背景：移动医疗（mHealth）被认为是数字医疗中的一个突出概念，被广泛使用且易于获取。在最近的 COVID-19 大流行期间，中风幸存者的定期随访、先前计划的程序和康复服务均被削减。因此，在这项定性研究中，我们旨在探讨非正式护理人员在中风管理中对移动应用程序的需求。方法：从 2020 年 11 月至 2021 年 6 月进行了一项现象学定性研究。从马来西亚吉兰丹州哥打巴鲁的两个公共康复中心招募了 13 名受访者。进行了深入采访。通过有目的的抽样，全面反映了受访者的观点。访谈以吉兰丹方言进行，并通过主题分析进行记录、转录和分析。结果：13 名参与者参与了访谈。他们都同意中风管理中需要移动应用程序。他们相信未来的中风应用程序将帮助他们寻求信息、持续中风家庭护理，并帮助护理人员和中风患者的福利。结论：当前的研究揭示了两个主题以及已确定的各自的子主题，即自我寻求信息和未来使用中风移动应用程序的原因。该应用程序有助于降低医疗成本、增强康复过程、促进患者参与决策以及持续监测患者健康状况。
Background: Mobile health (mHealth) has been considered as a prominent concept in digital health and is widely used and easily accessible. Periodic follow-up visits, previously planned procedures, and rehabilitation services for stroke survivors have been cut down during the recent COVID-19 pandemic. Therefore, in this qualitative study we aimed to explore the need for a mobile application in stroke management by informal caregivers. Methods: A phenomenological qualitative study was conducted from November 2020 to June 2021. Thirteen respondents were recruited from two public rehabilitation centers in Kota Bharu, Kelantan, Malaysia. In-depth interviews were conducted. A comprehensive representation of perspectives from the respondents was achieved through purposive sampling. The interviews were conducted in the Kelantanese dialect, recorded, transcribed, and analyzed by using thematic analysis. Results: Thirteen participants were involved in the interviews. All of them agreed with the need for a mobile application in stroke management. They believed the future stroke application will help them to seek information, continuous stroke home care, and help in the welfare of caregivers and stroke patients. Conclusions: The current study revealed two themes with respective subthemes that were identified, namely, self-seeking for information and reasons for using a stroke mobile application in the future. This application helps in reducing healthcare costs, enhancing the rehabilitation process, facilitating patient engagement in decision making, and the continuous monitoring of patient health.
