| description | Background and Aim: Kidney transplantation is the most effective therapeutic option for improving the quality of life in the patients with end-stage renal disease. Due to the importance of preserving the transplanted organ function, transplant recipients should follow certain self-care practices after transplantation. Increasing use of electronic health (eHealth) can provide useful solutions in this field. The aim of this study was to review published articles on e-Health in kidney transplant recipients.
Materials and Methods: We searched Google Scholar for English articles, and, Scientific Information Database, and Magiran for Persian sources.
Results: After screening more than 434 articles, 14 were included in the study based on the predefined criteria. USA with 6 articles had the highest number of publications. Based on the methods, the papers were divided into three categories. The first group which was consisted of interventional studies (6 papers), used mobile applications, portals, televisit, educational programs, or a combination of them. In the second group, reports of one of the methods of e-Health were included (2 studies). The third group was consisted of cross-sectional or qualitative studies that aimed to investigate different people's perspectives about e-Health (6 studies).
Conclusion: Considering the positive findings of the interventional studies and the diversity of e-Health methods, there is still a long way to evaluate the sustainability, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness of these interventions. |
