Text Messaging Intervention

BACKGROUND Although mobile health (mHealth) has been widely applied in health care services, few studies have reported the detailed process of the development and implementation of text messaging (short message service, SMS) interventions. OBJECTIVE Our study aims to demonstrate the process and lessons learned from a community-based text messaging (SMS) intervention for improving infant feeding in Shanghai, China. METHODS The intervention included planning and development, implementation, and process evaluation. A 3-phase process was adopted during planning and development: (1) a formative study with expectant and new mothers to explore the barriers of appropriate infant feeding practices; (2) a baseline questionnaire survey to understand potential intervention approaches; and (3) development of the text message bank. The text messaging intervention was delivered via a computer-based platform. A message bank was established before the start of the intervention containing information on the benefits of breastfeeding, preparing for breastfeeding, early initiation of breastfeeding, timely introduction of complementary foods, and establishing appropriate feeding practices, etc. An expert advisory committee oversaw the content and quality of the message bank. Process evaluation was conducted through field records and qualitative interviews with participating mothers. RESULTS We found that the text messaging intervention was feasible and well received by mothers because of its easy and flexible access. The weekly based message frequency was thought to be appropriate, and the contents were anticipatory and trustworthy. Some mothers had high expectations for timely response to inquiries. Occasionally, the text messages were not delivered due to unstable telecommunication transmission. Mothers suggested that the messages could be more personalized. CONCLUSIONS This study demonstrates the feasibility and value of text messaging intervention in filling gaps in delivering health care services and promoting healthy infant feeding practices in settings where personal contact is limited.

Tuberculosis (TB) is still a deadly infectious disease in the community. TB patient’s compliance in the consumption of Anti-TB drugs for 6 months, determine the recovery of TB patients. The outpatients TB is most likely to experience a drug dropout which can lead to Multi Drug Resistance Tuberculosis (MDR-TB), so that Supervisors Take Medication are needed to prevent the occurrence of MDR-TB. Ners-Short Message Service Intervention (N-SMSI) is one of the information systems that can developed to prevent the occurrence of MDR-TB. The purpose of writing this article is to describe and analyze the development of N-SMSI telenursing as an information system for conducting observations in the care of TB patients who can help TB patients achieve recovery in a way that effective and efficient. The method in writing this article is the study of literature using a variety of literature related to the application of N-SMSI especially in the prevention of MDR-TB. The results of the literature study show that N-SMSI can be utilized in monitoring patient compliance in consuming OAT, so that expectations cured patients is very large and the mortality rate in TB cases can be suppressed as much as possible. This literature recommends the application of N-SMSI in outpatient TB patients to facilitate activities monitoring by health workers in the prevention of MDR-TB.Keywords: MDR-TB, N-SMS, Telenursing, Tuberculosis
