Impact of peer support on acute care visits and hospitalizations for individuals with diabetes and depressive symptoms: a cluster-randomized controlled trial.
This study examined the impact of peer support on the number of acute care visits and hospitalizations for individuals with diabetes with and without depressive symptoms. This randomized controlled trial was conducted from 2010-2012. One year of peer support was given to intervention participants, and the usual care to control participants. A Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-8) was given to participants to assess depression symptoms at the beginning of the trial, at 6 months and then at 12 months. There was a lower rate of acute care visits and hospitalizations in those patients with depressive symptoms in the intervention group, but it made no difference for individuals without depressive symptoms.

Patient perceptions of barriers to self-management of breast cancer-related lymphedema.
This article reports on results from a study which used an IRB-approved focus group and mailed surveys to identify barriers to lymphedema self-management, definitions of education and support from breast cancer survivors with lymphedema, types of education and support they had received, what kind of education and support they wanted. Lack of education about lymphedema treatment and risk reduction was identified as a main barrier. Women’s responses also make it unclear whether or not they were exposed to support options other than medical treatment.

Let's talk numbers: a qualitative study of community-dwelling US adults to understand the role of numeracy in the management of heart failure.
This qualitative study examined the role of numeracy (basic number skills) in the management of patients with heart failure (HF). Thirty men and women aged 47-89 years with a history of HF were recruited from an urban academic primary care practice. Participants all had a history of HF within the past year, were seen at the practice within the last year, and had been hospitalized for HF within the last 6 months. They were interviewed about their numeracy to help manage monitoring weight, maintaining a low-salt diet, and monitoring blood pressure. A wide range of knowledge and understanding was found and fear served as a barrier and facilitator to carrying out HF self-care tasks involving numbers. If the patient has a caregiver who also lacks those skills or does not have HF care training, patients may not be managing their HF as well as they should.

Randomized controlled trial of a self-administered five-day antiseptic bundle versus usual disinfectant soap showers for preoperative eradication of Staphylococcus aureus colonization.
The objective of this study was to determine the efficacy in eradicating Staphylococcus aureus (SA) carriage of a 5-day preoperative decolonization bundle compared to 2 disinfectant soap showers, with both regimens self-administered at home. The investigators concluded that an outpatient preoperative antiseptic decolonization bundle aimed at 4 body sites was significantly more effective in eradicating SA than the usual disinfectant showers (ie, the control).

Understanding the predisposing, enabling, and reinforcing factors influencing the use of a mobile-based HIV management app: a real-world usability evaluation.
In this study, the authors conducted an in-depth analysis of users' experiences using an HIV self-management app. Usability evaluation in a real-world setting enabled the investigators to measure users' actual experiences when interacting with the app during their everyday lives. They suggest that their work highlighted the importance of using mobile technology for persons living with HIV, specifically those with low income/housing instability.

Home is where the head is: a distributed cognition account of personal health information management in the home among those with chronic illness.
Researchers combined distributed cognition theory and a patient work-system model to investigate how characteristics of the home interact with the cognitive work of personal health information management (PHIM) for chronic illness. A 3D cave automatic virtual-reality environment (CAVE) enabled participants diagnosed with diabetes to describe how they would perform PHIM within a home context. The researchers found that PHIM is ‘distinctly cognitive work,’ and that features of the physical environment - tasks, people, tools and technologies - continuously shape/are shaped by the PHIM process. They suggest that approaches in which the individual is considered relevant for analysis overlook the role of environment in shaping PHIM.

Rapid evidence review of mobile applications for self-management of diabetes.
The study authors conducted a rapid evidence review to examine features, clinical efficacy, and usability of apps for self-management of type 1 and type 2 diabetes in adults. The investigators found limited evidence suggesting that use of some commercially available apps, when combined with additional support from a healthcare provider or study staff, may improve some short-term diabetes-related outcomes. The impact of these apps on longer-term outcomes was unclear.

Expanding the Facebook platform to engage and educate online communities.
This article discusses the development and use of a mobile application (app) called Liver Space that was developed through Facebook’s platform. This app is for the pediatric liver community including patients and caregivers. Unlike most Facebook health groups, this one is vetted by healthcare providers who are specialists. The app provides up-to-date information and includes emerging news, summaries from important scholarly journals and human interest stories. There is an “ask an expert” function incorporated into Liver Space. Also included in the app is the ability for users to track their labs and weight and to graph the data.

Common questions in food allergy avoidance.
Allergists must be able to provide avoidance advice while suggesting age and nutritionally appropriate substitutions. This review therefore focuses on providing an understanding of identifying potential myths that may surround certain aspects of food allergy management, with a focus on redirecting misconceptions, and enhancing communications that can improve how patients live life with disease.

Effect of health plan financial incentive offering on employees with prediabetes.
Researchers studied the effect of employee health plan financial incentives on health outcomes for employees with prediabetes. They found that employees who participated in disease management lost more weight than those who did not. A worksite wellness program offering health plan financial incentives for participation and outcomes was associated with improvements not only in weight but also in HbA1c.

Is the better part of valor truly discretion?
The authors argue that the current model for managing peanut allergy is broken, and this fracture is hallmarked by the rapid increase in poor quality of life and poor empowerment of patients. The risk of fatality is often overblown in the face of data that suggest food allergy fatality is exceedingly low. However, the horizon is bright for future therapies and additional risk modeling, which can better arm decision making and means to inform patients about how to personalize management of their food allergy going forward.

Daily and seasonal influences on dietary self-monitoring using a smartphone application.
Researchers examined within-person variation in dietary self-monitoring during a 6-month technology-supported weight loss trial as a function of time-varying factors including time in the study, day of the week, and month of the year. They found that participants recorded less as time in the study progressed. Fewer foods were reported on the weekends compared with weekdays. More foods were self-monitored in January compared with October; however, a seasonal effect was not observed.

Usability of commercially available mobile applications for diverse patients.
The objective of this study was to investigate the usability of existing mobile health applications ("apps") for diabetes, depression, and caregiving, in order to facilitate development and tailoring of patient-facing apps for diverse populations. Participants completed 43 percent of tasks across 11 apps without assistance. Three themes emerged from participant comments: lack of confidence with technology, frustration with design features and navigation, and interest in having technology to support their self-management.

Perceived effectiveness, self-efficacy, and social support for oral appliance therapy among older veterans with obstructive sleep apnea.
Adherence to oral appliance therapy may be influenced by patients' perceived effectiveness of the therapy, self-efficacy, and availability of social support. The researchers examined these perceptions among older adults with obstructive sleep apnea who were prescribed oral appliance therapy. They concluded that only about one third of older adults perceived it as an effective treatment, were confident about oral appliance use, and/or believed that they would receive needed support.
