“…Early efforts to measure engagement with Internet-based interventions used general engagement measures, such as number of messages posted [7, 10, 20-24], number of logins [7, 9, 24-26], number of page views [5, 27], and time on the study website [9, 24, 28, 29]. Number of logins is one of the most commonly reported types of engagement across Internet-based interventions for health [30–32].…”

Background Understanding patterns and predictors of engagement could improve the efficacy of Internet interventions. Purpose The purpose of the study was to characterize engagement in a multi-component Internet intervention for cancer survivors with distress. Methods Data were derived from 296 cancer survivors provided with access to the Internet intervention and included self-report measures and directly-measured engagement with each component of the intervention. Results Over 12 weeks, average total engagement was 7.3 h (sd=11.7), and 42% of participants spent >3 h on the website. Participants spent more time using social networking components than structured intervention content. Greater early and total engagement was associated with previous chemotherapy, being female, and being recruited via the Internet. Early engagement was associated with greater fatigue and more social constraints. Conclusions For many users, engagement with an Internet intervention was quite high. Reducing attrition and tailoring content to better meet the needs of those who do not engage should be a focus of future efforts.

“…Such technologies are increasingly used as interventions to address health problems such as self-management of chronic disease, counseling children with traumatic brain injury, and binge eating among teens. [25][26][27] In the NICU, several webcam programs are currently available, such as NICView 28 and Angel Eye at the University of Arkansas. 29,30 Another program (BabyCareLink) at the Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center allows parents to view their infant and also provides informational and emotional support by using resources such as an online library and links to external resources.…”

“…The literature review indicates that Webbased interventions have been developed with a focus on diverse practice areas of nursing. Approximately 40% of the Web-based interventions were for management of specific diseases (eg, eating disorder, 51 diabetes mellitus, 1,17 cancer, 49 depression, 23 metabolic syndrome, 3 hypertension, 52 asthma, 44 venous ulcers, 22 and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease 29 ). More than 30% of the interventions were for disease prevention and health promotion (eg, screening for hepatitis B, 53 prevention of osteoporosis, 12,20 prevention of obesity, 45 and prevention of hip fracture 48 ).…”

Despite a recent high funding priority on technological aspects of research and a high potential impact of Web-based interventions on health, few guidelines for the development of Web-based interventions are currently available. In this article, we propose practical guidelines for development of Web-based interventions based on an empirical study and an integrative literature review. The empirical study aimed at development of a Web-based physical activity promotion program that was specifically tailored to Korean American midlife women. The literature review included a total of 202 articles that were retrieved through multiple databases. On the basis of the findings of the study and the literature review, we propose directions for development of Web-based interventions in the following steps: (1) meaningfulness and effectiveness, (2) target population, (3) theoretical basis/program theory, (4) focus and objectives, (5) components, (6) technological aspects, and (7) logistics for users. The guidelines could help promote further development of Web-based interventions at this early stage of Web-based interventions in nursing.
