Theory-Based Digital Interventions to Improve Asthma Self-Management Outcomes: Systematic Review.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Asthma is a chronic disease requiring effective self-management to control it and prevent mortality. The use of theory-informed digital interventions promoting asthma self-management is increasing. However, there is limited knowledge concerning how and to what extent psychological theory has been applied to the development of digital interventions, or how using theory impacts outcomes.

Objective

The study aimed to examine the use and application of theory in the development of digital interventions to enhance asthma self-management and to evaluate the effectiveness of theory-based interventions in improving adherence, self-management, and clinical outcomes.

Methods

Electronic databases (CENTRAL, MEDLINE, EMBASE, and PsycINFO) were searched systematically us
