Keywords:
Mobile application, Care management, Self-efficacy, Allergic rhinitisAbstract
The objectives of this study were to compare the mean score of 1) the parents’ self-efficacy in care management for children with allergic rhinitis between an experiment group who used a mobile application for care management and a comparison group who received standard care before and after the experiment; 2) the parents’ self-efficacy of the experimental group in care management for the children before and after experiment; and 3) to study the parents’ satisfaction for the experimental group on using the mobile application in care management of allergic rhinitis children.
A sample comprised 70 parents of allergic rhinitis children. They were selected by purposive sampling and divided into an experimental group and a comparison group of 35 people each by a random assignment. The research instruments consisted of 1) a mobile application for care management of children with allergic rhinitis; 2) a parents’ self-efficacy questionnaire with reliability value of 0.95; and 3) parents' satisfaction with using of mobile application for care management of children with allergic rhinitis with reliability value of 0.91. Data were analyzed by descriptive statistics, and t-test.
The results revealed that: 1) After the experiment, the mean score of parents' self-efficacy in the experimental group were significantly higher than the comparison group (p< .001). 2) After implementing the application, the post-test mean score of parents’ self-efficacy in the experimental group were also significantly higher than the pre-test mean score (p<.001). 3) Finally, parents' satisfaction after using the mobile application was at the highest level (x=4.62, SD =0.34).
The results revealed that: After the experiment, the experimental group had a higher mean self-efficacy score than before the experiment and higher than the comparison group with statistical significance (p<.001). Finally, parents’ satisfaction after using the mobile application was at the highest level (x̅ = 4.62, SD = 0.34).
From this research, Administrators should support and formulate guidelines for implementing mobile applications for the care management of allergic rhinitis children in conjunction with specific standard of care diseases.
