Use of and Satisfaction With Mobile Health Education During the COVID-19 Pandemic in Thailand: Cross-sectional Study.

Background: RamaCovid is a mobile health (mHealth) education system that provides the Thai population with information about COVID-19 and self-risk assessment.

An Analysis and Evaluation of the Information-Motivation-Behavioral Skills (IMB) Model for Antiretroviral Therapy.

We use Fawcett and DeSanto-Madeya's framework to critique Fisher and Fisher's information-motivation-behavioral skills model and determine its usefulness and applicability for nursing. Our analysis and evaluation show that the model is a parsimonious and useful situation-specific theory for guiding nursing research and practice because it shows good fit with the nursing context, has social and theoretical significance, and exhibits empirical and pragmatic adequacy. More consistency in using terms referring to each concept would help to improve the model's internal consistency.
