Cafazzo et al. [30] 2012 mHealth app project for self-management of type 1 diabetes in adolescents: a pilot study The pilot evaluation showed that the mean daily frequency of blood glucose measurement increased by 50%. Satisfaction was high, with 88% of respondents saying they would continue using the system.

Downs et al. [37] 2006 Benefits of an education program on self-management of airway clearance treatments for children with cystic fibrosis using aerosols The intervention group increased the percentage of prescribed aerosols taken and this fact remained in the following 12 months. Children in the intervention group
they increased their knowledge and this was maintained for the next 12 months. They reported feeling more positive about their treatment immediately after the intervention. There were no significant changes between the control group for these variables over time. The positive results suggest that ‘Airways’ is a valuable educational tool for primary school-age children and their caregiver.
Klaassen et al. [29] 2018 A self-management program for children and adolescents with kidney transplantation The program was effective in creating a supportive environment for both patients and their parents in responding to health concerns.
