ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
The purpose of this scoping review was to highlight the current scientific evidence on eHealth-based information tools for menopause in terms of quality, requirements and previous intervention outcomes.METHODS:
We systematically searched electronic databases (Embase, CINAHL, Cochrane Library, Global Health Database [Ovid], Web of Science, ClinicalTrials.gov [NLM], LIVIVO Search Portal [ZB MED] and Google Scholar) from 1974 to March 2022 for relevant records.RESULTS:
Our search yielded 1773 records, of which 28 met our inclusion criteria. Thirteen of 28 selected studies were cross-sectional with qualitative content analysis of websites about menopause; 9 studies were cohort studies examining the impact of an eHealth intervention; two studies were randomized controlled trials comparing eHealth tools with conventional ones; and four studies were non-systematic literature reviews.CONCLUSION:
This scoping review highlights the potential of eHealth-based information tools for the management of menopause and shows that most eHealth-based information tools are inadequate in terms of readability and the balanced view on information. Providers of eHealth-based information tools should pay attention to a participatory design, readability, balance of content and the use of multimedia tools for information delivery to improve understanding.Palavras-chave
