Abstract

Background: This study aimed to evaluate the impact of mobile health (mHealth) intervention on colorectal cancer (CRC) screening.

Materials and methods: This semiexperimental study collected data from individuals aged 50-70 years who had no history of CRC screening. Participants (n = 350) were randomly assigned to one control and five intervention groups. The data were collected by theory-based CRC screening questionnaire before and after the mHealth intervention.

Results: The results indicated a significant improvement in screening rates when utilizing mHealth interventions, which included text messages, videos, and telephone calls from health workers, showing a rate of 68.6% (P < 0.001) compared to 5.7% of individuals in the routine care group. Logistic regression analysis revealed that "perceived severity" and "perceived benefits" were significantly associated with increased screening uptake, compared to the routine care group.

Conclusion: The current study indicates that mobile phone technology significantly impacts the outreach efforts for encouraging the covered population to participate in screening.

流动健康干预在伊朗结直肠癌筛查中的有效性

背景：本研究旨在评估移动健康（mHealth）干预对结直肠癌（CRC）筛查的影响。材料和方法：这项半实验研究收集了50-70岁没有CRC筛查史的个体的数据。参与者（n = 350）被随机分配到一个对照组和五个干预组。通过移动健康干预前后基于理论的CRC筛查问卷收集数据。结果：结果表明，当使用移动医疗干预措施（包括短信、视频和卫生工作者的电话）时，筛查率显著提高，显示出68.6% (P < 0.001)，而常规护理组的筛查率为5.7%。逻辑回归分析显示，与常规护理组相比，“感知严重性”和“感知益处”与筛查吸收的增加显著相关。结论：目前的研究表明，移动电话技术显著影响了鼓励被覆盖人群参与筛查的外展努力。
