Abstract

Introduction: Self-monitoring of self-management interventions with the use of mobile health (mHealth) can enhance patients’ well-being. Research indicates that mHealth and health coaching act symbiotically to providing a more constructive outcome. Nurse coaches seem to have a significant role in translating the patients’ tracked data. Objective: The objective was to explore healthcare professionals’ experiences of an intervention offering self-management support through mHealth and health coaching for patients with prostate cancer. Methods: We used the interpretive description methodology, combining semi-structured individual and focus group interviews and participant observations of patient-coach interactions and use of mHealth in coaching sessions. The study was conducted between June 2017 and August 2020. Results: The nurse coaches experienced motivation and autonomy when possessing the right competences for coaching. Furthermore, the nurse coaches experienced conflicting expectations of their roles when having to integrate mHealth. Conclusion: The experience of being competent, autonomous, and confident is important for the nurse coaches to be mentally present during the coaching sessions. On the other hand, the findings indicate that having the sense of not being confident in one’s own ability to perform leads to reduced motivation.
