The use of digital health technologies is becoming increasingly common across the globe as they offer immense potential to enhance health care delivery by promoting accessibility, flexibility, and personalized care, connecting patients to health care professionals, and offering more efficient services and treatments to remote residents. At the same time, there is an increasing recognition of how digital health can inadvertently foment psychological trauma. This phenomenon has led to the adoption of trauma-informed care in designing and deploying digital health technologies. However, how trauma-informed care is defined and characterized, and the various trauma-informed care strategies used in designing and deploying digital health technologies remain unexplored.
This scoping review aims to explore and synthesize the literature on how trauma-informed care is defined and characterized in digital health and the various trauma-informed care principles, strategies, or recommendations used in designing and deploying digital health.
This review will draw on the Joanna Briggs Institute's updated methodological guidance for scoping reviews. A search will be conducted on CINAHL, PubMed, Embase, Compendex Engineering Village, Web of Science, Scopus, and PsycINFO. This review will consider published research studies and unpublished work (gray literature). Studies will be included if they applied trauma-informed care in designing or deploying digital health for patients across all geographical locations or provide trauma-informed recommendations on how web developers should develop digital health. Studies will be limited to publications within the past 10 years and studies in all languages will be considered. Two independent reviewers will screen the titles and abstracts, and then perform a full-text review. Data will be extracted into a data extraction tool developed for this study.
The scoping review was undergoing a full search as of April 2023. The main results will synthesize the peer-reviewed and gray literature on adopting trauma-informed care practices in digital health research and development. The study is expected to be completed by December 2023 and the results are expected to be published in a peer-reviewed journal.
This review is expected to provide the knowledge base on the adoption of trauma-informed care in designing and deploying digital health. This knowledge can lead to more engaging, and likely, more effective digital health interventions that have less potential for harm. A synthesis of the various trauma-informed care strategies in digital health will also provide a trauma-informed language by enabling researchers and digital health developers to consider trauma as a critical factor in each stage of the design process.

数字健康技术在全球的应用日益普遍，因为它们具有巨大潜力，可通过提高可及性、灵活性和个性化护理，将患者与医疗保健专业人员联系起来，并为偏远地区居民提供更高效的服务和治疗，从而改善医疗服务的提供。与此同时，人们越来越认识到数字健康可能无意中引发心理创伤。这一现象促使在设计和部署数字健康技术时采用创伤知情护理。然而，创伤知情护理如何定义和表征，以及在设计和部署数字健康技术时使用的各种创伤知情护理策略仍未得到探索。
本范围综述旨在探讨和综合有关数字健康中创伤知情护理如何定义和表征，以及在设计和部署数字健康时使用的各种创伤知情护理原则、策略或建议的文献。
本综述将借鉴乔安娜·布里格斯研究所更新的范围综述方法指南。将在CINAHL、PubMed、Embase、Compendex工程村、科学网、Scopus和PsycINFO上进行检索。本综述将考虑已发表的研究和未发表的作品（灰色文献）。如果研究在为所有地理位置的患者设计或部署数字健康时应用了创伤知情护理，或就网页开发者应如何开发数字健康提供了创伤知情建议，则将其纳入。研究将限于过去10年内的出版物，并将考虑所有语言的研究。两名独立评审员将筛选标题和摘要，然后进行全文评审。数据将提取到为本研究开发的数据提取工具中。
截至2023年4月，范围综述正在进行全面检索。主要结果将综合同行评审和灰色文献中关于在数字健康研发中采用创伤知情护理实践的内容。该研究预计于2023年12月完成，结果预计将发表在同行评审期刊上。
本综述预计将提供在设计和部署数字健康时采用创伤知情护理的知识库。这些知识可带来更具吸引力且可能更有效的数字健康干预措施，减少潜在危害。综合数字健康中各种创伤知情护理策略还将提供一种创伤知情语言，使研究人员和数字健康开发者能够在设计过程的每个阶段将创伤视为关键因素。
