Abstract:
Objective To explore hypertension patients' acceptability with the remote management model, and to provide a basis for clinical application in the future.Methods Totally 10 patients who received remote management between June and September 2016 were selected, and received unstructured interviews based on the technology acceptance model (TAM) with the phenomenological method in qualitative studies. And the data thus collected were analyzed and organized with the Colaizzi Seven-Step Method to find main themes. Results Totally 3 themes were found according to TAM, including perceived ease of use (the management platform was easy for use according to patients), perceived usefulness (patients better understood their own blood pressure, changed their habits of blood pressure monitoring and unhealthy lifestyle, improved treatment efficiency, and saved time costs), and intention of use (the participation of medical and nursing staffs could directly affect patients' intention of use, and patients had different opinions on expenses, believing that it was more meaningful to conduct remote management in short time and in particular cases).Conclusions Patients show a high acceptability with the remote management model, and in clinical application, further research is needed to tackle real difficulties and ensure the sustainable development of the model.
