Technology is rapidly advancing and becoming a cost effective option for intervention delivery particularly for isolated and hard to reach populations, such as people living with HIV/AIDS. A systematic review was conducted to identify recent technology based interventions for people living with HIV. The review yielded 12 studies that were grouped by the health behavior that it addressed and then the type of technology utilized. The majority of studies reviewed focused on medication adherence and used several different technologies to deliver the intervention including SMS/text messaging, cell phones and computers. This review identified several gaps in the literature particularly the lack of technology-based interventions focusing on engagement and retention to care as well as sexual risk reduction. Suggestions for future research based on these findings are provided.
技术正在迅速发展,成为干预措施实施的一种具有成本效益的选择,特别是对于那些生活在偏远和难以到达地区的人群,如艾滋病病毒感染者和艾滋病患者。进行了一项系统评价,以确定针对艾滋病病毒感染者的最新技术为基础的干预措施。该综述共纳入了 12 项研究,这些研究按所解决的健康行为和所使用的技术类型进行分组。综述中大多数研究都集中在药物依从性上,并使用了几种不同的技术来提供干预,包括短信/文本消息、手机和电脑。本综述发现文献中有几个空白,特别是缺乏以技术为基础的干预措施,重点是参与和保留护理以及减少性风险。根据这些发现,提出了未来研究的建议。
