摘要
The aim of this review is to identify, appraise, and synthesize the available qualitative evidence on the experiences and needs of perinatal women by using digital technologies in healthcare.This review was consolidated following the eMERGe meta-ethnography reporting guidance. We conducted a comprehensive search in eight databases from inception to 12 October 2021. Published and unpublished qualitative and mixed-method studies published in English were included. The methodological quality was assessed using the critical appraisal skill program checklist. A meta-ethnographic synthesis was used according to Noblit and Hare's seven-step iterative process.A total of 3,843 articles were retrieved, and 27 qualitative studies pertaining to 3,775 perinatal women from 13 countries across different ethnicities were included. Four overarching themes emerged for the aspect of experiences: (1) normalization of experience, (2) attainment of valuable knowledge, (3) empowerment and self-confidence boosting, and (4) beneficial features of digital platforms. For the aspect of needs, the derived themes included the following: (1) necessity of credible resources, (2) importance of personalization, (3) concern about cybersecurity, and (4) urging additional support. Our line-of-argument for interpreting the perinatal women's experiences can offer a much greater engagement in digital healthcare, while the findings on the perinatal women's needs can add value for improving the design of digital healthcare in the future.This review offers a deeper understanding of the perinatal women's experiences and needs when using digital technologies in healthcare. Our findings provide meaningful recommendations for clinical practice and future research.
