- Abstract
Introduction: One of the most serious non-communicable diseases is diabetes kidney disease (DKD) which will progress to end-stage renal failure if not managed properly. Thus, the patient must be given proper educational and self-management information in managing their disease. Therefore, in line with the current trend and the convenience of using smartphones, a mobile application will be developed for this purpose. The objective of this study was to determine the main content and sub-contents for the educational and self-management features of mobile apps specifically designed for DKD patients. Methods: A modified nominal group technique (mNGT) has been used with five experts related to DKD management and two potential mobile apps consumers gathered face to face physically and virtually for about 3 hours. The e-booklet of the proposed mobile apps’ main contents and sub-contents was given to participants a week prior to mNGT meeting. Results: During the meeting, the participants generated and discussed their ideas resulting in no changes for 8 items of main content, but 4 items were added on top of the original proposed 46 sub-contents. After six days, the participant’s most voted mobile apps sub-content was “diabetes medication”, “co-morbidities medication” and “checking blood glucose at home” with a 100% score for each. Two items under the sub-contents of the patient’s data, namely “email” and “address” were rated below 70%, with scores of 65.71% and 68.57% respectively. A voting score of other items are in between 77.14% - 97.14%. All the main content and sub-content items that have been rated more than 70% will be included in the mobile apps for DKD patients. Two sub-content items that rated below 70% were removed. Conclusion: The mNGT is very useful in gathering experts and consumers to generate ideas and perform a group discussion to determine the items that qualify for inclusion in the content and sub-content of mobile apps. The individual voting and ranking finally concluded the eight items of main contents and 48 sub-content items proposed will be used for an educational and self-management mobile apps for DKD patients.
