With the aging of the population and rising rates of chronic diseases, older adults need support if they are to adopt healthy lifestyles. Web-based interventions should be considered for this purpose, since they are easily accessed and can foster healthy lifestyles among older adults. However, the literature on such interventions discusses a variety of components and effects and provides only 2 syntheses of knowledge on web-based interventions with older adults. These studies focus on populations aged 50 years and older, whereas the components and effects of interventions for a population of older adults (ie, 65 years and older) may differ. In addition, these 2 syntheses examined only quantitative studies, although other types of studies (ie, qualitative) are available and could help advance knowledge in this field. A scoping review is therefore relevant in order to explore the extent of the literature on this subject.
The purpose of the study described by this protocol is to explore the extent of the literature (experimental, quasi-experimental, qualitative, systematic reviews, and grey literature) on the components and effects of web-based interventions as a way to promote healthy lifestyles among older adults.
The databases MEDLINE, CINAHL, PsycInfo, Web of Science, Cochrane Database of Systematic Review and Joanna Briggs Library will be searched, in addition to the grey literature using Google Scholar and OpenGrey. Studies will be selected for the review by 2 researchers, working independently. The data will be synthesized based on the conceptualization of web-based interventions (ie, behavior change techniques, dispensation modes, and theories). A thematic analysis will be performed to summarize the components of the interventions studied.
The database search will begin in August 2020 and be completed in October 2020.
This scoping review should highlight web-based interventions designed to promote healthy lifestyles, as well as their components and effects, among people aged 65 years and older. These results could provide important guidance for intervention developers and designers in identifying the components of web-based interventions relevant to older adults and lead to further studies on this topic.

随着人口老龄化和慢性病发病率的上升,老年人若要采取健康的生活方式,需要得到支持。基于网络的干预措施应为此目的加以考虑,因为它们易于获取,并且能够在老年人中促进健康的生活方式。然而,关于此类干预措施的文献讨论了各种各样的组成部分和效果,并且仅提供了2篇关于针对老年人的基于网络的干预措施的知识综述。这些研究聚焦于50岁及以上的人群,而针对老年人群体(即65岁及以上)的干预措施的组成部分和效果可能有所不同。此外,这2篇综述仅审查了定量研究,尽管还有其他类型的研究(即定性研究)可供使用,并且可能有助于推动该领域的知识发展。因此,进行一项范围综述以探究关于该主题的文献范围是有必要的。
本方案所描述的研究目的是探究关于基于网络的干预措施的组成部分和效果的文献(实验性、准实验性、定性、系统评价和灰色文献)范围,以此作为促进老年人健康生活方式的一种手段。
除了使用谷歌学术和OpenGrey检索灰色文献外,还将检索MEDLINE、CINAHL、PsycInfo、科学引文索引、Cochrane系统评价数据库和乔安娜·布里格斯图书馆等数据库。将由2名研究人员独立进行文献筛选以纳入综述。数据将基于基于网络的干预措施的概念化(即行为改变技术、发放模式和理论)进行综合。将进行主题分析以总结所研究干预措施的组成部分。
数据库检索将于2020年8月开始,并于2020年10月完成。
这项范围综述应突出旨在促进65岁及以上人群健康生活方式的基于网络的干预措施及其组成部分和效果。这些结果可为干预措施开发者和设计者确定与老年人相关的基于网络的干预措施的组成部分提供重要指导,并引发关于该主题的进一步研究。
