Feasibility of a Text Messaging Intervention to Promote Self-Management for Patients Prescribed Oral Anticancer Agents.

CONCLUSIONS: Proof of concept and preliminary efficacy of an mHealth intervention using texts to promote self-management for patients prescribed OAs was demonstrated. Patients had high satisfaction with the texts, and adherence and symptoms improved after the intervention. . IMPLICATIONS FOR NURSING: Texts show promise for patients with cancer who must manage their OAs. Additional research is needed prior to use in practice. . PMID: 26488833 [PubMed - in process]
