護理創新實作－肌少症居家護理指導app開發及應用探討
Nursing Innovation and Practice on the Development and Application of Home Care Guidance App for Sarcopenia
摘要
護理多元照護融入科技是一新趨勢，本文以肌少症開發居家照護app為實例。肌少症會造成許多不良預後，目前台灣民眾對肌少症的認知及定義仍不清楚，甚至許多長者在已發生功能損傷之後才被確診肌少症。本研究主要目的為：開發肌少症居家照護app，並探討使用者對該app使用經驗、肌少症之知識改變及自我照顧認知影響成效。採單組前後測研究設計，於台灣北區教學醫院招募120位符合自覺或疑似肌少症高危險群之參與者，使用三個月該app後進行後測。以成對樣本t檢定（Paired t test）、卡方檢定（Chi-square）、Odds ratio進行統計分析。研究結果顯示，使用肌少症居家照護app三個月後，可提升對肌少症疾病知識及自我照護認知，app使用滿意度達96.1%。研究結果能作為運用人工智慧推廣疾病預測及以app傳遞照護訊息之重要參考。

The integration of technology intervening multidisciplinary nursing care is a new trend. This paper exemplifies the development of home care apps tailored for sarcopenia. Sarcopenia often leads to unfavorable prognoses as currently, a lack of clear understanding and definition of sarcopenia is common among the Taiwanese people, resulting in functional impairment among many elderly individuals following a sarcopenia diagnosis. The aims of this study encompass the development of a home care app designed for sarcopenia and exploring the impact of users' experiences on using it, changes in sarcopenia-related knowledge, and the influence on self-care cognition. Employing a single-group pre-test and post-test research design, there were 120 participants meeting the high-risk criteria for perceived or suspected sarcopenia who were also enlisted from a teaching hospital in northern Taiwan. Subsequently, a post-test evaluation was conducted following a three-month app usage period. Statistical analysis imposed the use of paired t-tests, chi-square tests, and odds ratios. The research revealed noteworthy enhancements in sarcopenia-related knowledge and self-care awareness after three months of employing the sarcopenia home care app. Impressively, the satisfaction rate with the app usage reached 96.1%. The research serves as an important reference for leveraging artificial intelligence in disease prediction and utilizing apps as channels for disseminating crucial care-related information.
