This literature review analyzed technological interventions in the adolescent asthmatic population. A PubMed search was performed with terms of asthma, adolescents, social media, Internet, website, mobile phone, text messaging, SMS, Facebook, Twitter, MySpace, and Technology during a 2.5-year period and identified 64 abstracts. Three studies fulfilled the criteria for adolescent intervention using Internet-based sites but did not provide evidence for effectiveness. Two studies focused on mobile technology. One study included text message reminders for controller medication use in asthma patients. Perceived usefulness, satisfaction, and ease of use of text messages were high, but there was no improvement in asthma control. The literature search did not find any studies exploring the use of smartphone applications or social media services. Current studies of technology use in adolescents with asthma do not provide consistent evidence of effectiveness. The positive attitude toward use of social media or mobile technology opens the possibility for future studies to further explore the potential benefits of such interventions.
这篇文献综述分析了针对青少年哮喘患者的技术干预措施。在为期 2.5 年的时间里，我们使用了哮喘、青少年、社交媒体、互联网、网站、手机、短信、SMS、Facebook、Twitter、MySpace 和技术等术语在 PubMed 上进行了搜索，共找到了 64 篇摘要。有 3 项研究符合基于互联网的网站进行青少年干预的标准，但没有提供有效性的证据。有 2 项研究专注于移动技术。其中一项研究包括针对哮喘患者使用控制器药物的短信提醒。短信的有用性、满意度和易用性都很高，但哮喘控制没有改善。文献搜索没有发现任何探索智能手机应用程序或社交媒体服务使用情况的研究。目前关于青少年哮喘患者使用技术的研究并没有提供一致的有效性证据。对使用社交媒体或移动技术的积极态度为未来的研究进一步探索此类干预措施的潜在益处提供了可能性。
