Abstract
Background: Pregnancy is a special time for women that involves substantial emotional, physical, social, and family changes, which can lead to physical and psychological harm. The rapid development of e-health has provided a favourable platform for managing health-related outcomes in pregnant women, and nurses are the professional group that is most likely to provide e-health services. Nurse-led e-health interventions have attracted increasing attention, but their effects are uncertain.
Objective: To identify the effectiveness of nurse-led e-health interventions in improving health-related outcomes in pregnant women.
Design: A systematic review.
Data sources: The PubMed, PsycINFO, EMBASE, CINAHL, ProQuest, MEDLINE, Scopus, Web of Science and Cochrane Library databases were searched from inception to March 2023.
Methods: Two reviewers independently assessed study eligibility and extracted data. The Cochrane risk of bias tool was used for quality assessment. The findings of this review are presented using a narrative synthesis.
Results: This review included 14 studies involving 2016 participants. Three out of five studies reported that nurse-led e-health interventions significantly reduced depressive symptoms. Four studies reported significant improvements in stress and self-efficacy after the intervention. Two studies reported significant improvements in anxiety symptoms, self-management ability, and quality of life after the intervention. One study showed that weight gain and physical activity significantly improved after the intervention. Due to the heterogeneity in the included studies, no meta-analysis was conducted.
Conclusions: Nurse-led e-health interventions may be beneficial for improving anxiety symptoms, depressive symptoms, stress, self-efficacy, weight gain, self-management ability, physical activity, and quality of life in pregnant women.
Relevance to clinical practice: Nurse-led e-health interventions could provide individualised, economic, interactive, and convenient nursing modes for pregnant women. Rigorous and high-quality evidence confirming the long-term effects of these interventions on pregnant women is necessary.
No patient or public contribution: The patients had no direct involvement in the present study.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Clinical Nursing (JCN) is an international, peer reviewed, scientific journal that seeks to promote the development and exchange of knowledge that is directly relevant to all spheres of nursing practice. The primary aim is to promote a high standard of clinically related scholarship which advances and supports the practice and discipline of nursing. The Journal also aims to promote the international exchange of ideas and experience that draws from the different cultures in which practice takes place. Further, JCN seeks to enrich insight into clinical need and the implications for nursing intervention and models of service delivery. Emphasis is placed on promoting critical debate on the art and science of nursing practice.
JCN is essential reading for anyone involved in nursing practice, whether clinicians, researchers, educators, managers, policy makers, or students. The development of clinical practice and the changing patterns of inter-professional working are also central to JCN''s scope of interest. Contributions are welcomed from other health professionals on issues that have a direct impact on nursing practice.
We publish high quality papers from across the methodological spectrum that make an important and novel contribution to the field of clinical nursing (regardless of where care is provided), and which demonstrate clinical application and international relevance.
