|
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of periodic reminding interventions on medication
adherence, self-efficacy, and pain intensity for home-based lung cancer patients.
Methods: A quasi-experimental nonequivalent control group, pretest and posttest design was used. The intervention comprised of individual education by tailored image-combined medication instructions, daily reminding text message, and weekly telephone calls for four weeks. The subjects in this study consisted of 62 lung cancer patients (31 in the experimental group, and 31 in the control group). Mann-Whitney U-test was applied to analyze the data.
Results: Experimental group who received periodic reminding intervention program better adhered to
prescribed medication compared to the control group (z=-6.14, p<.001). Experimental group demonstrated
higher level of self-efficacy compared to the control group (z=-6.74, p<.001). Experimental group experienced
less intense average pain compared to the control group (z=-6.29, p<.001).
Conclusion: The findings suggest that periodic reminding interventions can be applied as an effective nursing intervention to promote medication adherence and self-efficacy to improve and pain management for home-based lung cancer patients.
