Abstract

The purpose of this study was to develop an application(app) on smoking cessation for patients with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection and evaluate its usability. A methodological study design was applied. The program contents were developed by expert panel based on the theory of planned behavior, HIV infection, and smoking cessation and usability evaluation and then the application was developed by IT experts following usability testing composed of heuristic evaluation by 3 mobile experts and users evaluation was conducted using surveys and interviews by 10 individuals with HIV infection. Descriptive statistics and contents analysis were computed to evaluated the collected data. All participants were male and their age were ranged from 40s to 60s. The average of app usability was 4.2. The participants experienced no difficulties and responded somewhat satisfaction. The results showed that the app was feasible and useful on smoking cessation for HIV patients and could be used as an valid approach.

본 연구는 인간면역결핍바이러스(HIV) 감염인의 금연을 위한 융합프로그램 앱을 개발하고 그 사용성을 평가한 방법론적 연구이다. 본 프로그램은 계획된 행위이론, HIV 감염 및 금연분야의 전문가팀에 의해 개발된 후 휴리스틱 평가와 사용자 평가로 구성된 사용성 평가를 통해 최종 완성되었다. 휴리스틱 평가는 구조화된 설문지를 사용하여 세 명의 모바일 전문가에 의해 시행되었고, 확인된 문제는 개선되었다. 사용자 평가는 HIV 감염인 10명을 대상으로 설문조사와 인터뷰를 통해 시행되었고, 수집된 자료는 기술통계 및 내용분석을 통해 분석하였다. 모든 참가자는 남성이었고 연령은 40대에서 60대였으며 앱 유용성에 대한 평가는 4.2로 나타났다. 대부분의 참가자는 프로그램을 사용하는 데 어려움을 겪지 않았으며 만족스럽다고 응답하였다. 본 연구결과는 HIV 감염인의 금연을 위해 개발된 이론기반 융합프로그램 앱이 HIV 감염인에게 사용가능하고 유용하며 HIV 감염인의 금연을 위한 타당한 전략으로 사용될 수 있음을 보여주었다.
