Effect of Mobile Application-Based Education on Self-Efficacy, Medication Adherence and Sleep Quality in Asthma.

Asthma patients with recurrent airway obstruction frequently exhibit poor symptom control, characterized by treatment non-adherence and sleep-wake cycle disturbances. A nurse-led mobile health education intervention may address these challenges by enhancing collaborative disease management, enabling remote patient monitoring, and strengthening self-management competencies. The AstımAsistan application was designed to monitor changes in patient self-efficacy, medication adherence, and sleep quality through three core features: (1) patient education modules, (2) breathing exercise/medication reminders, and (3) mobile consultation capabilities. Study data were collected using four instruments: (1) the Participant Information Form, (2) the Chronic Disease Self-Efficacy Scale, (3) the Medication Adherence Reporting Scale, and (4) the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index. The mobile education-based application was developed following the ADDIE (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation) instructional design model."
