Abstract:
Objective:To integrate qualitative research on the experience of type 2 diabetes patients using self-management APP, so as to provide evidence support for the design and promotion of highly accepted diabetes self-management APP.Methods:This study is a Meta-synthesis. Qualitative research on experience of type 2 diabetes patients using self-management APP was retrieved through computer in China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) , WanFang, VIP, China Biology Medicine disc Literature Database, PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, Embase, CINAHL, PsycINFO, Ovid (LWW Journals) , Scopus Chinese and English databases. The retrieval time limit was from the establishment of the database to April 30, 2022. According to the quality evaluation criteria for qualitative research of the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) Evidence-Based Health Care Center, the methodology of the included article was evaluated, and the included article was integrated with the method of pooled Meta-synthesis.Results:A total of 11 articles were included, 48 research findings were extracted and summarized into 3 integration results and 14 new categories. The integration results included that self-management APP promoted patients to form continuous self-management behavior and improved physical and mental health, obstacle factors that affected patients' use of APP, and patients' suggestions for improving the function of APP.Conclusions:Patients feel the benefits of self-management APP, such as correct understanding of diabetes, disease control, and improvement of psychological status. When developing relevant APP, we should pay attention to the change of patient behavior, design the APP function based on user needs, conduct cultural adjustment, improve training and technical support, and improve its acceptance and promotion.
