Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate an individually tailored multicomponent nonadherence treatment protocol using a telehealth delivery approach in adolescents with inflammatory bowel disease. METHODS: Nine participants, age 13.71±1.35 years, completed a brief treatment online through Skype. Medication nonadherence, severity of disease, and feasibility/acceptability data were obtained. RESULTS: Adherence increased markedly from 62% at baseline to 91% for mesalamine (δ=0.63), but decreased slightly from 61% at baseline to 53% for 6-mercaptopurine /azathioprine. The telehealth delivery approach resulted in cost savings of $100 in mileage and 4 h of travel time/patient. Treatment session attendance was 100%, and the intervention was rated as acceptable, particularly in terms of treatment convenience. CONCLUSION: Individually tailored treatment of nonadherence through telehealth delivery is feasible and acceptable. This treatment shows promise for clinical efficacy to improve medication adherence and reduce costs. Large-scale testing is necessary to determine the impact of this intervention on adherence and health outcomes.
方法9人の参加者(13.71±1.35歳年齢)は、Skypeによって短い治療をオンラインで完了した。
薬物非付着、疾患の重症度と実現可能性/許容性データは、得られた。
結果付着はメサラミン(δ=0.63)のためにベースラインの62%から91%まで著しく増加したが、6-メルカプトプリン/アザチオプリンのために、ベースラインの61%から53%にわずかに減少した。
遠隔健康送出アプローチは、マイル数と4時間の旅行時間/患者で100ドルのコスト削減に帰着した。
治療セッション出席は100%であった、そして、特に治療便宜に関して、介入は受け入れられると評価された。
結論遠隔健康送出を通しての非付着の個々に手直しされた治療は、可能なおよび受け入れられる。
この治療は、臨床的有効度が薬物付着を改善して、コストを下げる約束を示す。
大規模な試験は、この介入の付着と健康結果への影響を決定するのに必要である。
