Abstract

Currently, technology and mobile health applications are developing and being applied in different fields every day. Especially the use of mobile technology in many health fields offers various opportunities for the use of mobile applications in smoking, alcohol and substance use disorders, which is an important public mental health problem. The aim of this review study was to examine 16 mobile applications designed for the treatment and monitoring of smoking, alcohol and substance use. It was concluded that self-monitoring, notification and warning systems, location services, peer and expert support services were frequently used in the analyzed mobile applications. As a result of the studies, the use of mobile applications as a preventive intervention in the prevention of addiction and as an additional treatment option in addiction treatment is promising. However, this situation brings along various harms, risks and obstacles. This review of the relevant literature provides a critical update of mobile applications used in smoking, alcohol and substance use disorders. This review is expected to be an important guide for mental health professionals and mobile application designers working on addiction.

在吸烟、酒精和物质使用障碍中使用移动应用程序

目前，技术和移动医疗应用每天都在发展，并在不同领域得到应用。特别是在许多卫生领域使用移动技术，为使用移动应用程序治疗吸烟、酗酒和物质使用障碍提供了各种机会，这是一个重要的公共精神卫生问题。本综述研究的目的是检查16个用于治疗和监测吸烟、酒精和药物使用的移动应用程序。结果表明，自我监测、通知和预警系统、位置服务、同行和专家支持服务在分析的移动应用程序中被频繁使用。作为研究的结果，使用移动应用程序作为预防成瘾的预防性干预措施和成瘾治疗的额外治疗选择是有希望的。然而，这种情况也带来了各种危害、风险和障碍。对相关文献的回顾提供了用于吸烟、酒精和物质使用障碍的移动应用程序的重要更新。这篇综述有望成为心理健康专业人员和致力于成瘾的移动应用程序设计人员的重要指南。
