Abstract:
Objective:To analyze the current application of the Theoretical Domains Framework (TDF) in implementation science research within the field of pediatric public health and to provide a reference for future research in this area.Methods:A systematic literature search was conducted in China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Wanfang Data, VIP, China Biology Medicine disc, PubMed, EBSCO, Web of Science, and Embase databases to identify studies related to the application of TDF in pediatric public health. The search period was from the inception of each database to January 30, 2025. Two researchers independently screened the literature, extracted relevant data, and performed qualitative analysis and summary.Results:A total of 83 studies were included in the synthesis. The number of publications applying TDF in pediatric public health has shown an upward trend from 2013 to 2022, with a slight decline after 2022. The primary countries contributing to this research were the United Kingdom, Australia. Common research designs included qualitative studies hybridization studies and randomized controlled trials. Research topics mainly focused on dietary management, physical activity, and children's healthcare. The most frequently integrated theoretical model alongside TDF was the Capability, Opportunity, Motivation-Behavior (COM-B) model.Conclusions:The application of TDF in pediatric public health implementation science research is wide-ranging and involves diverse study designs. Its multidisciplinary integration provides a comprehensive and solid theoretical foundation for healthcare professionals conducting implementation research.
