“…There are 3 researches that discuss text messaging or short message services (SMS) that have been applied to various mobile phones regarding health-based intervention (mHealth). One of many strategies to increase compliance is with short message service (SMS) because this media is inexpensive and can reach a large number of people as mobile phones are common in most countries (Bediang et al, 2018) , (Mohan et al, 2018) (Elangovan & Arulchelvan, 2013). Patients receive SMS reminders every day for 6 months.…”

This research literature search relied on data from PubMed, Scopus, and Science Direct databases. Using the keywords “mobile application”, “Directly-Observed Treatment Short-course (DOTS)”, “medication adherence”, “tuberculosis patients”, and “mobile-health”. This scoping review uses data from 10 articles published between 2010-2019. Utilization of Mobile-Health in improving drug adherence of TB patients.

BACKGROUND: Hypertension was an increase of blood pressure which caused damages on the target organs. Treatment therapy of hypertension patients was very complex and required a long period of time. Target of hypertension therapy was to keep the patient’s blood pressure controlled. Achieved therapeutic target was increasing adherence of patient medication. The success of treatment was not only influenced by the quality of health care but also influenced by the patient’s adherence to the treatment. Self-reminder card was a tool helping patients to avoid forget taking medicine. AIM: The aim of this research was to determine the effect of self-reminder card on the level of adherence to treatment in hypertension patients in 10 community health centers (Puskesmas) in Surabaya. METHODS: This research used QUASI experimental two groups pre-post prospective. Adherence measurement used Morisky, Green, Levine Adherence Scale questionnaire. The results of the questionnaire were analyzed statistically. Research was conducted in May 2020 at the community health center in Surabaya. Research criteria are patients with hypertension diagnosis without comorbid disease who get antihypertensive therapy. RESULTS: The results of the study obtained 115 patients (55 control group patients and 60 intervention group patients). Statistical analysis using Mann–Whitney, there was a difference between the level of adherence to treatment in the control and intervention group with the value of p < 0.001. A test analysis using Wilcoxon signed-rank, there was a difference between the level of adherence to treatment before and after the intervention group with the value p < 0.001. CONCLUSIONS: Self-reminder card was effective in increasing the level of adherence to the treatment of hypertension patients.

“…Treatment adherence is also linked to patients’ emotional well-being, the mental strength with which they face the situation, and ultimately, their level of positive mental health [ 23 , 24 ]. It has been observed that interventions are needed to improve lack of treatment adherence [ 25 ]. No studies have been found in medical literature on the subject of pharmacological adherence and patients with femur fractures.…”

Background Considering the prognosis of femur fractures worldwide, the ageing of our society, and the problems in adherence to treatment found in these patients, it is believed that mobile health can have a positive impact on the process and quality of care. Objective We aim to evaluate the effectiveness of a pharmacological educational nurse intervention with Myplan app with regard to knowledge, adherence to pharmacological treatment, and positive mental health of patients with femur fractures. Methods A nonrandomized, quasi-experimental study will be carried out with a pretest-posttest control group. It will include 278 older patients diagnosed with femur fractures, with a Glasgow Coma Scale of 15 and access to mobile devices. Patients with psychological pathologies and cognitive impairment or patients treated in isolation will be excluded. Study variables are as follows: sociodemographic variables (AdHoc Form), patient experience (Patient Experience Questionnaire-15), adherence to pharmacological treatment (Morisky-Green questionnaire), and positive mental health (Positive Mental Health questionnaire). The measurements will be taken 24 hours after admission, upon discharge, and 25 days after discharge. Results Enrollment commenced in October 2022. Data collection will be completed in April 2023. Conclusions The results of this study will offer evidence of the effectiveness of a pharmacological educational nurse intervention by means of a free smartphone app. If its efficacy is demonstrated and the results are acceptable, it could mean an improvement in the care of patients with femur fractures, and this technology could be used to guide other training interventions in patients with other pathologies.
