对患者赋权的更加重视导致了大量旨在赋予癌症患者权力的移动的健康应用程序。然而，这些应用程序的严谨性和证据很少得到承认。这篇患者赋权应用程序的系统性综述描述了支持这些应用程序的特征、质量、特性和证据。我们通过Apple和Google Play商店使用患者和研究衍生的患者赋权概念来识别商业应用程序。三位作者使用了移动的应用程序评级量表、语言学、可读性、用户评级和证据来评估应用程序的焦点、功能和质量。通过描述性分析总结了应用程序特征。12个应用程序符合合格标准并进行了分析。应用程序的内容主要集中在提高沟通技巧（n = 10，83.3%），社会支持（n = 8，66.7%），有关癌症和治疗的信息（n = 8，66.7%），以及点对点支持（n = 5，41.7%）。平均客观（3.9 ± 0.5/5）和主观（3.7 ± 1.0/5）质量评分为中度至高度。大多数阅读标准没有被违反，平均阅读水平为10年级，高于推荐的8年级水平。在已发表的研究文章中对四个应用程序进行了评估。患者授权应用程序的内容差异很大，可读性对普通读者来说是排他性的。应用程序.患者授权应用程序应该进行更严格的设计和测试，以确保应用程序对不同的癌症幸存者群体都是可用的和有益的。
Greater emphasis on patient empowerment has led to a plethora of mobile health applications aimed at empowering patients with cancer. However, the rigor and evidence of these apps are rarely acknowledged. This systematic review of patient empowerment apps describes the characteristics, quality, heuristics, and evidence supporting these apps. We identified commercially available apps through the Apple and Google Play stores using patient- and research-derived conceptualizations of patient empowerment. Three authors used the Mobile App Rating Scale, heuristics, readability, user ratings, and evidence to evaluate the apps’ foci, features, and quality. App characteristics were summarized with descriptive analyses. Twelve apps met the eligibility criteria and were analyzed. Apps’ content focused on enhancing communication skills (n = 10, 83.3%), social support (n = 8, 66.7%), information about cancer and treatment (n = 8, 66.7%), and peer-to-peer support (n = 5, 41.7%). The mean objective (3.9 ± 0.5 out of 5) and subjective (3.7 ± 1.0 out of 5) quality scores were moderate to high. Most heuristics were not violated, and the mean reading level was 10th grade, which is above the recommended 8th grade level. Four apps had been evaluated in published research articles. The contents of patient empowerment apps varied greatly, and the readability was exclusionary to the average reader. Apps. Patient empowerment apps should be more rigorously designed and tested to ensure the apps are usable and beneficial to diverse groups of cancer survivors.
