“…Self-monitoring features include the capabilities of a participant of the websites to be aware of their food and calories, exercise and changes in weight [40]. Continuous monitoring is important so that patients could be alerted with the immediate effects of the health behavior they take such as food intake, exercises and medication [41].…”

“…Continuous monitoring is important so that patients could be alerted with the immediate effects of the health behavior they take such as food intake, exercises and medication [41]. To know their daily progress is likely seen as encouragement and motivation for them to continue to control their behavior [40]. Meanwhile, using mobile phones for selfmonitoring had been said to be cost-efficient [42].…”

Undeniably, there are several reasons to be connected to the Internet. In healthcare, finding health information from the Internet and websites is common among the global community. Searching health information over the Internet can assists chronic-disease patients in self-managing their health condition. Self-management program with Information Technology empowerment would improve time, distance and traffic barriers because it is easily accessible, up-to-date, and offers tailored feedback to patients` health status. There is great demand of health websites use though at the same time users are facing concerns and limitations due to medical jargons use and navigational problems. Hence, there is a strong reason why more studies need to be conducted in this particular area especially in the design and development of health websites. Based on a review of relevant papers, this paper aims to propose a model for websites design features for self-management of chronic-diseases patients. Ten relevant features of health websites are extracted and proposed in this study. The study may be beneficial to health websites users and eventually improve their health conditions.

SummaryThe clinical setting remains a strategic environment for early assessment, identification and treatment of adolescents with obesity. Yet, healthcare providers' (HCPs) efforts have been unsuccessful in improving physical activity, nutritional intake or body mass index in adolescents with obesity. Obesity is a chronic condition that influences how patients interact with HCPs and experience ambulatory healthcare appointments. However, it is unknown how female adolescents with obesity perceive the clinical setting, especially regarding weight management. The purpose of this study was to explore the perceptions of female adolescents with obesity regarding health and weight management in the clinical setting. Using a qualitative design, 28 English‐speaking female adolescents, 13 to 19 years of age, with a body mass index ≥85th percentile for height and weight participated in individual interviews. Results demonstrate that adolescents with obesity desire to be recognized as unique individuals and to be involved in their own health conversations. The participants reported that their health care was inadequate when they received impersonal and vague advice from HCPs on weight loss. Weight‐related communication was best received in a kind and empathetic manner, with a focus on improving one's health (instead of losing weight). Adolescents in this study articulated the components of healthy eating and physical exercise, yet were unable to synthesize this knowledge into specific dietary practices and daily physical activities. The insights derived from female adolescents with obesity provide guidance on how HCPs can improve their relationship and engage the adolescent in weight‐based discussions. Concrete, actionable recommendations are provided for providers who work with female adolescents who are overweight or obese.
