation analysis revealed that the more years with mental illness, the less importance is given to an app for this purpose. Conclusion The use of mobile technologies seems to the have potential to empower individuals with mental health problems, especially younger ones and those in early disease stages. Concerns about privacy/security should be considered, as well as simple screening designs and texts. The results also reveal the importance of user participatory design.

The People

So far, successful ageing is usually a dream or presumed as an unreachable goal for those people with major psychotic disorders, especially the schizophrenia and bipolar I disorder. Thanks to the improvement of general health, better treatment, and decreased discriminations, there are more and more people with major psychotic disorders live into later age. Due to the persistent and active psychotic symptoms, the impaired cognitive performance and malfunctioned supportive system, most of our patients appeared less prepared for their later life. Unfortunately, how and what will they live through the jeopardy has been neglected and under discussed as there are few literatures in this topic.The author will search the articles and theses relevant to this issue from the literature through evidence-based approaches and discuss it in three major parts. The first part of the presentation will be the review of the past condition and the facts of current situation of the people with major psychotic disorder in later life. Epidemiological study profiles with the frame of traditional biopsycho-social construct will be reported. The second part will be the possible ways these people may adopt to achieve successful aging with their efforts in a self-management model. In the third part, the author will propose possible and feasible programs that promote active living for the people with major psychotic disorders, aiming at the goal of successful ageing.In conclusion, the author hopes that this presentation could become the morning bells and arouse the attention in this field.

The Relationship

Purpose Hearing loss self-management refers to the knowledge and skills people use to manage the effects of hearing loss on all aspects of their daily lives. The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between self-reported hearing loss self-management and hearing aid benefit and satisfaction. Method Thirty-seven adults with hearing loss, all of whom were current users of bilateral hearing aids, participated in this observational study. The participants completed self-report inventories probing their hearing loss self-management and hearing aid benefit and satisfaction. Correlation analysis was used to investigate the relationship between individual domains of hearing loss self-management and hearing aid benefit and satisfaction. Results Participants who reported better self-management of the effects of their hearing loss on their emotional well-being and social participation were more likely to report less aided listening difficulty in noisy and reverberant environments and greater satisfaction with the effect of their hearing aids on their self-image. Participants who reported better self-management in the areas of adhering to treatment, participating in shared decision making, accessing services and resources, attending appointments, and monitoring for changes in their hearing and functional status were more likely to report greater satisfaction with the sound quality and performance of their hearing aids. Conclusion Study findings highlight the potential for using information about a patient's hearing loss self-management in different domains as part of clinical decision making and management planning.
