Background: Daily routines of patients’ chronic disease self-management and usage of new health technologies highly depend on different forms of interpersonal communication with peers, family members, and friends. Thus, the everyday life integration of digital media in chronic disease self-management is highly embedded in the informal networks of patients. This is confirmed by established theories (e.g., Diffusion of Innovations, Technology Acceptance Model, Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology, Mobile Phone Appropriation Model) and existing research on the adoption and everyday life integration of health technologies. However, the structure, content, and effects of metacommunication within these informal networks are seldom looked at in detail. Objective: IP5: peers aims to (1) systemize the structure of informal networks for everyday life integration of digital media in chronic disease self-management by identifying relevant contacts, (2) analyze the evaluations and addressed factors within the content of the metacommunication, and (3) study the perceived effects of metacommunication on the usage of health-related digital media and health outcomes, integrating influences from interpersonal, organizational, and societal levels. Work program: IP5: peers will conduct three interrelated studies: (1) A scoping literature review will be conducted to gather results on the structure, content, and effects of metacommunication, (2) a quantitative survey with ego-centered network maps will be conducted with 1) asthma/COPD and 2) diabetes patients to identify relevant alteri, their attributes, and tie attributes and gather knowledge about the content and perceived effects. To better understand the underlying mechanisms, (3) qualitative interviews with ego-centered network maps will be conducted with a part of the sample of patients from study 2 to further enrich and explore the results of the quantitative study. Collaborations within the Research Unit: IP5: peers will collaborate mainly with IP4: healthcare, IP6: organizations, IP7: reporting, and IP8: social media and participate in CG: continued use, CG: expectancy-value theories, and CG: network approach. Expected results/contributions: The results will allow us to better integrate the interpersonal determinants in the theories of adoption and integration and contribute methodically to the empirical inquiry of metacommunication for digital coping with chronic diseases by combining ego-centered network analysis with user surveys and interviews. Finally, the identification of relevant strategies concerning private influence provides more holistic and, thus, sustainable intervention strategies for the self-management of chronic diseases.

背景资料：慢性病患者的日常自我管理和新的健康技术的使用高度依赖于不同形式的人际沟通与同行，家庭成员和朋友。因此，数字媒体在慢性病自我管理中的日常生活整合高度嵌入患者的非正式网络中。这一点得到了现有理论的证实（例如，创新的扩散、技术接受模型、接受和使用技术的统一理论、移动的电话占用模型）以及关于卫生技术的采用和日常生活整合的现有研究。然而，这些非正式网络中的元信息化的结构、内容和影响却很少被详细研究。目的：IP5：peers的目的是（1）通过识别相关联系人，系统化慢性病自我管理中数字媒体日常生活整合的非正式网络结构，（2）分析元认知内容中的评估和解决因素，以及（3）研究元认知对健康相关数字媒体使用和健康结果的感知效果，整合来自人际，组织和社会层面。工作方案：IP5：同行将进行三项相互关联的研究：（1）将进行范围界定文献综述，以收集关于元认知的结构、内容和影响的结果，（2）将对1）哮喘/COPD和2）糖尿病患者进行以自我为中心的网络图定量调查，以确定相关的改变、其属性和关联属性，并收集关于内容和感知影响的知识。为了更好地理解潜在的机制，（3）将对研究2的部分样本进行以自我为中心的网络地图的定性访谈，以进一步丰富和探索定量研究的结果。研究单位内的合作：IP 5：同行将主要与IP 4：医疗保健，IP 6：组织，IP7：报告和IP 8：社交媒体合作，并参与CG：持续使用，CG：期望价值理论和CG：网络方法。预期成果/贡献：研究结果将使我们能够更好地整合采用和整合理论中的人际决定因素，并通过将以自我为中心的网络分析与用户调查和访谈相结合，系统地为数字化应对慢性疾病的元认知的实证调查做出贡献。最后，确定有关私人影响的相关策略，为慢性病的自我管理提供了更全面的，因此，可持续的干预策略。
