“…Such campaigns hopefully can increase women's BCS uptake because a prior study has shown that mobile health (mHealth) apps can improve screening behavior and self-management, especially among BC survivors. [57][58][59] Similarly, healthcare workers should educate women about the importance of annual routine BCS. Effective communication using verbal persuasion and social influence by healthcare workers recommended by Bandura 54 can boost women's ability and decisions to receive CBE or mammogram.…”

Introduction: Breast cancer (BC) is a major public health problem among women. However, BC screening uptake is abysmally low among Nigerian women. This study evaluated the association of BC fear and perceived self-efficacy with BC screening (clinical breast exam [CBE] and mammography) among middle-aged Nigerian women. Methods: A community-based cross-sectional study was conducted among middle-aged women in Enugu State, southeast Nigeria. The data were collected between September 2019 and February 2020. The BC screening uptake, fear, and self-efficacy were assessed using the validated Breast Cancer Screening Questionnaire (BCSQ), Champion Breast Cancer Fear Scale (CBCFS), and Champion’s Mammography Self-Efficacy Scale (CMSES). Data were analyzed using frequencies and percentages, chi-square test, and univariate analysis of variance. Bivariate and multivariable logistic regression models were used to examine independent associations between selected sociodemographic factors, cancer fear, perceived self-efficacy, and BC screening. Results: The mean age of the participants was 55.3 years (SD: 5.75). More than half of the women (51%) reported having a BC screening in the past 12 months. However, only 12.5% and 16.9% reported having a CBE or mammogram in the past 12 months. The prevalence of a high, moderate, and low level of fear was 68%, 22.3%, and 9.8%, respectively. The prevalence of a high, moderate, and low self-efficacy level was 50.6%, 37.5%, and 12.0%, respectively. The multivariable logistics regression analysis showed that women aged 50-59 years and 60-64 years were 3.5 times (adjusted odds ratio [AOR] = 3.50, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 2.07-5.89, P < .0001), and 5.92 times (AOR = 5.92 95% CI: 2.63-13.35, P < .0001), respectively, more likely to perform mammogram than those aged 40-49 years. Women with a high level of self-efficacy were 2.68 times (AOR = 2.68, 95% CI: 1.15-6.26, P < .0001) more likely to use mammographic screening than those with low self-efficacy. Although not statistically significant, women with a moderate level of BC fear were 0.56 times less likely to use mammogram than women with a low level of BC fear. Conclusion: A low proportion of women underwent CBE or mammography. Women had a high level of BC fear and a moderate level of self-efficacy for BC screening. The findings emphasize the need for health educational and psychosocial interventions that improve self-efficacy and promote regular BC screening among middle-aged women.

Is mHealth a Useful Tool for Self-Assessment and Rehabilitation of People with Multiple Sclerosis? A Systematic Review

et al. 2021

The development of mobile technology and mobile Internet offers new possibilities in rehabilitation and clinical assessment in a longitudinal perspective for multiple sclerosis management. However, because the mobile health applications (mHealth) have only been developed recently, the level of evidence supporting the use of mHealth in people with multiple sclerosis (pwMS) is currently unclear. Therefore, this review aims to list and describe the different mHealth available for rehabilitation and self-assessment of pwMS and to define the level of evidence supporting these interventions for functioning problems categorized within the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF). In total, 36 studies, performed with 22 different mHealth, were included in this review, 30 about rehabilitation and six for self-assessment, representing 3091 patients. For rehabilitation, most of the studies were focusing on cognitive function and fatigue. Concerning the efficacy, we found a small but significant effect of the use of mHealth for cognitive training (Standardized Mean Difference (SMD) = 0.28 [0.12; 0.45]) and moderate effect for fatigue (SMD = 0.61 [0.47; 0.76]). mHealth is a promising tool in pwMS but more studies are needed to validate these solutions in the other ICF categories. More replications studies are also needed as most of the mHealth have only been assessed in one single study.

“…Smartphone technology represents an opportunity to deliver practical solutions for people affected by cancer at a scale that was previously unimaginable, such as information, appointment monitoring, and improved access to cancer support services [1]. Mobile health (mHealth) apps can provide an accessible platform for self-management among breast cancer survivors, as they recover from not just the intensive cancer treatments, but also their associated side-effects [2]. Breast cancer is a discrediting disease and its treatment can bring genuine results that have a physical and mental effect.…”

Introduction: Breast cancer rates have been increasing worldwide, particularly among young women, suggesting important interactions between genes and health behaviors. At the same time, mobile technology, including smartphones applications (apps), has emerged as a new tool for delivering healthcare and health-related services. In 2019, there were nearly 670 publicly available breast cancer apps designed to provide disease and treatment information, to manage disease, and raise overall awareness.Material and Methods: In order to conduct a review, the Medline, Scopus and PubMed databases were searched with the keywords "mobile health", "mobile health in electronics health", "breast cancer and electronic health"," mobile health and breast cancer"," mobile health and breast cancer qualify life" and their equivalent. Out of the 60 articles found, after the depth of the criteria Inclusion in the study, 16 articles remained, which were reviewed and given using PRISMA 2020 checklist. SPSS software v.22 was used for description analysis.Results: A total of 16 articles met the inclusion criteria and were included in this review. All studies have determined the positive impact of applications on cancer detection and clinical health outcomes. In addition, more than half of mobile applications have multiple functions, such as providing information, planning and education. Furthermore, most studies examining patient satisfaction and quality improvement have shown that users of healthcare applications are significantly more satisfied with life, leading to better quality.Conclusion: The evidence of the studies which are included in this systematic review is currently limited, but it suggests that the mobile apps might be an acceptable information source for women with breast cancer and lead to improved patient well-being.
