About this study

Official title: The Effectiveness of Smart Health Management Program With Proactive Overcoming for Patients With Chronic Illness: Randomized Controlled Trial

This study verifies efficacy of Smart Health Management Program developed for patients with chronic illness. The aim of the study is to observe the changes in clinical indicators, quality of life and health related behaviors when providing self-management programs with ICT for chronic disease patients.

Read the detailed description

This study is to demonstrate that chronic disease patients (hypertension, diabetes and dyslipidemia) with ICT-based self-management and educational program can improve clinical outcomes and overall health status, including quality of life and health habits.

In addition to the economic burden, people with chronic disease experience various psychosocial crises such as anxiety and depression, which causes the deterioration of overall quality of life and increases social burden. However, standard Chronic Care Model (CCM) have limitations in that they do not provide self-management strategies of the patient in detail. Therefore, to improve the effectiveness of the CCM model, it is required to propose a new approach to the utilization of IT-based self-management program that is currently being developed to increase accessibility and efficiency of health care service.

Primary outcomes of this study are as follow: Improvement of clinical indicators in patients with hypertension, diabetes and hyperlipidemia.

Participants in this study will respond a baseline questionnaire about health habits, health behavior patterns and quality of life, diet, exercise, etc. After that, participants will be allocated randomly into the intervention group and the control group. The intervention group will receive self-management and educational program with ICT ("S Healthing") while the control group will receive basic educational material with same contents on the disease. "S Healthing" is based ICT- program and includes educational contents and self-management program based on Smart Management Strategy for Health (SMASH). The intervention group will conduct self-management for 3 months through smart phone application and web program. Participants will receive a questionnaire about the quality of life and health habits with the clinical examination 3 months after baseline survey was conducted. The result from two questionnaires (baseline, post-intervention) and clinical outcomes will be compiled and be compared with each other.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Success in clinical outcomes of Hypertension from baseline to 3 months

    Change in Systolic blood pressure(mmHg)

    Measured: Baseline, 3 months post-intervention

  2. Success in clinical outcomes of Dyslipidemia from baseline to 3 months

    Change in LDL Cholesterol (mg/dL)

    Measured: Baseline, 3 months post-intervention

  3. Success in clinical outcomes of primary disease Diabetes from baseline to 3 months

    Change in HbA1c (%)

    Measured: Baseline, 3 months post-intervention

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Health behavior patterns

    We identify health habits by dividing into five steps according to the TTM stage. We evaluate increase in maintenance rate of health behavior patterns.

    Measured: Baseline, 3 months post-intervention

  2. Depression

    Change in depression score (PHQ-9)

    Measured: Baseline, 3 months post-intervention

  3. Health Management Strategies

    We use Smart Management Strategy for Health Assessment Tool (SAT) to assess their self-management (SM) strategies of health by themselves. We evaluate improvement of Health Management Strategies.

    Measured: Baseline, 3 months post-intervention

  4. Quality of life (SF-12)

    Improvement of quality of life (SF-12)

    Measured: Baseline, 3 months post-intervention

  5. Quality of life (Mcgill QOL)

    Improvement of quality of life (Mcgill QOL)

    Measured: Baseline, 3 months post-intervention

  6. Quality of life (Euro-QoL)

    Improvement of quality of life (Euro-QoL)

    Measured: Baseline, 3 months post-intervention
