Abstract

Aim: This study aimed to assess the impact of Mobile health (M-health) on medication time adherence among people living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA).

Methods: The study included all PLWHA who were receiving care at the Federal University Teaching Hospital Owerri (FUTH) and Imo State Specialist Hospital (ISSH) Umugumma during the study duration. The test group (FUTH) received a 2-way text message sent three times a week and a once-a-week phone call, while the control group (ISSH) received only the standard care.

Findings: The result shows that the adherence was higher among PLWHA in the test group compared to those in the control group (P = 0.000, χ2 = 168.62, 95% confidence interval (CI): 7.22 to 16.19).

Conclusion: M-health intervention significantly improved the medication time adherence among the participants in the test group compared to those in the control group.

简讯：移动医疗干预对尼日利亚伊莫州奥韦里选定医院接受治疗的艾滋病毒/艾滋病感染者按时服药的影响。

目的：本研究旨在评估移动医疗（M-health）对艾滋病毒/艾滋病感染者（PLWHA）坚持服药时间的影响：研究对象包括研究期间在联邦大学奥韦里教学医院（FUTH）和伊莫州专科医院（ISSH）Umugumma 接受治疗的所有艾滋病毒/艾滋病感染者。试验组（FUTH）每周收到三次双向短信，每周接到一次电话，而对照组（ISSH）只接受标准护理：结果显示，与对照组相比，测试组 PLWHA 的依从性更高（P = 0.000，χ2 = 168.62，95% 置信区间（CI）：7.22 至 16.19）：与对照组相比，M-health 干预明显改善了测试组参与者的服药时间依从性。
