Abstract
Background and objective: With the increased adoption of digital health solutions, such as telehealth, there is a need to consider current practices and considerations towards digital health Literacy. The objective of this review is to explore what digital health literacy considerations have been detailed in cystic fibrosis telehealth papers.
Methods: The found papers published from a recent systematic review exploring telehealth within cystic fibrosis care were taken and analysed. These papers were obtained from PubMed, Web of Science, and Scopus databases and included any paper written in English up to May 2021. Data pertaining to Health Literacy, Digital Literacy/Competency, Digital Health Literacy, Training, Readiness Assessments, and Sustained Use were extrapolated using Elicit AI Research Assistant 2024.
Key content and findings: From the 26 papers, the data of interest was sparse and mostly unavailable for this review. This may be due to several reasons; however the implication of this mitigation is discussed with reference to the digital divide, health in-equalities, and safety.
Conclusions: This review highlights that a structured approach to assess digital health literacy of care teams and people with cystic fibrosis is critical to the future success of safe telehealth use, and other digital health solutions.
背景和目标:随着越来越多地采用数字保健解决方案,如远程保健,有必要考虑目前的做法和对数字保健素养的考虑。本综述的目的是探讨在囊性纤维化远程医疗论文中详细介绍的数字健康素养考虑因素。方法:对最近发表的一篇探讨囊性纤维化远程医疗护理的系统综述所发现的论文进行分析。这些论文来自PubMed、Web of Science和Scopus数据库,包括截至2021年5月的所有英文论文。有关健康素养、数字素养/能力、数字健康素养、培训、准备评估和持续使用的数据使用Elicit AI Research Assistant 2024进行外推。主要内容和发现:从26篇论文中,感兴趣的数据很少,并且大多数无法用于本综述。这可能是由于几个原因;不过,本文还就数字鸿沟、健康不平等和安全问题讨论了这种缓解的影响。结论:本综述强调,采用结构化方法评估护理团队和囊性纤维化患者的数字健康素养,对于安全远程医疗使用和其他数字健康解决方案的未来成功至关重要。
