Aims:
To map the evidence on patient engagement in mobile technology-based rehabilitation for arthroplasty, including outcome indicators, data collection methods, assessment results, facilitators and barriers, and promoting strategies.
Design:
A scoping review.
Methods:
This study was conducted using a five-stage methodological framework, which included identifying the research questions, identifying relevant studies, selecting the studies, charting the data, and collating, summarising, and reporting the results.
Data Sources:
Ten computerised databases were searched to identify eligible studies published between January 2015 and March 2024.
Results:
Forty-seven studies were included in this review. Most studies used data on patient adherence to interventions and programme usage to indicate patient engagement in mobile arthroplasty rehabilitation. Data were primarily collected through mobile device records and online or paper-based surveys. Over half of the studies reported a high level of patient engagement in mobile arthroplasty rehabilitation. Patient engagement was influenced by individual and environmental factors, such as the design of programmes, patients' ability to engage with technology, and the accessibility and functionality of equipment. Strategies to promote patient engagement include applying user-centred design principles, offering support from healthcare professionals, caregivers, and peer patients, and employing behaviour-changing strategies.
Conclusions:
Existing studies have shown promising results in patient adherence to and use of mobile arthroplasty rehabilitation programmes. Further research can explore engaging patients in programme development, optimising outcome evaluation and data collection, identifying the mechanisms of patient engagement, and testing the effectiveness of promoting strategies.
Impact:
The study findings provide practical implications for nurses and other healthcare professionals to deepen their understanding of patient engagement in mobile arthroplasty rehabilitation. They may consider employing strategies, such as user-centred design, to enhance patient engagement in mobile rehabilitation programmes, thereby improving patient care.
Reporting Method:
This review adhered to the PRISMA-ScR checklist.
