Self-managed digital technologies for pressure injury prevention in individuals with spinal cord injury: a systematic scoping review.

ABSTRACT:

Study design

Systematic scoping review.

Objectives

Pressure injuries (PI) are a serious but mostly preventable complication associated with living with spinal cord injuries (SCI). This review aims to identify and summarize evidence concerning self-managed digital technologies for preventing PI in the SCI population.

Methods

A systematic search was performed across seven databases-Embase, Medline, PsycInfo, Web of Science, Scopus, CENTRAL, and CINAHL. To be eligible, studies had to be peer-reviewed and report original findings on self-managed digital technologies for PI prevention in adults (≥18 years) with SCI. Supplementary searches were conducted using Google Scholar, PEDro, and citation tracking to locate relevant studies not identified by the systematic search. Da
