Participation Restrictions

PurposeHearing impairment (HI) is a chronic condition; thus, even with treatment, residual participation restrictions and activity limitations typically remain. Individuals must learn to self-manage their HI. The purpose of this research note is to review components of successful Internet-based self-management programs and to evaluate group auditory rehabilitation (AR) programs with varying content, in order to make recommendations for the design of future Internet-based self-management programs.MethodEffect sizes for changes in HI-specific quality of life following group AR activities from 4 published studies were calculated to determine if effect size varied systematically as a function of group activities. These findings are described using a self-management framework.ResultsSuccessful group AR activities include (a) psychosocial activities to promote role management, emotional management, and social support; (b) informational lectures and group discussion to promote education; (c) communication strategy exercises to promote self-efficacy and self-management skills; and (d) the inclusion of a frequent communication partner to promote social support and self-tailoring.ConclusionsIt is recommended that future Internet-based self-management programs focus on the mechanisms of social support and education to promote learning and self-management skills. Future research will determine if these AR activities may be implemented effectively via the Internet.

Background Supported self-management for asthma reduces acute attacks and improves control. The internet of things could connect patients to health care providers, community services, and their living environments to provide overarching support for self-management. Objective We aimed to identify patients’ and clinicians’ preferences for a future internet-of-things system and explore their visions of its potential to support holistic self-management. Methods In an exploratory sequential mixed methods study, we recruited patients from volunteer databases and charities’ social media. We purposively sampled participants to interview them about their vision of the design and utility of the internet of things as a future strategy for supporting self-management. Respondents who were not invited to participate in the interviews were invited to complete a web-based questionnaire to prioritize the features suggested by the interviewees. Clinicians were recruited from professional networks. Interviews were transcribed and analyzed thematically using PRISMS self-management taxonomy. Results We interviewed 12 patients and 12 clinicians in the United Kingdom, and 140 patients completed the web-based questionnaires. Patients expressed mostly wanting a system to log their asthma control status automatically; provide real-time advice to help them learn about their asthma, identify and avoid triggers, and adjust their treatment. Peak flow (33/140, 23.6%), environmental (pollen, humidity, air temperature) (33/140, 23.6%), and asthma symptoms (25/140, 17.9%) were the specific data types that patient most wanted. Information about asthma and text or email access to clinical advice provided a feeling of safety for patients. Clinicians wanted automated objective data about the patients’ condition that they could access during consultations. The potential reduction in face-to-face consultations was appreciated by clinicians which they perceived could potentially save patients’ travel time and health service resources. Lifestyle logs of fitness regimes or weight control were valued by some patients but were of less interest to clinicians. Conclusions An automated internet-of-things system that requires minimal input from the user and provides timely advice in line with an asthma action plan agreed by the patient with their clinician was preferred by most respondents. Links to asthma information and the ability to connect with clinicians by text or email were perceived by patients as features that would provide a sense of safety. Further studies are needed to evaluate the usability and effectiveness of internet-of-things systems in routine clinical practice.

BACKGROUND Supported self-management for asthma reduces acute attacks and improves control. The Internet-of-Things (IoT) could connect patients to their healthcare providers, the community services and their living environment to provide over-arching support for self-management. OBJECTIVE We aimed to identify patients’ and clinicians’ preferences for a future IoT system and explore their vision of its potential to support holistic self-management. METHODS We recruited patients from volunteer databases and charities’ social media. We purposively sampled participants for interviews about their vision of the design and utility of the IoT as a future strategy for supporting self-management; other respondents completed an online questionnaire about the features they wanted. Clinicians were recruited from professional networks. Interviews were transcribed and analysed thematically with reference to the PRISMS self-management taxonomy. RESULTS We interviewed twelve patients and twelve clinicians in the UK. 140 patients completed the questionnaires. Patients mostly wanted the system to log their asthma automatically and provide real-time advice to help them learn about their asthma, identify and avoid triggers and to advise on treatment adjustment and other actions. Peak flow (23.6%), environmental (pollen, humidity/air temperature) (23.6%), and asthma symptoms (17.9%) were the top three data types that patients most wanted. Information about asthma and text/email access to clinical advice, provided a feeling of ‘safety’ for patients. Clinicians wanted automated, objective logs about patients’ conditions that they could access during consultations. The potential reduction in face-to-face consultations was appreciated by clinicians, potentially saving patients’ travel time and health service resources. Lifestyle logs of fitness regimes or weight control were valued by some patients, though of less interest to clinicians. CONCLUSIONS An IoT system can address the range of components needed to support self-management for people with asthma. An automated IoT system requiring minimal input from the user could improve health outcomes and potentially conserve healthcare resources.
