This study employed a qualitative approach using semi-structured individual interviews with adolescents with T1DM (n = 20) aged 14 to 18 years old in Germany to explore their perspectives on digital interventions for health literacy promotion. The study adopted content analysis according to Kuckartz et al. and the research followed the Consolidated Criteria for Reporting Qualitative Research (COREQ) checklist. Ethical considerations were paramount and data were rigorously analyzed using coding and iterative processes to ensure data quality and reliability.
The findings indicate that within three prominent domains, namely the utilization of digital health intervention for accessing and comprehending information, facilitating peer-to-peer interactions, and enhancing physician-patient communication and interaction, digital health interventions are either underutilized or insufficiently deployed. In addition, a notable observation is the apparent lack of patient-centered approaches for adolescents with T1DM in relation to digital health interventions and health literacy.
In order to enhance the utilization of digital health interventions and enhance health literacy it is essential to focus on capacity building through a patient-centered approach, to promote digital health literacy, and foster the cultivation of a participatory culture. The outcomes of this study offer valuable insights that can inform practical applications, further research endeavors, and influence policymaking.
本研究采用定性方法,对德国14至18岁的T1DM(n=20)青少年进行半结构化个人访谈,以探讨他们对数字干预措施促进健康素养的看法。本研究根据Kuckartz等人的观点采用内容分析法。研究遵循了定性研究报告综合标准(COREQ)清单。道德考虑至关重要,使用编码和迭代过程对数据进行严格分析,以确保数据质量和可靠性。
■研究结果表明,在三个突出的领域中,即利用数字健康干预来获取和理解信息,促进点对点互动,加强医患沟通和互动,数字卫生干预措施要么利用不足,要么部署不足。此外,一个值得注意的观察结果是,在数字健康干预和健康素养方面,T1DM青少年明显缺乏以患者为中心的方法.
为了提高数字健康干预措施的利用率和提高健康素养,必须通过以患者为中心的方法来关注能力建设。促进数字健康素养,培养参与式文化。这项研究的结果提供了有价值的见解,可以为实际应用提供信息,进一步的研究努力,影响政策制定。
