Short messages service (SMS) provides a practical medium for delivering content to address patients to adherence to self-management.  The messages were designed by a panel of experts, and SMS Quality Evaluation Questionnaire was used to evaluate their quality.  In the SMS intervention, 171 patients with an average age of 55.1 years were involved, including 86 in the CG and 85 in the IG.  It was effective and feasible to carry out an SMS intervention to improve the behavioral habits of patients with chronic diseases in remote and undeveloped areas.
