Abstract

Purpose : The purpose of this study was to review mobile health (mHealth) interventions based on studies from online databases for community-dwelling patients with heart diseases.
Methods : Six databases (RISS, KISS, PubMed, CINAHL, EMBASE, and SCOPUS) were searched to select studies conducted from January 1 to September 30, 2010. After this, quality appraisals were carried out using the Scottish Intercollegiate Guidelines Network checklist and a total of 11 studies were selected.
Results : The selected 11 studies included 7 randomized controlled studies, 1 quasi-experimental study and 3 pilot studies. The main components of mHealth interventions included symptom monitoring at home, provisions for individualized messages for health management using text messaging, telephone or smart phone applications, and running websites for symptom monitoring or health education. Intervention periods varied from 6 weeks to 12 months. The findings of the studies suggested that the mHealth interventions were effective in improving self-management of heart diseases, quality of life, and decreasing symptoms.
Conclusions : The results of the review suggested that mHealth interventions had positive effects on community-dwelling patients with heart diseases. More mHealth intervention studies need to be conducted in Korea to aid community-dwelling patients with heart diseases.
