Protocol for a Qualitative Systematic Review on Young Adults with CVD and Digital Health

A research protocol document outlining a planned qualitative systematic review and meta-synthesis. The review aims to synthesize evidence on how young adults (aged 18–49) with cardiovascular disease experience digital health technologies, guided by the Theory of Media Affordances. The document is 17.0 KB, authored by Yi Cen, and was last updated on 2026-05-22.

Use Cases

• Informing the design of digital health tools based on synthesized user experience themes.
• Developing research methodologies for qualitative evidence synthesis in health informatics.
• Understanding media affordances in the context of chronic disease management among young adults.

Strengths

• The protocol is registered with PROSPERO (CRD420251138307), indicating a structured, pre-registered research plan.
• It specifies a systematic search across seven major academic databases (Cochrane Library, PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, Embase, CINAHL, PsycINFO).
• The methodology details the use of established quality assessment (JBI Checklist) and confidence grading (GRADE-CERQual) tools.

Limitations

• The dataset is a 17.0 KB protocol document, not a dataset of primary research findings or patient records.
• Row count and column-level documentation are absent, as the file is a textual research plan.
• The actual synthesized findings from the review are not yet available in this record.
