Chat-based Instant Messaging Support Health Education Program

Not Applicable

Completed

• Conditions: Chronic Kidney Disease

• Registration Number: NCT05665517
• Lead Sponsor: National Taiwan Normal University

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to explore the effectiveness of a CKD-specific chatbot-based instant messaging support health education (CIM-SHE) program and determine its user evaluation by CKD patients.

A pre- and post-study design was employed and 60 patients were invited to join a three-month program for chronic kidney disease health education; 55 successfully completed the intervention. Data were collected from April to November, 2020, using a structured questionnaire. Paired t-tests and generalized equation estimation were used to examine the intervention effectiveness and users' evaluation.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Chronic kidney disease subjects' health literacy and disease knowledge	12 weeks	A chronic kidney disease specific health literacy and knowledge assessment tool consists of two parts: (1) chronic kidney disease specific health literacy (communicative literacy) and (2) disease knowledge. Participants scored one point for each correct answer and 0 points for wrong answers. A paired sample t-test was used to analyze chronic kidney disease subjects' health literacy (pre-test vs. post-test).
System usability scale was developed to subjectively evaluate the user's operating system to understand and ensure its usability and quality.	12 weeks	The System usability scale consisted of 10 items rated on a Likert-type scale ranging from one (strongly disagree) to five (strongly agree). In this study, items 1-5 and 6-10 were considered positive and negative, respectively. For positive items, we subtracted 1 point and for negative items, we subtracted 5 points from the score of the items. The generalized estimating equation was used to evaluate the change of System usability scale scores at three time points.
