躁鬱症患者自我健康管理應用電子資訊產品設計之研究

Abstract

近年來，有關精神疾病的報導已常見於新聞的版面上，而躁鬱症更是常被討論的一項精神疾患名詞。許多和自殺事件新聞有關的報導，多數與躁鬱症有關。但是，是否每位躁鬱症患者，都會步上自殺的絕境呢？其實不然！為了讓更多關心精神疾病的人有正確的認識與了解，並且破除一些傳統的刻板印象與看法。本研究藉由個案的歷程探討與分享、醫療人員的訪談及問卷調查了解個案在恢復期間有哪些方面的需求(急性期的個案通常需要住院觀察，所以不納入此研究範圍)。如：醫療人員在看診過程中，需要得知個案的哪些狀況項目；關心個案的親友，可以獲得多少的了解，以減輕他們的擔心；個案也可藉此提高自身的病識感，做好自我健康管理，已達恢復情緒穩定的目的。 本研究針對協助精神疾病患者於日常建康管理上的需求，深入研究調查及進行產品設計的規劃；藉現代科技進步之賜，期盼將網路化電子資訊產品應用於精神疾病患者的自我健康管理上。藉研究過程調查、探討，發展出成為個案日常情緒狀況的記錄，亦可作為醫療人員、親友及個案之間聯絡橋樑的電子資訊產品。更希望一般大眾於認知上，對精神疾病患者有更深入的了解，避免錯誤的烙印，且對精神疾病患者及親友帶來誤解與傷害。並希望這樣的研究成果，能讓一般大眾更重視醫療聯絡網路與提升自我健康管理的能力。 本研究發現此一電子資訊產品之管理規劃設計，除了應用在躁鬱症患者身上，亦可以應用在其他慢性疾病患者的各類自我健康管理上。In recent years, the reports about psychiatric diseases are often seen on newspapers. Anxiety is what we often discuss among all the psychiatric diseases. In many news reports suicides have something to do with anxiety. But, is every anxiety case will lead to suicide ? The answer is｀ No！'.This report will give those who care about psychiatric patients more correct understanding on psychiatric diseases and will change some traditional stereotype and ideas. Through discussions on case studies, interviews with medical staff and surveys we come to understand patients' needs during the course of recovery.（Patients with acute conditions need to be hospitalized and are therefore not discussed in this report. ）Psychiatric patients' needs include what information medical staff need to get during treatments and what facts should be conveyed to friends and family of the patients in order to reduce their worry. Patients thus will have high ill-feeling, and they will do good on their self-health management in order to recover from their illnesses. This research investigates and plans for the product design based on the needs of the users. Thanks to the development of modern technology, we apply the products of electronic information to the self-health management of patients with mental illnesses. We hope the invention of the product can be a bridge among medical staff, relatives, friends, and patients themselves. We also hope that people can have more understanding about patients with mental illnesses and get rid of the harmful our society has on patients with mental illnesses , their friends and family. We hope this research can integrate medical skills with the product to establish a good network and to help put more emphasis on their self-health management. It is discovered that the self-health management of the product design can not only apply to patients with mental illnesses, but also seem to chronic disease.
