Abstract
This study is a qualitative study using focus group interview to explore the perception regarding smartphone use for adhering to self-care in chronic heart failure patients. Eleven patients who were diagnosed with heart failure were included. Three focus groups were held with heart failure patients at an outpatient cardiac care center. The focus group discussions were transcribed verbatim and analyzed using the method of constant comparative analysis. The 12 sub-themes were categorized into 'perception of smartphone use', 'Barriers to smartphone use', and 'Facilitators to smartphone use'. We found that the need to design tailored the messages or health information based on individual preferences. Our findings will be used to develop or design a smartphone based self-care program for patients with heart failure.
