• TITLE: Use of Mobile Health Applications and the Self-Management of Cancer: A Gendered Approach

  AUTHORS: Rita Mano

  KEYWORDS: Cancer, Mobile Health Applications, Self-Management, Women

  ABSTRACT: The growing use of mobile health applications for health purposes increased the expectations about their effectiveness. The study examines the effectiveness of mobile health applications on the self-management behaviors of 168 individuals diagnosed with cancer. The results of a secondary analysis indicate that using extensively mobile health applications significantly increases women’s health empowerment attitudes—reaching health decisions, changing their approach to health concerns, seeking additional health consultation. However, the use of mobile health applications does not increase the likelihood of adopting self-management behaviors. The study indicates that the effectiveness of mobile health applications in self-management practices is contingent upon a set of personal characteristics and the level of technology skills.
