Abstract

|
|
Objective: The purpose of this study was to identify the diagnostic groups, evaluation tools, and intervention for improving the physical functionality of children and adolescents with impaired health through a systematic review.
Methods: This study searched for other researches published in the PubMed, CINAHL, Embase, and RISS databases from 2000 to 2014. The keywords were ¡°health impairment children OR chronic illness adolescent¡± AND ¡°cancer OR diabetes mellitus OR asthma OR juvenile idiopathic arthritis¡± AND ¡°physical exercise OR physical intervention.¡±
Results: Fifteen studies were used for the data analysis, and the evidence was from levels ¥°, ¥±, and ¥´. The subjects suffered from cancer (56.0%), diabetes mellitus (16.7%), asthma (16.7%), and juvenile idiopathic arthritis (11.1%). An aerobic training intervention (82.0%) method was most frequently used. The areas of the evaluation were the motor and functional ability (56.0%), quality of life (23.0%), and respiratory function (23.0%). Nine studies (out of 15) showed a positive effect on the physical function of children and adolescents with impaired health.
Conclusion: This study presented an evidence-based practice concerning an intervention for improving the physical functionality of children and adolescents with impaired health. Further studies are required to encompass the effectiveness of school-based occupational therapy in children and adolescents with health impairments.
