Background eHealth interventions have been shown to offer people living with chronic kidney disease the opportunity of embracing dialysis therapies with greater confidence, the potential to obtain better clinical outcomes and increased quality of life, and diverse and flexible designs and delivery options. eHealth interventions or solutions can offer one-way information without the possibility for dialogue, as with most mobile apps. eHealth interventions intending to enable two-way communication between patients undergoing hemodialysis and health professionals are the focus of this review. eHealth communication interventions that enable two-way communication between patients undergoing hemodialysis and health professionals is an emerging field, but issues relating to participation in eHealth communication for patients undergoing hemodialysis are scarcely described. The current conceptualization of this issue is too scattered to inform the development of future interventions. In this scoping review, we want to assemble and examine this scattered knowledge on participation in two-way eHealth communication for patients undergoing hemodialysis. Objective We want to understand the participative role of people living with chronic kidney disease undergoing hemodialysis in available communicative eHealth interventions and to understand which barriers and facilitators exist for patient involvement in eHealth communication with health professionals. Methods A scoping review methodology is guiding this study. Peer-reviewed primary studies, including quantitative, qualitative, and mixed methods study designs will be included. A systematic search for published studies, dissertations, and theses at the doctoral level in the English language will be conducted in five databases (MEDLINE, Embase, CINAHL, Scopus, and ProQuest Dissertations and Theses). The included literature will focus on adult (18 years or older) patients undergoing hemodialysis who are involved in eHealth communication with health professionals. Data on the type of eHealth communication interventions, the participative role, and barriers and facilitators for the involvement in eHealth communication for people undergoing hemodialysis will be extracted independently by two reviewers. The extracted data will be collected in a draft charting table prepared for the study. Any discrepancies between the reviewers will be solved through discussion or with a third reviewer. Results Results are anticipated by the spring of 2023 and will be presented in tabular format along with a narrative summary. The anticipated results will be presented in alignment with the objectives of the study, presenting findings on the participative role of patients undergoing hemodialysis in eHealth communication interventions. Conclusions We anticipate that this study will inform on eHealth communication interventions and the level of patient participation in eHealth communication for patients undergoing hemodialysis. The systematized overview will possibly identify research gaps and motivate further development of eHealth communication to ensure patient participation. The findings will be of interest to key stakeholders in clinical care, research, development, policy, and patient advocacy. International Registered Report Identifier (IRRID) PRR1-10.2196/38615

Bakgrunn: Muntlig rapport har lang tradisjon i helsetjenesten. Elektronisk journaldokumentasjon er tilgjengelig, og det argumenteres for at skriftlig informasjon kan erstatte den muntlige overleveringen av pasientinformasjon. Noen steder er muntlig rapport erstattet med stille rapport for å spare tid og ressurser. Hensikt: Hensikten er å utvikle kunnskap om hvilke tema helsepersonell snakker om under rapportmøter i helsetjenesten. Metode: Kvalitativ tilnærming, Krippendorffs innholdsanalyse. Sykepleierstudenter samlet data fra rapportmøter i sykehus, sykehjem og hjemmetjeneste. Resultat: Organisatoriske forhold og drift, pleie og behandling ble mest omtalt. Faglige forhold og personalets bekymring og frustrasjon ble ofte omtalt. Privat prat opptok liten del av rapportmøtene. Konklusjon: Rapportmøtene inneholder mer enn formidling av pasientopplysninger, og må få større fokus mens videreutvikling av elektronisk pasientjournal (EPJ) pågår. Effektivisering av helsetjenesten, uten konsekvensutredning av reduksjon i rapport-tiden, kan medføre kvalitetsforringelse av sykepleietjenesten og pasientsikkerheten. Sykepleiernes organiseringsvirksomhet kan kamufleres i begrepet rapport.
