Background

There are some qualitative studies on the views of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) on telemedicine, however, there are few related qualitative systematic reviews.

Objectives

To systematically review and synthesize qualitative studies involving the perceptions of patients with COPD about telemedicine to understand patients' attitudes and expectations for telemedicine and determine the obstacles and stimulus in the use of telemedicine.

Methods

We searched PubMed, Web of Science, MEDLINE, Embase and CINAHL for articles published from January 2000 to December 2020. The data were analysed using thematic synthesis.

Results

We included 20 articles involving 19 studies and 301 patients, and we identified four themes: perceived ease of use, perceived usefulness, perceived difficulty of use, and perceived uselessness. We found that although patients have different views on telemedicine, most of them have a positive attitude towards it.

Conclusions

The synthesis of views will help us determine the factors that promote or hinder the application of telemedicine and guide the design and implementation of telemedicine in the future.

慢性阻塞性肺疾病患者对远程医疗的看法：定性系统评价

背景

慢性阻塞性肺疾病（COPD）患者对远程医疗的看法有一些定性研究，但相关的定性系统评价很少。

目标

系统地审查和综合涉及 COPD 患者对远程医疗的看法的定性研究，以了解患者对远程医疗的态度和期望，并确定使用远程医疗的障碍和刺激因素。

方法

我们在 PubMed、Web of Science、MEDLINE、Embase 和 CINAHL 中搜索了 2000 年 1 月至 2020 年 12 月发表的文章。使用主题综合分析了数据。

结果

我们纳入了 20 篇文章，涉及 19 项研究和 301 名患者，我们确定了四个主题：感知易用性、感知有用性、感知使用难度和感知无用性。我们发现，尽管患者对远程医疗有不同的看法，但大多数人对此持积极态度。

结论

观点的综合将有助于我们确定促进或阻碍远程医疗应用的因素，并指导未来远程医疗的设计和实施。
