“…Our review also identified limitations in the functionality of the systems as another usability concern across the included studies. Previous reviews of general diabetes self-management apps have highlighted important missing functionality, including automatic transfer of BG data from a glucometer to a mobile app, personalized diabetes management advice [ 107 ], prevention of errors [ 108 ], freedom to edit or remove data entries and appointments, and the ability to automate common tasks [ 109 ].…”

“…The limited functionality of diabetes self-management systems can be considered a usability problem [ 109 ] and is likely to result in these systems failing to meet users’ needs [ 107 ]. Addressing these functionality limitations would mitigate some of the usability challenges and help users optimize their engagement and interaction with these systems.…”

“…Overall, further work is required to improve the usability of GDM self-management systems. There is a need to evaluate the systems using various usability approaches [ 109 , 122 , 123 ] and larger samples to obtain broader usability perceptions and identify problems with the systems. Furthermore, more engaging elements in a GDM self-management system are needed to develop better emotional support for women.…”

Background Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is one of the most common medical complications during pregnancy. eHealth technologies are proving to be successful in supporting the self-management of medical conditions. Digital technologies have the potential to improve GDM self-management. Objective The primary objective of this systematic literature review was to identify the views of health professionals (HPs) and women with GDM regarding the use of eHealth for GDM self-management. The secondary objective was to investigate the usability and user satisfaction levels when using these technologies. Methods Following the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) approach, the search included primary papers in English on the evaluation of technology to support self-management of GDM from January 2008 to September 2021 using MEDLINE, CINAHL, Embase, ACM, and IEEE databases. The lists of references from previous systematic literature reviews, which were related to technology and GDM, were also examined for primary studies. Papers with qualitative, quantitative, and mixed methodologies were included and evaluated. The selected papers were assessed for quality using the Cochrane Collaboration tool, National Institute for Health and Care Excellence clinical guidelines, Critical Appraisal Skills Programme Qualitative Checklist, and McGill University Mixed Methods Appraisal Tool. NVivo (QSR International) was used to extract qualitative data, which were subjected to thematic analysis. Narrative synthesis was used to analyze the quantitative data. Results A total of 26 papers were included in the review. Of these, 19% (5/26) of studies used quantitative research methodologies, 19% (5/26) used qualitative methods, and 62% (16/26) used mixed methods. In all, 4 themes were identified from the qualitative data: the benefits of using technology, engagement with people via technology, the usability of technology, and discouragement factors for the use of technology. The thematic analysis revealed a vast scope of challenges and facilitators in the use of GDM self-management systems. The challenges included usability aspects of the system, technical problems, data privacy, lack of emotional support, the accuracy of reported data, and adoption of the system by HPs. Convenience, improved GDM self-management, peer support, increased motivation, increased independence, and consistent monitoring were facilitators to use these technologies. Quantitative data showed that there is potential for improving the usability of the GDM self-management systems. It also showed that convenience, usefulness, increasing motivation for GDM self-management, helping with GDM self-management, and being monitored by HPs were facilitators to use the GDM self-management systems. Conclusions This novel systematic literature review shows that HPs and women with GDM encountered some challenges in using GDM self-management systems. The usability of GDM systems was the primary challenge derived from qualitative and quantitative results, with convenience, consistent monitoring, and optimization of GDM self-management emerging as important facilitators.

“…It is the most recognized and widely used medical services outcome item (Ong, 2000) and an important indicator to measure the quality of medical care (Donabedian, 1988). Measuring patient satisfaction also provides actionable insights for improving the healthcare system (Fontecha et al, 2019;Chung et al, 2020).…”

IntroductionAs a special vulnerable group, the physical and mental health of elderly cancer patients has attracted much attention. However, few studies have focused on the impact of nurses’ mental state on the mental health of elderly cancer patients during the COVID-19 pandemic. In response to this literature gap, this study aims to explore the impact of nurses’ psychological capital on the satisfaction of elderly cancer patients. The job demands-resources model (JD-R) is used to further investigate how work engagement and job resources of nurses affect this relationship.MethodsThe questionnaire survey was used to collect data, participants included 230 elderly cancer patients and their nurses from a tertiary first-class cancer hospital in China. Partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) was conducted with SmartPLS 3.3.9.ResultsNurses’ psychological capital has a significant positive impact on the satisfaction of elderly cancer patients during the COVID-19 pandemic. Nurses’ work engagement is an important mechanism for their psychological capital to affect the satisfaction of elderly cancer patients. In addition, nurses’ job resources positively moderate the relationship between their psychological capital and work engagement. The positive relationship between psychological capital and work engagement of nurses is stronger when they have abundant job resources.DiscussionThese findings suggest that healthcare organizations should take the psychological capital of medical staff as an important means to improve their competitive advantage. It can improve the quality of medical services to obtain good performance by effectively developing and managing the psychological capital of medical staff. In addition, healthcare organizations should recognize the importance of providing adequate job resources for medical staff.

“…Diabetic patients, especially those suffering from the most severe complications, are responsible for self-managing their condition by maintaining a healthy diet, exercising regularly, and avoiding use of tobacco. In (Fontecha et al 2019) the authors exploit the use of mobile phones to support the self-management of diabetes patients. They particularly study usability aspects of these systems, including concepts such as engagement, empowerment, and treatment adherence.…”
