Summary
This summary is machine-generated.Telerehabilitation uses technology to support cystic fibrosis care in children and adolescents, focusing on exercise and symptom management. This review highlights the potential of information and communication technologies in improving therapeutic adherence.
Area Of Science
- Pediatric Pulmonology
- Rehabilitation Medicine
- Health Informatics
Background
- Cystic fibrosis (CF) necessitates consistent healthcare monitoring and interventions.
- Patient adherence to prescribed therapeutic measures in CF remains suboptimal.
- Telehealth models offer potential for remote care delivery, yet telerehabilitation studies in CF are limited.
Purpose Of The Study
- To systematically identify rehabilitation intervention domains facilitated by information and communication technologies (ICTs) for pediatric and adolescent CF patients.
- To examine the implementation strategies of ICT-mediated rehabilitation in CF care.
Main Methods
- A scoping review was conducted following JBI methodology.
- Searches were performed across MEDLINE, CINAHL, Scopus, JBI, and Web of Science databases, supplemented by reference list analysis and grey literature checks.
- Inclusion criteria focused on children/adolescents with CF and ICT-mediated rehabilitation interventions.
Main Results
- Five studies were included, revealing interventions in physical exercise programs (60%), therapeutic regimen management (40%), and symptom control (40%).
- ICTs utilized comprised web-based platforms, video games, and telephones.
- Telerehabilitation incorporated in-person sessions for exercise supervision, response monitoring, and safety training, with parental/caregiver involvement in all cases.
Conclusions
- Information and communication technologies are being integrated into telerehabilitation for pediatric and adolescent cystic fibrosis care.
- Key intervention areas include physical exercise, regimen adherence, and symptom management.
- Parental/caregiver supervision is crucial for effective and safe home-based telerehabilitation in CF.
