Abstract(s)

Purpose: To synthesize the available evidence about the use of Health Information Technology (HIT) to support patients during hemodialysis. Methods: The Joanna Briggs Institute's methodological guidelines for scoping reviews and the PRISMA-ScR checklist were employed. Bibliographic searches across MEDLINE®, CINAHL®, Psychology and Behavioral Sciences Collection, Scopus, MedicLatina, and Cochrane yielded 932 records. Results: Eighteen studies published between 2003 and 2023 were included. They explored a range of HITs, including virtual reality, exergames, websites, and mobile applications, all specifically developed for use during the intradialytic period. Conclusion: This study highlights the HITs developed for use during hemodialysis treatment, supporting physical exercise, disease management, and enhancement of self-efficacy and self-care.
