The increase in average life expectancy, aging, and the rise in the number of people living with dementia contribute to growing interest from the scientific community. As the disease progresses, people with dementia may need help with most daily activities and need to be supervised by their carer to ensure their safety. With the help of technology, health care provides new means of self-managing health that support active aging, allowing older people and people with dementia to live independently in their homes for a longer period of time. Although some systematic reviews have revealed some of the impacts of using digital interventions in this area, a broad systematic review that examines the overall results of the effect of this intervention type is mandatory.
The aim of this review is to further investigate and understand the acceptability and barriers to using technology to monitor and manage health conditions of people living with dementia and their caregivers.
A review of systematic reviews on acceptability factors and barriers for people with dementia and caregivers was carried out. Interventions that assessed acceptability factors and barriers to the use of technology by people with dementia or their carers were included. Each potentially relevant systematic review was assessed in full text by a member of a team of external experts.
The analysis of the results will be presented in the form of a detailed table of the characteristics of the reviews included. It will also describe the technologies used and factors of acceptability and barriers to their use. The search and preliminary analysis were carried out between May 5, 2023, and August 1, 2024.
This review will play an important role as a comprehensive, evidence-based summary of the barriers and facilitators to the use of digital interventions. This review may help to establish effective policy and clinical guideline recommendations.
平均预期寿命的增加、老龄化以及痴呆症患者数量的上升，引发了科学界越来越浓厚的兴趣。随着疾病的进展，痴呆症患者在大多数日常活动中可能需要帮助，并且需要由其护理人员进行监督以确保安全。借助技术，医疗保健提供了自我管理健康的新手段，支持积极老龄化，使老年人和痴呆症患者能够在自己家中更长时间地独立生活。尽管一些系统评价揭示了在这一领域使用数字干预措施的一些影响，但必须进行一项广泛的系统评价，以审视这类干预措施效果的总体结果。
本评价的目的是进一步调查和了解使用技术监测和管理痴呆症患者及其护理人员健康状况的可接受性和障碍。
对关于痴呆症患者及其护理人员的可接受性因素和障碍的系统评价进行了综述。纳入了评估痴呆症患者或其护理人员使用技术的可接受性因素和障碍的干预措施。每项潜在相关的系统评价均由一组外部专家团队的成员进行全文评估。
结果分析将以所纳入综述的详细特征表的形式呈现。还将描述所使用的技术及其使用的可接受性因素和障碍。检索和初步分析于2023年5月5日至2024年8月1日进行。
本评价将作为对使用数字干预措施的障碍和促进因素的全面、基于证据的总结发挥重要作用。本评价可能有助于制定有效的政策和临床指南建议。
