Improving medication adherence in patients with chronic illnesses and cognitive decline is a key priority in healthcare management and nursing administration. This quasi-experimental study utilizes a pretest-posttest design to examine the effectiveness of a mobile application-based reminder system designed specifically for patients experiencing memory impairment.
Participants will be selected based on specific inclusion criteria, including being diagnosed with a chronic disease and exhibiting mild-to-moderate memory impairment. Baseline assessments (pretest) will be conducted to measure initial medication adherence levels, patient demographics, and health status. Following the baseline phase, the intervention will be introduced, where participants will utilize the mobile application to receive automated medication alerts and reminders over a specified period. Evaluation (posttest) will be performed post-intervention to analyze changes in adherence rates. The findings are expected to provide insights into how nursing leadership can leverage mobile health (mHealth) technology to design supportive care pathways, enhance patient independence, and reduce clinical complications associated with poor treatment adherence.
