Pregnant women and their unborn babies are at increased risk of complications as a result of flu, yet uptake of the flu vaccination in the UK remains low. Digital interventions have proven effectiveness in changing health behaviour, but their effectiveness in increasing flu vaccination amongst pregnant women has not been examined. This protocol details the design and methodology of a systematic review and meta-analysis, examining the effectiveness of digital interventions in increasing flu vaccination amongst pregnant women.
Bibliographic databases will be searched using appropriate search terms related to vaccination, pregnancy and flu. Randomised, non-randomised, quasi randomised controlled trials and other quantitative study designs will be eligible for inclusion, and studies will present the rate of flu vaccination amongst pregnant women of digital interventions compared to non-digital interventions, or usual care. No date or study country restrictions will be put on included studies, but studies will be published in English.
This is the first known systematic review to examine the effectiveness of digital interventions in increasing the rate of flu vaccination amongst pregnant women. This review has the potential to inform whether digital interventions are an appropriate and successful method of increasing flu vaccination amongst pregnant women, and to determine which mode of digital intervention is most effective.
This systematic review is registered on the international prospective register of systematic reviews (PROSPERO). Registration number pending.
孕妇及其未出生的婴儿因流感而面临更高的并发症风险，但英国的流感疫苗接种率仍然很低。数字干预措施已被证明在改变健康行为方面具有有效性，但它们在增加孕妇流感疫苗接种率方面的有效性尚未得到检验。本方案详细说明了一项系统评价和荟萃分析的设计和方法学，该分析旨在检查数字干预措施在增加孕妇流感疫苗接种率方面的有效性。
将使用与疫苗接种、妊娠和流感相关的适当搜索词搜索文献数据库。将纳入随机、非随机、准随机对照试验和其他定量研究设计，并将研究报告数字干预措施与非数字干预措施或常规护理相比孕妇流感疫苗接种率。纳入研究不受日期或研究国家的限制，但研究将以英文发表。
这是第一个已知的系统评价，旨在检查数字干预措施在增加孕妇流感疫苗接种率方面的有效性。该综述有可能确定数字干预措施是否是增加孕妇流感疫苗接种率的一种合适且成功的方法，并确定哪种数字干预模式最有效。
