Abstract

Background: Assistive technology (AT) refers to assistive products (AP) and associated systems and services that are relevant for function, independence, well-being, and quality of life for individuals with disabilities. There is a high unmet need for AT for persons with disabilities and this is worse for persons with cognitive and mental or psychosocial disabilities (PDs). Further, information and knowledge on AT for PDs is limited.

Objective: The aim of this review was to explore the pattern of AT use among persons with PDs and its associated socioeconomic and health benefits.

Methods: The review was reported according to the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses), and we conducted systematic searches in the 4 databases: PubMed, Embase.com, APA PsycInfo (Ebsco), and Web of Science (Core Collection) with the following index terms: "Assistive Technology," "Self-Help Devices," "Quality of Life," "Activities of Daily Living," "Mental Disorders." We included only AT individuals with PDs can independently use without reliance on a provider. Identified papers were exported to EndNote (Clarivate) and we undertook a narrative synthesis of the included studies.

Results: In total, 5 studies were included in the review which reported use of different AT for schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, depression and anxiety disorders. The APs described in the included studies are Palm tungsten T3 handheld computer, MOBUS, personal digital assistant, automated pill cap, weighted chain blankets, and smartphone function. All the AT products identified in the studies were found to be easily usable by individuals with PDs. The APs reported in the included studies have broad impact and influence on social function, productivity, and treatment or management. The studies were heterogeneous and were all conducted in high-income countries.

Conclusions: Our study contributes to and strengthens existing evidence on the relevance of AT for PDs and its potential to support socioeconomic participation and health. Although AT has the potential to improve function and participation for individuals with PDs; this review highlights that research on the subject is limited. Further research and health policy changes are needed to improve research and AT service provision for individuals with PDs especially in low-income settings.

社会心理残疾者使用辅助技术:系统回顾。
背景:辅助技术(AT)是指与残疾人的功能、独立性、福祉和生活质量相关的辅助产品(AP)和相关系统和服务。残疾人对辅助治疗的需求未得到充分满足,而对于认知和精神或社会心理残疾者来说,情况更糟。此外,关于pd的AT的信息和知识有限。目的:本综述的目的是探讨pd患者使用AT的模式及其相关的社会经济和健康效益。方法:根据PRISMA(系统评价和荟萃分析首选报告项目)进行综述,并在PubMed, Embase.com, APA PsycInfo (Ebsco)和Web of Science(核心集合)4个数据库中进行系统检索,索引词为:“辅助技术”,“自助设备”,“生活质量”,“日常生活活动”,“精神障碍”。我们只包括具有pd的AT个人,他们可以独立使用pd而不依赖于提供商。确定的论文被输出到EndNote (Clarivate),我们对纳入的研究进行了叙述性综合。结果:本综述共纳入5项研究,报告了不同AT治疗精神分裂症、双相情感障碍、抑郁症和焦虑症的使用情况。纳入研究中描述的ap包括Palm钨T3掌上电脑、MOBUS、个人数字助理、自动药盖、加权链毯和智能手机功能。研究中确定的所有AT产品都被发现易于pd患者使用。纳入的研究中报告的ap具有广泛的影响和影响社会功能,生产力和治疗或管理。这些研究具有异质性,而且都是在高收入国家进行的。结论:我们的研究有助于并加强现有的证据,证明AT与pd的相关性及其支持社会经济参与和健康的潜力。虽然AT有可能改善pd患者的功能和参与;这篇综述强调了关于这一主题的研究是有限的。需要进一步的研究和卫生政策改革,以改善为pd患者提供的研究和辅助治疗服务,特别是在低收入环境中。试验注册:PROSPERO CRD42022343735;https://www.crd.york.ac.uk/prospero/display_record.php?RecordID=343735。
