Overview

Systematic review shows digital interventions may enhance transition outcomes for young people with congenital heart disease, indicating a need for inclusivity.

Key Points

  • Digital interventions can play a role in improving the transition for young people with congenital heart disease.
  • Five studies with 269 participants revealed mixed results related to health self-efficacy and physical activity levels.
  • Mobile applications and SMS were frequently used to support transition, but challenges remain for those with learning disabilities.
  • Comparative research on nurse-led and digital strategies is necessary for evaluating efficacy in transition programs.
