Assessing the Effectiveness of Interactive Robot-Assisted Virtual Health Coaching for Health Literacy and Disease Knowledge of Patients with Chronic Kidney Disease: Quasiexperimental Study
This study demonstrated that interactive robot-assisted eHealth coaching effectively enhanced CKD-specific disease knowledge and health literacy. Despite the challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic, which constrained sample sizes, the findings indicate that this program is a promising patient education tool in clinical nephrology. Future research should involve larger sample sizes to enhance generalizability and examine additional factors influencing effectiveness.
