“…In this study, the WellWe intervention followed the mediating variable model (Baranowski et al, 1997). The detailed description of the mediating variable model and the development process of the WellWe intervention (Pakarinen et al, 2018) and usability testing of the intervention (Pakarinen et al, 2017a) have been reported in previous publications.…”

“…The intervention included two parts: a health discussion with a PHN and the use of the WellWe application, which was developed by a multidisciplinary team (Pakarinen et al, 2018). First, families used the WellWe application for approximately 30-40 minutes at home before entering the child health clinic for a comprehensive health check.…”

“…During the health check visit, the PHNs could discuss and provide feedback to the family about their physical activity and nutritional habits, daily rhythm, and situation regarding family resources. A detailed description of the WellWe application can be found in a previous publication (Pakarinen et al, 2018).…”

Objectives This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of the digital and gamified WellWe intervention on parental self-efficacy for healthy behaviours and mindfulness in parenting at the comprehensive health checks of 4-year-old children. Methods Two-arm cluster, randomised, controlled trial with a 4-month follow-up.The data were collected from parents of 4-year-old children. Cluster randomisation was done at the municipality level. Fifteen child health clinics within 4 municipalities located in Southwest Finland were randomly allocated to either an intervention (WellWe intervention) or a control group (usual care). The outcome measures included the Parental Self-Efficacy for Healthy Behaviours (PDAP) and Mindfulness in Parenting (MIPQ) questionnaires. Data were collected at baseline, after the intervention and at the 4-month follow-up. Results Initially a total of 110 parents (50 in the intervention and 60 in the control group) participated in the study. At the end of the study, there were 33 parents involved, with 12 in the intervention group and 21 in the control group. Parental self-efficacy and mindfulness in parenting showed no statistically significant difference between the groups or within the groups at the different time points. Conclusions The results of the study showed no difference between the intervention and the usual care. The commitment of the subjects was lower than expected. The intervention could be improved by placing a greater focus on engaging and motivating both families and public health nurses (PHNs). Therefore, when refining the intervention further, it's important to involve the target group more actively in the design of both content and delivery.

Zusammenfassung Hintergrund Digitale Technologien stellen ein großes Potenzial für Prävention und Gesundheitsförderung im Hinblick auf die Reichweite und individualisierte sowie bedürfnisorientierte Gestaltung von Informationen dar. Diese müssen von Nutzer*innen verstanden, aber auch innerhalb der Settingprävention vor allem von Organisationen adäquat eingesetzt und in Prozesse der Sturkturentwicklung überführt werden. Das Konzept der eHealth Literacy setzt verschiedenen Determinanten dafür in Zusammenhang. Ziel und Methodik Um einen Einblick über die Verwendung des Konzepts eHealth Literacy in der Forschung zu digitalen Technologien der Gesundheitsförderung und Prävention zu erhalten, wurde eine systematisierte Literaturrecherche durchgeführt. Dabei wurden die Datenbanken MEDLINE, CINAHL, SocINDEX, PsycINFO, Psyndex, IEEE Xplore, BASE und Web of Science durchsucht. Ergebnisse Es wurden 35 Artikel identifiziert, die Health Literacy in Bezug zu digitalen Technologien fokussieren. Die Ergebnisse zeigen eine marginale wissenschaftliche Auseinandersetzung mit dem Konzept. Bisher findet keine Anpassung digitaler Technologien an die Health Literacy der Nutzer*innen statt. Das führt zu einer verkürzten Perspektive und zu ungenutztem Potenzial, welches das Konzept bietet. Schlussfolgerung Es besteht ein dringender Bedarf, ein evidenzbasiertes eHealth-Literacy-Konzept zu entwickeln und anzuwenden, um digitale Technologien und Gesundheitsinformationen zielgruppenspezifisch und ressourcenorientiert modifizieren und in Settings einsetzen zu können.
