To co-design, test and evaluate a health literacy, chronic disease self-management and social support intervention for older people delivered by group videoconferencing into the home.
The Telehealth Literacy Project (THLP) was a mixed methods, quasi-experimental, non-randomised trial nested within a telehealth remote monitoring study. An intervention group (n = 52) participated in five, weekly videoconference group meetings lasting for 1.5 h and a control group (n = 60) received remote monitoring only. Outcomes were measured using the nine-scale Health Literacy Questionnaire (HLQ) and two scales of the Health Education Impact Questionnaire (heiQ). Semi-structured interviews and focus group data were thematically analysed.
At 3 month follow-up, univariate analysis identified small effects in the intervention group only, with improved health literacy behaviours (five HLQ scales) and self-management skills (two heiQ scales). ANOVA of HLQ scales indicated no significant differences between the two groups over time indicating a contributing effect of the remote monitoring project. Intervention participants reported improved perception of companionship, emotional and informational support.
The THLP delivered with telemonitoring indicates potential to improve social support and some health literacy factors in older people.
Patient education can be delivered by group videoconferencing.
通过小组视频会议将健康素养、慢性病自我管理和社会支持干预措施引入家庭,共同设计、测试和评估针对老年人的干预措施。
远程保健素养项目(Telehealth Literacy Project,THLP)是一项混合方法、准实验、非随机试验,嵌套在远程保健远程监测研究中。干预组(n=52)参加了五次每周一次的、持续 1.5 小时的视频会议小组会议,对照组(n=60)仅接受远程监测。使用九分量表健康素养问卷(Health Literacy Questionnaire,HLQ)和健康教育培训影响问卷(Health Education Impact Questionnaire,heiQ)的两个量表来衡量结果。对半结构化访谈和焦点小组数据进行主题分析。
在 3 个月的随访中,单变量分析仅在干预组中发现了小的影响,健康素养行为(HLQ 的五个量表)和自我管理技能(heiQ 的两个量表)有所改善。HLQ 量表的方差分析表明,两组之间在不同时间没有显著差异,这表明远程监测项目有一定的促进作用。干预组参与者报告说,他们的同伴关系、情感和信息支持得到了改善。
与远程监测相结合的 THLP 表明,有可能改善老年人的社会支持和一些健康素养因素。
可以通过小组视频会议进行患者教育。
