“…These findings indicate that trust in health websites is important in helping users to cope with their health issues. This is in line with previous research indicating that seeking health information is an important coping mechanism in enhancing adjustment to illness and in the promotion of healthrelated activities [40], [41]. Furthermore, patient experiences help people to feel supported in their health issues [12].…”

Background: The Internet continues to offer new forms of support for health decision making. Government, charity and commercial health websites increasingly offer a platform for shared personal health experiences and these are just some of the opportunities that have arisen in a largely unregulated arena. Understanding how people trust and act on the information they find online has always been an important issue and remains so, particularly as the design and advertising practices of health websites continue to evolve and raise further concerns and challenges regarding their trustworthiness.

Transgender people face a range of personal and social conflicts that strongly influence their well-being. In many cases, the Internet can become the main resource in terms of finding support. The aim of this study was to understand how transgender people give and receive help online. Between 2013 and 2015, 122 online community conversations were collected on Italian forums and Facebook groups involving transgender people, and online interviews were conducted with 16 users of these communities. A qualitative content analysis was conducted by using the software package, NVivo10. The main categories that emerged were: motivations to join an online community, online help, differences between online and offline interactions, status, conflicts and professional help. Results indicate that participation in online communities often derives from the users' need for help. This help can be given by peers who have had similar experiences, and by professionals who participate in the discussions as moderator. The need to test one's own identity, to compare oneself with others and to share one's personal experiences made online communities at risk of exposing users to invalidation and transphobic messages. Administrators and moderators try to ensure the safety of users, and suggest that they ask for professional help offline and/or online when over-specific medical advice was sought. This study confirms that transgender people might find benefit from an online platform of help and support and might minimise distance problems, increase financial convenience and foster disinhibition.

“…Indeed, approximately 55.1% of the world's total population are Internet users (Internet World Stats, ). Increasing participatory Internet use as an important health information source and patient empowerment medium for health decision‐making and behaviours has been reported among older adults (Medlock et al, ). As such, there is increased advocacy to integrate the eHealth platform to deliver the care components of CR in a way that can best address the more individualized healthcare needs of cardiac patients to generate more health benefits (Paige, Krieger, Stellefson, & Alber, ).…”

Aims To evaluate the effects of eHealth cardiac rehabilitation (CR) on health outcomes of coronary heart disease patients and to identify programme design, which may lead to more effective health benefits. Design A systematic review and meta‐analysis following Cochrane Handbook for Systematic Reviews of Interventions. Data sources Medline, EMBASE, CLNAHL, Web of Science, Scopus, PsycINFO, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trails, PubMed and CNKI were searched over the period from 1806 to April 2019. Review methods A systematic review and meta‐analysis of randomized controlled trials to examine the effect of eHealth CR on health outcomes of coronary heart disease patients. We used RevMan 5.3 for risk of bias assessment and meta‐analysis and GRADE software for generating findings. Results In all, 14 trials with 1,783 participants were included. eHealth CR has significantly promoted duration of physical activity, daily steps, quality of life (QoL) and re‐hospitalization. Using comparative analysis of programme design elements, including mode of delivery, intervention content, motivational strategies and social support, between the effective and ineffective eHealth CR, it was found that comprehensive empowerment strategies and follow‐up care by tele‐monitoring may be the crucial characteristics leading to more favourable treatment effect. Conclusion eHealth CR is effective in engaging patients in active lifestyle, improving QoL and reducing re‐hospitalization. Future research needs to test the effects of comprehensive CR programmes by incorporating empowerment strategies and tele‐monitoring as active components. Impact eHealth has been increasingly applied to increase accessibility and uptake of CR. Integrative evidence to indicate its effects on health outcomes is lacking. This review identified its positive effects on some behavioural, psychosocial and health service use outcomes. Together with insights about which programme design elements may positively shape the outcomes, this review informs the role and practice of cardiovascular nurses in promoting evidence‐based eHealth CR.
