Abstract

Adolescents continue to face challenges to their sexual and reproductive health (SRH) both locally and internationally. Digital technologies such as the Internet, text messaging, and social media are often viewed as valuable tools for disseminating information on SRH. Mobile health, also known as mHealth, is a medical and public health practise that uses these digital technologies to communicate information. The literature has revealed that mHealth interventions have a positive outcome in delivering SRH information to adolescents. This review aimed to synthesise empirical studies that evaluate mHealth interventions and assess the extent to which these mHealth interventions promote sexual and reproductive health outcomes among young people. This scoping review reviewed the literature across four databases, including EBSCOhost, Scopus, Proquest, and Cochrane, and included 12 articles. The findings have shown that mHealth interventions are effective in enhancing sexual and reproductive health (SRH) knowledge and attitudes among young people in both low-middle and high-income countries. However, comprehensive longitudinal studies are necessary to measure the sustainability and long-term influence of mHealth interventions on behaviour. It is recommended that with artificial intelligence (AI) improvements, there is a possible path to bolstering mHealth interventions.

摘要

青少年的性健康和生殖健康(SRH)在本地和国际上面临挑战。互联网、短信和社交媒体等数字技术通常被视为传播 SRH 信息的有价值工具。移动医疗,也称为 mHealth,是一种利用这些数字技术来传递信息的医疗和公共卫生实践。文献表明,mHealth 干预措施在向青少年提供 SRH 信息方面具有积极的效果。本综述旨在综合评估 mHealth 干预措施的实证研究,并评估这些 mHealth 干预措施在促进年轻人的性健康和生殖健康结果方面的程度。这项范围综述在四个数据库(包括 EBSCOhost、Scopus、Proquest 和 Cochrane)中检索了文献,并纳入了 12 篇文章。研究结果表明,mHealth 干预措施在提高中低收入和高收入国家青少年的性健康和生殖健康(SRH)知识和态度方面是有效的。然而,需要进行全面的纵向研究来衡量 mHealth 干预措施对行为的可持续性和长期影响。随着人工智能(AI)的改进,mHealth 干预措施可能会得到加强。
