Abstract

Background

Habitual engagement in physical activity is recommended as a self-management measure for many chronic diseases. However, physical inactivity remains prevalent among adults with such conditions, in some cases, due to challenges related to physical functioning and mobility. With the advent of electric mobility, e-bikes may provide an opportunity for regular physical activity during transport, with the support of electrical assistance activated by pedalling.

Methods

Guided by the methodological framework of the Joanna Briggs Institute, a scoping review was conducted to explore the extent of existing literature reporting the determinants and potential impacts of e-biking among adults with chronic conditions. Articles published from January 2000 to June 2024 were systematically searched using MEDLINE, APA PsycINFO, CINAHL, Scopus, and Web of Science databases and underwent two-tiered screening by two independent reviewers. The evidence synthesis process included a descriptive numerical analysis and a basic qualitative content analysis.

Results

Of the 1042 articles identified in the database search, eight were included in the scoping review. Engagement in e-biking was found to be influenced by various individual, social, and environmental factors. Consequently, this led to physical, psychological, behavioural, and social impacts.

Conclusion

Current studies involving adults with chronic diseases present unique insights regarding the determinants and impacts of e-biking. Developing this evidence base further would be valuable for individuals living with chronic conditions, health professionals and policymakers, to understand the potential for e-biking as a form of physically active transport. Further research is recommended to expand the diversity of populations and contexts represented in this literature.

成人慢性病患者骑电动自行车的决定因素和影响：范围综述

研究背景：习惯性参加体育活动被推荐为许多慢性疾病的自我管理措施。然而，在患有这种疾病的成年人中，缺乏身体活动仍然普遍存在，在某些情况下，这是由于与身体功能和行动能力有关的挑战。随着电动交通的出现，电动自行车可能会在运输过程中提供定期体育活动的机会，在踏板启动的电力辅助的支持下。方法在乔安娜布里格斯研究所的方法框架的指导下，进行了一次范围审查，以探索现有文献报道的范围，这些文献报道了慢性疾病成年人中电动自行车的决定因素和潜在影响。2000年1月至2024年6月发表的文章系统地检索了MEDLINE、APA PsycINFO、CINAHL、Scopus和Web of Science数据库，并由两名独立审稿人进行了两层筛选。证据综合过程包括描述性数值分析和基本定性内容分析。结果在数据库检索中确定的1042篇文章中，有8篇被纳入范围评价。研究发现，人们对电动自行车的参与受到各种个人、社会和环境因素的影响。因此，这导致了身体、心理、行为和社会影响。目前针对成人慢性疾病的研究对电动自行车的决定因素和影响提供了独特的见解。进一步发展这一证据基础，对于慢性病患者、卫生专业人员和政策制定者来说，了解电动自行车作为一种体力活动交通方式的潜力是很有价值的。建议进一步研究以扩大本文献中所代表的人口和环境的多样性。
