Abstract

Objective: Mobile health (mHealth) applications are scarce for children and adolescents with chronic pulmonary diseases (CPDs). This study aimed to map and describe the contents of the mHealth apps available for use in children and adolescents with CPDs.

Methods: We performed a systematic mapping review of published scientific literature in PubMed, Scopus, and Cochrane Library by February of 2023, using relevant keywords. Inclusion criteria were as follows: children aged < 18 years with CPDs; and studies published in English on mHealth apps.

Results: A total number of 353 studies were found, 9 of which met the inclusion criteria. These studies described seven mHealth apps for Android and iOS, designed either for asthma (n = 5) or for cystic fibrosis (n = 2). Five content areas were identified: education/information; pharmacological treatment; emergency; support; and non-pharmacological treatment. The studies (4, 2, and 3, respectively) showed consistent findings using qualitative, quantitative, and mixed methodologies.

Conclusions: This mapping review provided a guided selection of the most appropriate mHealth apps for use in children and adolescents with CPDs based on the needs of each target population. However, these mHealth apps have limited capabilities to reinforce disease self-management and provide information related to treatment compliance.

为儿童和青少年慢性肺病自我管理而设计的移动健康应用程序：一项系统绘图综述。

目的：移动健康（mHealth）在患有慢性肺病（CPD）的儿童和青少年中的应用很少。本研究旨在绘制和描述可用于CPD儿童和青少年的mHealth应用程序的内容。方法：我们使用相关关键词，对截至2023年2月在PubMed、Scopus和Cochrane图书馆发表的科学文献进行了系统的制图审查。纳入标准如下：18岁以下CPD儿童；以及在mHealth应用程序上以英语发表的研究。结果：共发现353项研究，其中9项符合纳入标准。这些研究描述了七款适用于Android和iOS的mHealth应用程序，它们要么是为哮喘（n=5）设计的，要么是为囊性纤维化（n=2）设计的。确定了五个内容领域：教育/信息；药物治疗；突发事件支持以及非药物治疗。研究（分别为4、2和3）使用定性、定量和混合方法显示出一致的结果。结论：本次绘图审查根据每个目标人群的需求，提供了最适合CPD儿童和青少年使用的mHealth应用程序的指导选择。然而，这些mHealth应用程序在加强疾病自我管理和提供与治疗依从性相关的信息方面的能力有限。
