Factors Related to Diabetes Self-Management Among Patients with Type 2 Diabetes: A Chinese Cross-Sectional Survey Based on Self-Determination Theory and Social Support Theory.
Self-management behavior (SMB) plays a significant role in glycemic control. This study aimed to explore the factors related to SMB among patients with type 2 diabetes and how these factors interacted with each other. ⋯ Self-determination theory and social support theory were practical in explaining SMB in Chinese population. Competence, motivation and social support played an important role in diabetic self-management. Paying attention to the promotion of individual's intrinsic motivation and self-efficacy may be able to help patients maintain self-management behavior in the long-term routine.

Clinical Practice Management of Primary Open-Angle Glaucoma in the United States: An Analysis of Real-World Evidence.
To investigate clinical management of primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) in the United States using real-world evidence and to examine healthcare resource utilization (HCRU), medication adherence/persistence, and procedure use. ⋯ Overall, 70% POAG patients might not have received antiglaucoma treatment. Since POAG is a slowly progressive blinding disease, the lack of antiglaucoma treatment and suboptimal adherence/persistence with medications are of major concerns. Targeted screening and educational approaches are needed to improve POAG management.

Parturients' Stated Preferences for Labor Analgesia: A Discrete Choice Experiment.
The objective was to investigate the extent to which treatment benefits, risks and costs affected parturients' preferences for labor analgesia. ⋯ Out-of-pocket cost was a major concern. Parturients prioritized having lower pain and shorter labor experience over risks associated with epidural analgesia. Parturients should be presented with realistic range of risks of side-effects so that they can decide how to balance risks against benefits and costs associated with child labor.

Demand for Mobile Health in Developing Countries During COVID-19: Vietnamese's Perspectives from Different Age Groups and Health Conditions.
Vietnam's economy and intellectual standards have witnessed significant development, improving conditions for residents to acquire novel mHealth applications. Additionally, the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic has influenced Vietnamese awareness of healthcare; however, previous studies have only been clinician-centered rather than customer-centered. ⋯ This study contributes theoretically by providing context-rich demand for Vietnamese customers across three generations and healthcare conditions during the COVID-19 pandemic and comparing their behavior with pre-COVID literature. While this research provides helpful information for potential app developers, this study also suggests that mHealth developers and policymakers should pay more attention to the differences in the demand of age groups and health conditions.
