- description
- Patients assigned to Experimental Group 1 will be administered a mobile health application. Patients will be given a pre-test of "Descriptive Information," "Information About the Illness," "Psychosocial Adjustment to the Illness-Self-Report Scale," in a room in the outpatient clinic. The mobile health application will then be introduced and downloaded to their phones. The application will be installed on the phone, and the participant will be asked to create a username and password. User registration to the mobile health application will be conducted in the presence of the researcher. Participants will be provided with a Secret Question/Secret Answer feature to access their account if their username or password is forgotten. During this process, participants will be instructed on how to use the mobile health application. Participants will be encouraged to begin using the mobile health application from the first meeting.
