Effects of a Mobile-App-Based Self-Management Support Program For Elderly Hemodialysis Patients.

Conclusions: The mobile-app-based self-management program developed in this study increased the sick-role behavior, basic psychological needs, and self-efficacy of elderly hemodialysis patients, while physiological parameters were maintained within the normal range. Future studies are needed to develop management systems for high-risk hemodialysis patients and family-sharing apps to manage non-adherent patients. PMID: 32547806 [PubMed]
