Opis: Uvod: Sladkorna bolezen tipa 2 postaja vse večji javnozdravstveni izziv in zahteva upoštevanje kompleksnega režima zdravljenja. V sodobni zdravstveni oskrbi se poudarja aktivna odgovornost pacientov za samooskrbo bolezni, kar vključuje sprejemanje zdravih življenjskih navad. Z rastjo digitalne tehnologije se povečuje tudi število mobilnih aplikacij, namenjenih samooskrbi. Namen doktorske disertacije je oceniti učinkovitost uporabe mobilne aplikacije za izboljšanje samooskrbe pacientov s sladkorno boleznijo tipa 2. Metode: Izvedli smo sistematično iskanje mobilnih aplikacij v spletnih trgovinah Google Play Store in iPadian. Funkcije vedenja samooskrbe so bile ocenjene v skladu z okvirjem AADE7, kakovost pa je bila ocenjena z uporabo lestvice uMARS. Uporabili smo dva anketna vprašalnika, "Self-Care of Diabetes Inventory" za oceno samooskrbe in "Brief Illness Perception Questionnaire" za oceno percepcije bolezni, ki sta bila validirana v pilotni raziskavi. V randomizirani klinični raziskavi smo ocenili vpliv uporabe mobilne aplikacije na izboljšanje samooskrbe, percepcije bolezni in zdravstvenega stanja pacienta. Pred začetkom raziskave in po štirih tednih so pacienti izpolnili oba anketna vprašalnika, ter izvedli klinične meritve. V končnem delu so sledili delno strukturirani intervjuji z medicinskimi sestrami in pacienti. Rezultati: Mobilna aplikacija forDiabetes: diabetes self-management app je bila izbrana kot najprimernejša za nadaljnjo raziskavo. V pilotni raziskavi je sodelovalo 141 pacientov z diagnosticirano sladkorno boleznijo tipa 2. Svojo samozavest za izvajanje samooskrbe so ocenili z najvišjo povprečno oceno, medtem ko so najnižje ocenili upravljanje samooskrbe. Anketni vprašalnik Self-Care of Diabetes Inventory je bil na podlagi rezultatov pilotne raziskave slabo usklajen z metrikami uporabniškega modela za spremljanje samooskrbe, samozavest in upravljanje samooskrbe, vendar je CFA za vzdrževanje samooskrbe pokazal dobro ujemanje. Cronbachova alfa je pokazala odlične rezultate za samozavest, dobre za spremljanje, sprejemljive za vzdrževanje in šibke za upravljanje samooskrbe. Izračuni za vprašalnik Brief Illness Perception Questionnaire so pokazali visoko stopnjo strinjanja med ocenjevalci in odlično veljavnost vprašanj. Cronbachova alfa za zanesljivost je bila 0,652, kar kaže na zadovoljivo notranjo skladnost. V glavni raziskavi štiri tedne po uporabi mobilne aplikacije ni bilo mogoče zaznati statistično pomembnega izboljšanja v samooskrbi, percepciji bolezni in kliničnih meritvah. Na podlagi kvalitativnega dela raziskave smo ugotovili, da imajo zdravstveni delavci in pacienti pozitiven pogled na uporabo mobilne aplikacije ter da jim je uporaba pripomogla k večji doslednosti pri spremljanju svoje bolezni in lažji vpogled v meritve. Na podlagi pridobljenih rezultatov smo adaptirali teorijo srednjega obsega za samooskrbo kroničnih bolezni v povezavi z mobilnim zdravjem in dodatno vključili naslednje komponente: znanje, doslednost, karakteristike mobilnega zdravja in mobilne aplikacije, varovanje in integriteta pacientovih podatkov, izidi pri pacientu, priporočene značilnosti in funkcionalnosti mobilne aplikacije ter usmeritve za implementacijo mobilnega zdravja v zdravstveno oskrbo. Razprava in sklep: V doktorski raziskavi smo ugotovili, da pri pacientih s sladkorno boleznijo tipa 2 prihaja do odstopanj v samooskrbi. Čeprav vključitev mobilnih aplikacij v samooskrbo ni prinesla klinično pomembnih rezultatov, so tako zdravstveni delavci kot pacienti izrazili pozitiven pogled na njihovo uporabo. Ugotovitve raziskave nakazujejo potrebo po uvedbi enotnih smernic, ki bi opredeljevale standarde za uporabo mobilnega zdravja v vseh zdravstvenih institucijah v državi. Za natančnejšo oceno dolgoročnega učinka uporabe mobilne aplikacije na samooskrbo, percepcijo bolezni in zdravstveno stanje pacientov bi bilo smiselno izvesti raziskave na večjem vzorcu in v daljšem časovnem obdobju.

Opis: Modification and functionalization of polymer surface properties is desired in numerous applications, and a standard technique is a treatment with non-equilibrium gaseous plasma. Fluorinated polymers exhibit specific properties and are regarded as difficult to functionalize with polar functional groups. Plasma methods for functionalization of polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) are reviewed and different mechanisms involved in the surface modification are presented and explained by the interaction of various reactive species and far ultraviolet radiation. Most authors used argon plasma but reported various results. The discrepancy between the reported results is explained by peculiarities of the experimental systems and illustrated by three mechanisms. More versatile reaction mechanisms were reported by authors who used oxygen plasma for surface modification of PVDF, while plasma sustained in other gases was rarely used. The results reported by various authors are analyzed, and correlations are drawn where feasible. The processing parameters reported by different authors were the gas pressure and purity, the discharge configuration and power, while the surface finish was predominantly determined by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and static water contact angle (WCA). A reasonably good correlation was found between the surface wettability as probed by WCA and the oxygen concentration as probed by XPS, but there is hardly any correlation between the discharge parameters and the wettability.

Opis: Background: Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are the leading cause of death and disability worldwide, and their prevention is a major public health priority. Detecting health issues early and assessing risk levels can significantly improve the chances of reducing mortality. Mobile apps can help estimate and manage CVD risks by providing users with personalized feedback, education, and motivation. Incorporating visual analysis into apps is an effective method for educating society. However, the usability evaluation and inclusion of visualization of these apps are often unclear and variable. Objective: The primary objective of this study is to review and compare the usability of existing apps designed to estimate CVD risk using the mHealth App Usability Questionnaire (MAUQ). This is not a traditional usability study involving user interaction design, but rather an assessment of how effectively these applications meet usability standards as defined by the MAUQ. Methods: First, we used predefined criteria to review 16 out of 2238 apps to estimate CVD risk in the Google Play Store and the Apple App Store. Based on the apps' characteristics (ie, developed for health care professionals or patient use) and their functions (single or multiple CVD risk calculators), we conducted a descriptive analysis. Then we also compared the usability of existing apps using the MAUQ and calculated the agreement among 3 expert raters. Results: Most apps used the Framingham Risk Score (8/16, 50%) and Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Disease Risk (7/16, 44%) prognostic models to estimate CVD risk. The app with the highest overall MAUQ score was the MDCalc Medical Calculator (mean 6.76, SD 0.25), and the lowest overall MAUQ score was obtained for the CardioRisk Calculator (mean 3.96, SD 0.21). The app with the highest overall MAUQ score in the "ease-of-use" domain was the MDCalc Medical Calculator (mean 7, SD 0); in the domain "interface and satisfaction," it was the MDCalc Medical Calculator (mean 6.67, SD 0.33); and in the domain "usefulness," it was the ASCVD Risk Estimator Plus (mean 6.80, SD 0.32). Conclusions: We found that the Framingham Risk Score is the most widely used prognostic model in apps for estimating CVD risk. The "ease-of-use" domain received the highest ratings. While more than half of the apps were suitable for both health care professionals and patients, only a few offered sophisticated visualizations for assessing CVD risk. Less than a quarter of the apps included visualizations, and those that did were single calculators. Our analysis of apps showed that they are an appropriate tool for estimating CVD risk.
