Interventions
Combination of social-behavior model and eHealth
The study examines how an intervention combining the social-behavior model and eHealth can improve medication adherence among individuals who struggle to follow their medical regimens. The platform offers multiple features including health education, medication reminders, online consultations, chat rooms, news, and Q\&A services. The intervention and follow-up are based on a 28-day month. The first intervention period runs from the first to the third month post-enrollment, with the introduction of the main features and sharing of health education videos and monthly short films. A follow-up assessment and questionnaire are completed after the third month. The second intervention period is between the fourth and sixth months and includes similar features, and face-to-face counseling. New health education videos and monthly short films are shared as well. After the sixth month, another assessment is conducted to evaluate the post-intervention effects.
