Abstract

Uvod: Kronična bolečina v križu je peti najpogostejši razlog obiska pri zdravniku. Gre za stanje, ki predstavlja zelo veliko breme populaciji ter vsem zdravstvenim sistemom globalno. Smernice za zdravljenje priporočajo nadaljevanje samozdravljenja na domu. Eden od načinov je s pomočjo uporabe mobilnih aplikacij in spletnih strani. Namen: Namen diplomskega dela je na podlagi pregleda literature ugotoviti ali je mogoče pri kronični bolečini v križu lajšati simptome s pomočjo sodobne tehnologije ter kakšni so učinki njihove uporabe. Metode dela: Literaturo smo iskali v podatkovnih zbirkah PEDro, ProQuest, MEDLINE in reviji JMIR Publications, od junija do oktobra 2019. Pri iskanju smo uporabili naslednje ključne besede v angleškem jeziku v iskalnih kombinacijah: mHealth, eHelath, OR self-management [Title/Abstract] AND chronic low back pain OR chronic disability; web-based treatment, mobile apps [Title/Abstract] AND chronic pain. Rezultati: V analizo smo vključili osem člankov. Učinki uporabe mobilnih aplikacij so zmanjšanje jakosti bolečine, izboljšanje opolnomočenja, zmanjšanje vnosa zdravil in izboljšanje kakovosti življenja. Pregled je pokazal zmanjšanje jakosti bolečine v petih od osmih raziskav, opazen pa je bil tudi napredek pri telesni dejavnosti in opolnomočenju. Razprava in zaključek: Raziskave kažejo, da bi ob dolgotrajni uporabi mobilnih aplikacij lahko prišlo do izboljšanja stanja. Za uporabnost v klinični praksi še vedno ni trdnih dokazov, zato je potrebno narediti še dodatne metodološko kakovostnejše raziskave.

Secondary title: Effects of mobile applications and web-based interventions in treating patients with chronic low back pain - literature review
Secondary abstract: Introduction: Low back pain is the fifth most common reason for all physician visits. It represents significant burden on general population and for health care systems globally. Guidelines often recommend the use of self-management. A potentially useful way of self-manage is by using smartphone applications and websites. Purpose : Purpose of diploma work is to find out whether is it possible to show, on the basis of the literature review, if the symptoms of chronic low back pain can be alleviated by the use of modern technology, and what effects does the use have. Methods: Literature was searched in databases PEDro, ProQuest, MEDLINE and magazine JMIR Publications from June to October 2019. We used the following keywords in our search combinations: mHealth, eHelath, OR self-management [Title/Abstract] AND chronic low back pain OR chronic disability; web-based treatment, mobile apps [Title/Abstract] AND chronic pain. Results: Eight articles were included in the analysis. Effects of using apps are reduced pain, improved empowerment, reduced medication intake and improved quality of life. Results showed a decrease in pain intensity in five of eight studies and progress in physical activity and empowerment. Discussion and conclusion: Results show that there may be improvement because of the long-term use of apps. There is still insufficient reliable evidence for usefulness in clinical practice and further methodological research is needed.
