The outbreak of Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) seriously affects humans' health worldwide physically and mentally. Studies revealed that the prevalence of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) increased under this condition. PTSD can change the structure of patients' central nervous system, and increase the risk of anxiety or depression, thus greatly affecting the quality of patients' life and their families. PTSD is preventable, and the effects of early prevention are better. Non-drug intervention can prevent or reduce the psychological sequelae after hospitalization, help patients understand the experience during hospitalization, and be beneficial to their psychological rehabilitation. Whether smartphone app based intervention can be an alternative therapy for PTSD in terms of COVID-19 convalescent patients is still controversial. Therefore, we conducted a meta-analysis and systematic review to evaluate the effects of smartphone app based intervention on PTSD in COVID-19 convalescent patients, so as to provide some guidance for clinical application.
The literatures that are related to the smartphone app based intervention and PTSD in COVID-19 convalescent patients from inception to February 2021 will be searched. The following databases are our focused areas: ClinicalTrials.gov, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials repositories, PubMed, EmBase, and Web of Science databases. According to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, 2 investigators would independently screen the literature extract data and evaluate the risk of bias in the included studies. Meta-analysis was performed with RevMan5.3 software.
The results of this meta-analysis will be submitted to a peer-reviewed journal for publication.
The conclusion of our study could provide evidence for the judgment of whether smartphone app based intervention is an effective intervention on PTSD in COVID-19 convalescent patients.

2019 年冠状病毒病（COVID-19）的爆发严重影响了全世界人类的身心健康。研究表明，在此情况下创伤后应激障碍（PTSD）的患病率增加。PTSD 可改变患者中枢神经系统的结构，并增加焦虑或抑郁的风险，从而极大地影响患者及其家属的生活质量。PTSD 是可预防的，早期预防效果更好。非药物干预可以预防或减少住院后的心理后遗症，帮助患者了解住院期间的经历，有利于其心理康复。智能手机应用程序干预是否可以成为 COVID-19 康复患者 PTSD 的替代疗法仍存在争议。因此，我们进行了一项荟萃分析和系统评价，以评估智能手机应用程序干预对 COVID-19 康复患者 PTSD 的影响，以期为临床应用提供一些指导。
从开始到 2021 年 2 月，我们将搜索与智能手机应用程序干预和 COVID-19 康复患者 PTSD 相关的文献。我们的重点领域包括：ClinicalTrials.gov、Cochrane 中央对照试验注册库、PubMed、Embase 和 Web of Science 数据库。根据纳入和排除标准，两名研究人员将独立筛选文献提取数据并评估纳入研究的偏倚风险。使用 RevMan5.3 软件进行荟萃分析。
本荟萃分析的结果将提交给同行评议的期刊发表。
我们的研究结论可以为判断智能手机应用程序干预是否是 COVID-19 康复患者 PTSD 的有效干预措施提供依据。
