Effect of Gamification on Improved Adherence to Inhaled Medications in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease: Randomized Controlled Trial

Effect of Gamification on Improved Adherence to Inhaled Medications in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease: Randomized Controlled Trial

This raises concerns about whether patients are correctly inhaling their medication over the long term [14,15]. In addition, lengthy and monotonous educational materials may lack appeal for patients with COPD [16]. In clinical practice, medical professionals provide health education manuals [17] and videos demonstrating proper inhaler techniques [18], which result in passive patient education.

Nurse-Delivered Telehealth in Home-Based Palliative Care: Integrative Systematic Review

Nurse-Delivered Telehealth in Home-Based Palliative Care: Integrative Systematic Review

However, long timing in telehealth visits makes some patients uncomfortable [43]. Patients and nurses could build trust-based relationships via telehealth technologies [59,63]. The relational connection between patients and nurses, and patient education enhance the acceptability of care [45].

Effect of Digital Exercise Therapy on the Pain and Physical Function of Patients With Osteoarthritis: Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

Effect of Digital Exercise Therapy on the Pain and Physical Function of Patients With Osteoarthritis: Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

Our findings align with a previous review of digital therapeutic tools for exercise programs in knee OA [38], which reported significant pain improvements in 10 of 11 studies but did not address long-term outcomes. This underscores the potential of digital modalities for short-term symptom management while highlighting the need for strategies to prolong therapeutic effects. The loss of effect at follow-up is an important finding that warrants further exploration.

A WeChat-Based Decision Aid Intervention to Promote Informed Decision-Making for Family Members Regarding the Genetic Testing of Patients With Colorectal Cancer: Randomized Controlled Trial

A WeChat-Based Decision Aid Intervention to Promote Informed Decision-Making for Family Members Regarding the Genetic Testing of Patients With Colorectal Cancer: Randomized Controlled Trial

Further research is needed to evaluate the long-term impact of CRC education on health behavior change. The potential negative psychological impact of genetic testing for hereditary cancers has long been a concern among geneticists and researchers. However, in this study, no significant differences were observed between groups in any of the psychosocial outcomes.

Effect of Uncertainty-Aware AI Models on Pharmacists’ Reaction Time and Decision-Making in a Web-Based Mock Medication Verification Task: Randomized Controlled Trial

Effect of Uncertainty-Aware AI Models on Pharmacists’ Reaction Time and Decision-Making in a Web-Based Mock Medication Verification Task: Randomized Controlled Trial

Vigilance, or the ability to maintain focus and alertness over long periods, is essential for repeated tasks such as medication verification [16]. Pharmacists must remain alert and cognitively engaged [17]; yet, human vigilance wanes over time. Waning vigilance may be due to fatigue, cognitive overload, or the mundanity of repetitive tasks [18,19]. This is especially concerning in community pharmacies due to the increasing prescription volumes.

Effectiveness of Mobile Apps in Improving Medication Adherence Among Chronic Kidney Disease Patients: Systematic Review

Effectiveness of Mobile Apps in Improving Medication Adherence Among Chronic Kidney Disease Patients: Systematic Review

Managing CKD involves long-term care, with medication adherence being a pivotal aspect [2]. Unfortunately, patients with CKD often struggle with medication adherence, leading to adverse health outcomes and increased health care costs [3-5]. Several factors contribute to nonadherence, such as complex medication regimens, forgetfulness, lack of understanding about the importance of adherence, and limited patient-provider communication [6].

Safety and Efficacy of Modular Digital Psychotherapy for Social Anxiety: Randomized Controlled Trial

Safety and Efficacy of Modular Digital Psychotherapy for Social Anxiety: Randomized Controlled Trial

In the long term, SAD can lead to profound social isolation; missed opportunities; and comorbid conditions such as depression, generalized anxiety disorder, and substance abuse [1,3,4]. While symptoms do not typically improve in the absence of treatment [5,6], cognitive behavioral therapy for social anxiety (CBT-SA) has been established as an effective treatment with moderate to large effects on social anxiety symptoms [7-9].
