Abstract

OBJECTIVE

Mobile health (mHealth) applications are scarce for children and adolescents with chronic pulmonary diseases (CPDs). This study aimed to map and describe the contents of the mHealth apps available for use in children and adolescents with CPDs.

METHODS

We performed a systematic mapping review of published scientific literature in PubMed, Scopus, and Cochrane Library by February of 2023, using relevant keywords. Inclusion criteria were as follows: children aged < 18 years with CPDs; and studies published in English on mHealth apps.

RESULTS

A total number of 353 studies were found, 9 of which met the inclusion criteria. These studies described seven mHealth apps for Android and iOS, designed either for asthma (n = 5) or for cystic fibrosis (n = 2). Five content areas were identified: education/information; pharmacological treatment; emergency; support; and non-pharmacological treatment. The studies (4, 2, and 3, respectively) showed consistent findings using qualitative, quantitative, and mixed methodologies.

CONCLUSIONS

This mapping review provided a guided selection of the most appropriate mHealth apps for use in children and adolescents with CPDs based on the needs of each target population. However, these mHealth apps have limited capabilities to reinforce disease self-management and provide information related to treatment compliance.

摘要

目的

针对患有慢性肺部疾病（CPD）的儿童和青少年，移动医疗（mHealth）应用程序非常匮乏。本研究旨在绘制并描述可用于 CPD 儿童和青少年的 mHealth 应用程序的内容。

方法

我们于 2023 年 2 月在 PubMed、Scopus 和 Cochrane Library 中使用相关关键词，对已发表的科学文献进行了系统的制图回顾。纳入标准如下：年龄<18 岁的患有 CPD 的儿童；以及发表在英语的关于 mHealth 应用程序的研究。

结果

共发现 353 项研究，其中 9 项符合纳入标准。这些研究描述了适用于 Android 和 iOS 的七种 mHealth 应用程序，分别设计用于哮喘（n=5）或囊性纤维化（n=2）。确定了五个内容领域：教育/信息；药物治疗；紧急情况；支持；和非药物治疗。这些研究（分别为 4、2 和 3）使用定性、定量和混合方法学得出了一致的发现。
