Integration of healthcare services for preterm neonates at home and hospital by mobile technology is an economical and convenient intervention, which is being increasingly applied worldwide. We aimed to classify the outcomes of mobile applications tailored to parents of premature infants.
This systematic review was conducted by searching the six main databases until May 2021. Mobile applications tailored to parents of premature infants and the reported outcomes of this technology were identified and classified. Quality of screened articles checked by MMAT tool.
Overall, 10703 articles were retrieved, and after eliminating the duplicated articles, 9 articles were reviewed ultimately. Identified outcomes were categorized into three groups parental, application, and neonatal outcomes. In the parental outcomes, maternal stress/stress coping, parenting self-efficacy, satisfaction, anxiety, partnership advocacy/improved parent-infant relationship, feeling of being safe, reassurance and confidence, increase awareness, as well as discharge preparedness, were identified. In the application outcomes, application usage, ease of use/user-friendly, and usability of the designed application were placed. Finally, the neonatal outcomes include health and clinical items.
Mobile applications can be useful in prematurity for educating pregnant mothers, managing stress and anxiety, supporting families, and preparing for discharge. Moreover, due to the coronavirus condition, providing remote services for parents is an appropriate solution to reduce the in-person visits to neonatal care centers. Development of tailored apps can promote the neonates' health and reduce their parents' stress.
通过移动技术整合家庭和医院针对早产儿的医疗服务是一种经济便捷的干预措施，正在全球范围内得到越来越广泛的应用。我们旨在对为早产儿父母量身定制的移动应用程序的效果进行分类。
通过检索六个主要数据库进行本系统评价，直至2021年5月。识别并分类为早产儿父母量身定制的移动应用程序及其报告的技术效果。使用MMAT工具检查筛选文章的质量。
共检索到10703篇文章，剔除重复文章后，最终纳入9篇进行综述。确定的结果分为三类：父母相关结果、应用程序相关结果和新生儿相关结果。在父母相关结果中，识别出了母亲的压力/压力应对、育儿自我效能感、满意度、焦虑、伙伴关系倡导/改善亲子关系、安全感、安心和信心、意识提高以及出院准备情况。在应用程序相关结果中，列出了应用程序的使用情况、易用性/用户友好性以及设计应用程序的可用性。最后，新生儿相关结果包括健康和临床项目。
移动应用程序在早产方面可用于教育孕妇、管理压力和焦虑、支持家庭以及为出院做准备。此外，由于冠状病毒疫情，为父母提供远程服务是减少前往新生儿护理中心面对面就诊的合适解决方案。开发量身定制的应用程序可以促进新生儿的健康并减轻其父母的压力。
