The integration of mobile devices has revolutionized various aspects of modern life, including education and healthcare. In the field of health profession education, the adoption of mobile devices has emerged as a transformative force, reshaping the learning landscape for aspiring healthcare professionals. This present review of literature reviews aims to explore the impact of mobile device learning in the health profession domain regarding benefits and limitations.
This extensive review of literature reviews followed the PRISMA-ScR guidelines (2020).
The results of this study indicated that mobile device learning is associated with positive outcomes in health professional education. Findings revealed that mobile devices are effective tools in enhancing knowledge, skills, attitudes, and satisfaction among health profession students and professionals. Mobile devices are advantageous in a number of areas, including research and collaboration, administrative tasks, teaching and learning, financial advantages, and clinical and practical applications. However, the lack of professionalism, breaches of data privacy and security, hardware and software limitations, technical issues, financial limitations, restrictive social and cultural norms, the lack of institutional support, and inadequate training are the limitations associated with mobile device learning.
Using mobile devices for academic and clinical learning can bring a variety of advantages. However, due to technological limitations, these devices cannot be the full replacement for traditional education.

本次广泛的文献综述遵循PRISMA-ScR指南（2020年）。
本研究结果表明，移动设备学习与卫生专业教育的积极成果相关。研究结果显示，移动设备是提高卫生专业学生和专业人员的知识、技能、态度和满意度的有效工具。移动设备在多个领域具有优势，包括研究与协作、行政任务、教学与学习、财务优势以及临床和实际应用。然而，缺乏专业性、数据隐私和安全漏洞、硬件和软件限制、技术问题、财务限制、限制性的社会和文化规范、缺乏机构支持以及培训不足是与移动设备学习相关的局限性。
使用移动设备进行学术和临床学习可以带来多种优势。然而，由于技术限制，这些设备不能完全替代传统教育。
