Abstract
Purpose: To systematically review the literature on the use of computer-mediated communication (CMC) for social participation by adolescents with acquired brain injury (ABI), characterize patterns of use, perceived benefits and challenges, and existing supports for this population.
Methods: Following PRISMA guidelines, we searched seven databases (CINAHL, Ovid Medline, APA PsycINFO, Allied and Complementary Medicine Database (AMED), Embase, SpeechBITE and the Cochrane Database for Systematic Reviews) and grey literature from inception to January 2024, and hand-searched references. The PCC framework guided the inclusion of English-language articles on adolescents aged 13-18 with ABI, focusing on CMC use in community or outpatient settings. Quality of the included studies was assessed using the Critical Appraisal Skills Programme (CASP) checklists. Results were synthesized using thematic analysis.
Results: Nine studies met inclusion criteria. Thematic analysis identified five major themes: navigating adolescent ABI, the digital landscape, technology as a facilitator, leveraging CMC and parental involvement to support autonomy, and synergies for CMC within rehabilitation settings.
Conclusion: CMC can support social participation for adolescents with ABI; however, significant knowledge gaps exist regarding access barriers and effective supports. Further research is needed to develop specialized training for rehabilitation professionals to support adolescents with ABI in accessing CMC safely.
目的:系统回顾有关获得性脑损伤(ABI)青少年使用计算机媒介交流(CMC)进行社会参与的文献,描述使用模式、感知到的益处和挑战,以及对这一人群的现有支持。方法:按照PRISMA指南,检索自成立至2024年1月的7个数据库(CINAHL、Ovid Medline、APA PsycINFO、Allied and Complementary Medicine Database (AMED)、Embase、SpeechBITE和Cochrane Database for Systematic Reviews)和灰色文献,并手工检索参考文献。PCC框架指导纳入13-18岁ABI青少年的英语文章,重点关注CMC在社区或门诊环境中的使用。采用关键评估技能计划(CASP)检查表对纳入研究的质量进行评估。采用专题分析对结果进行综合。结果:9项研究符合纳入标准。专题分析确定了五个主要主题:引导青少年ABI,数字景观,技术作为促进者,利用CMC和父母参与来支持自主性,以及CMC在康复环境中的协同作用。结论:CMC可以支持ABI青少年的社会参与;然而,在获取障碍和有效支持方面存在着重大的知识差距。需要进一步研究为康复专业人员提供专门培训,以支持ABI青少年安全使用CMC。
