Applying Mobile Healthcare Education to Improve Cutaneous Self-care Capability

Summary

The goal of this clinical interventional study is to compare the efficacy of mobile healthcare education in two ways (game-based or text-based) to improve cutaneous self-care capability in cancer patients receiving EGFR-based target therapy. The main questions it aims to answer are: Impact of different mobile healthcare education ways on cutaneous self-care capability of patients Impact of different mobile healthcare education ways on learning motivation of patients towards cutaneous self-care knowledge and skills Participants will be randomly divided into two groups. Both groups will download a healthcare education application on their phone. One group will accept the education about the knowledge and self-care skills of cutaneous adverse drug reaction by playing game. In contrast, the other group will accept the same education content by reading text on the phone. Subjects will be asked to use the application at home for two weeks after giving consent to participate this study, and then completed questionnaire three times during study period. The timepoints of completing questionnaire are listed following: Baseline / pre-intervention test (after signing informed consent form, D1) First post-intervention test (after finishing intervention, D15) Second post-intervention test (D30) Researchers will compare game group and text group to see if game group has better performance on cutaneous self-care capability and learning motivation.
