Social Foundations of Self IV: Self in Digital Communication01:30

Social Foundations of Self IV: Self in Digital Communication

Since the early 2000s, computer-mediated communication (CMC) has grown rapidly, playing a crucial role in self-development. A key distinction between CMC and real-life interactions is the lack of a physically present partner. This absence makes non-verbal cues such as facial expressions, body language, and paralinguistic signals unavailable in CMC platforms like email, instant messaging, or social media. The lack of these cues can create ambiguity and complicate how feedback is interpreted.The...

Issues And Trends In Healthcare Delivery System

The issues and trends in healthcare delivery are constantly changing. The COVID-19 pandemic is one recent issue that wreaked havoc on healthcare systems, causing a shortage of healthcare workers, high demand for medicines and supplies, and increased medical expenditure due to a lack of insurance. Other issues include rising healthcare costs and care fragmentation.
Cost Containment
Payment for healthcare services has historically promoted adoption of costly and often unnecessary or inefficient...

Current Trends in Nursing II

Trends in nursing are multifactorial and associated with changes in society, within the nursing profession, and in other professions. Notably, telehealth and remote nursing contribute to successful healthcare delivery for numerous patients and help reduce stress for nurses due to nursing shortages. Nurses can reach patients, monitor their conditions, and interact with them using computers, audio, visual accessories, and telephones—for example, remote patient monitoring systems. Likewise,...
Community Based Intervention01:30

Community Based Intervention

Community-based interventions in mental health represent a paradigm shift from institution-centered care to treatments embedded within the fabric of local communities. By prioritizing inclusion and leveraging existing societal structures, this approach fosters a supportive environment conducive to addressing mental health challenges while promoting individual dignity and agency.
Foundations of Community Mental Health Programs
Central to the success of community-based interventions is the...
Methods Of Healthcare Delivery System01:26

Methods Of Healthcare Delivery System

At the different levels of the healthcare system, we see varying methods of healthcare used. These methods include managed care systems, case management, and primary healthcare.
Managed Care System:
The managed care system is designed to control the cost while maintaining the quality of care. The patient's care from admission to discharge is planned by the primary care provider or the case manager, also known as the gatekeeper. In a managed care system, the number of care providers is limited...
Levels of Health Promotion and Illness Prevention01:26

Levels of Health Promotion and Illness Prevention

Health promotion allows a person to control the determinants of health, resulting in an improved health status. It enhances the quality of life and reduces premature deaths. Health promotion and illness prevention programs help people make beneficial choices to reduce the risk of disease and disabilities. There are three health promotion and illness prevention levels: primary, secondary, and tertiary prevention.
In primary prevention, actions taken before disease onset prevent the disease from...

Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Digital Health
  • Health Services Research

Background:

  • Digital Social Prescribing (DSP) integrates technology into social prescribing to address social determinants of health (SDOH).
  • Conceptual inconsistencies and lack of theoretical clarity hinder DSP's systematic application and evaluation.
  • Addressing these gaps is crucial for advancing public health and nursing practices.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To clarify the definition of digital social prescribing (DSP).
  • To differentiate DSP from traditional social prescribing.
  • To identify the core characteristics of DSP through systematic concept analysis.

Main Methods:

  • Adopted the Walker and Avant concept analysis framework.
  • Conducted comprehensive literature searches across multiple databases (PubMed, CINAHL, PsycArticles, Scopus, Web of Science, Embase, IEEE Xplore, ACM Digital Library).
  • Included 30 relevant articles in the analysis, following eight established steps.

Main Results:

  • Defined DSP as a multidimensional public health model, not just a technological tool.
  • Identified five defining attributes: technology use, non-clinical services, personalized plans, community resources, and cross-sector collaboration.
  • Outlined antecedents (drivers, limitations, enablers) and consequences (outcomes, delivery, equity), noting challenges like digital exclusion and data governance.

Conclusions:

  • Provided a comprehensive conceptual framework for DSP, resolving ambiguities and clarifying theoretical boundaries.
  • Highlighted critical challenges in DSP implementation: digital exclusion, data governance, gender, and ethnic disparities.
  • Emphasized the need for standardized evaluation frameworks to guide future research, practice, and policy for sustainable and equitable DSP implementation.
