BACKGROUND Mobile health apps are becoming increasingly popular, and they provide opportunities for effective health management. The existing chronic disease management (CDM) apps cannot meet users’ practical and urgent needs, and user adhesion is poor. Few, however, have investigated the factors that influence the continuance intention (CI) of CDM app users. OBJECTIVE Starting from the affordances of CDM apps, this study aimed to analyze how such apps can influence CI through the role of health empowerment (HE). METHODS Adopting a stimulus-organism-response framework, an antecedent model was established for CI from the perspective of perceived affordances, uses and gratifications theory, and HE. Perceived affordances were used as the “stimulus,” users’ gratifications and HE were used as the “organism,” and CI was used as the “response.” Data were collected online through a well-known questionnaire survey platform in China. 323 valid questionnaires were obtained. The theoretical model was tested using structural equation modeling. RESULTS Perceived connection affordances (PCA) were found to have significant positive effects on social interactivity gratification (SIG) (t=6.201, P<.001) and informativeness gratification (IG) (t=5.068, P<.001). Perceived utilitarian affordances (PUA) had significant positive effects on IG (t=7.029, P<.001), technology gratification (TG) (t=8.404, P<.001), and functions gratification (FG) (t=9.812, P<.001). Perceived hedonic affordances (PHA) had significant positive effects on FG (t=5.305, P<.001) and enjoyment gratification (EG) (t=13.768, P<.001). Five gratifications (t=2.767, P<.01; t=4.632, P<.001; t=7.608, P<.001; t=2.496, P<.05; t=5.088, P<.001) had significant positive effect on HE. SIG, IG, and FG had significant positive effects on CI. TG and EG had no significant effect on CI. HE had a significant positive effect on CI. HE and gratifications play mediating roles in the influence of affordances on CI. CONCLUSIONS HE and gratifications of users' needs are effective ways to promote CI. The gratifications of users' needs can realize HE and then inspire CI. Affordances are key antecedents that affects gratifications of users' needs, HE and CI.

Background: Hypertension cases to overcome the patient's hypertension condition would be well or prosperous condition and the patient could prevent complications and control blood pressure. Activities in Chronic Disease Management Program (Prolanis) include medical or educational consultations, home visits, reminders, club activities.Purpose: This study aimed to analyze the application of the prolanis program based on the caring theory by reducing blood pressure in hypertensive patients.Methods: The design of this research is pre-experimental with cross sectional study approach. The population in this study were all patients with hypertension who took part in management program activities in the public health center (PHC), a number of 40 people, with the sampling technique used was accidental sampling and the total sample was 28 people. The data collection method used a questionnaire. The data analysis of this research is to use the Paired t test.Results: The result of this study is that there is a relationship between the application of a chronis disease management programs based on caring theory with blood pressure reduction with an average systolic blood pressure before the intervention of 142?26.15 and after the intervention of 138?1.21 with p= 0.000 which means that the module intervention can decrease systolic and diastolic blood pressure. While for diastolic blood pressure, the results of the study showed that the mean blood pressure before the intervention was 85?10.36 and after the intervention was 85?7.61 with p= 0.000.Conclusion: It can be concluded that there is a possitive effect between giving prolanis module based on caring theory with systolic and diastolic blood pressure
