Here, goals identify what a patient needs to achieve to understand a healthcare topic better, whereas the outcomes are the action to be performed by the patient to achieve the goal within a timeframe. For example, if the goal is to educate the patient about insulin...

Area of Science:

Digital Health
Caregiver Support
Public Health

Background:

Informal caregivers of people living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA) often experience significant stress.
African American caregivers are disproportionately affected and may benefit from targeted support interventions.

Purpose of the Study:

To assess the feasibility and acceptability of a mobile application designed to alleviate stress among African American informal caregivers of PLWHA.
To gather preliminary feedback for app refinement.

Main Methods:

A prospective mixed-methods study involving African American informal caregivers of PLWHA.
Initial qualitative interviews for feedback, followed by a 4-week feasibility trial with 30 participants using the mobile app daily.
Data collection included app usage, satisfaction surveys, and qualitative feedback.

Main Results:

The mobile app was well-utilized, particularly guided journaling, positive affirmations, and inspirational quotes modules.
High satisfaction (96.3%) was reported, with participants indicating a willingness to recommend the app.
Caregivers perceived the app as valuable for support.

Conclusions:

The mobile application is a feasible and acceptable tool for informal caregivers of PLWHA.
The app shows promise in supporting this population, though further research is needed to optimize content and confirm effectiveness in stress reduction.
