Scientific title | Mobile telephone text messages to encourage compliance with medication and to follow up with people with psychosis: a multi-centre randomised controlled two-armed trial |
Study acronym | Mobile.Net |
Study objectives | SMS use will reduce service use of people with serious mental illness whose use of services has been high. |
Ethics approval(s) | Ethics Committee of The Hospital District of Southwest Finland, 16/12/2010, ref: 109/180/2010 |
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studied | Psychosis |
Intervention | Intervention group will receive the SMS messages (a semi-automatic system) at out-patient care after their discharge from acute psychiatric in-patient care. The SMS messages to the patients will continue for the end of the study period or until they wish these messages to stop. The intervention will be consumer-led rather than researcher-led to increase acceptability of the prompt. Therefore, the format and frequency of the messages to be sent will be all agreed with the patient. For example, patients choose text messages content areas related to their medication and/or keeping appointments. Additionally, they can choose messages related to other daily issues (e.g. taking care of hygiene, physical exercise, nutrition, day routines, wearing, avoiding danger, communication, taking care of pets, following rules, hobbies, work or other activities, house hold, symptom management or other supporting messages). The content of the messages mentioned have been designed by patients in rehabilitative units in Finland. Patients/their career can inform the Data Manager who can change the system based on patients' wishes. In addition, patients in intervention group receive standard care with face-to-face sessions with staff. Patients in control group ('treatment as usual') receive standard care. Total duration of treatment: 12 months, total duration of follow-up: 12 months |
