Health promotion interventions for children and adolescents using e-health: a systematic review

Abstract Background The utilization of e-health in healthcare interventions has become increasingly prevalent due to its cost-effectiveness. Nevertheless, there is a paucity of evidence regarding the use of e-health in children, as the majority of e-health interventions are focused on adults. This study aimed to identify the components and effects of e-health intervention for the promotion of children’s health and to suggest strategies for their implementation. Methods A systematic review was conducted in accordance with the PRISMA guidelines. A literature review of relevant studies published between January 2013 and November 2023 was conducted. A search of databases including PubMed, EMBASE, CINAHL, MEDLINE, and Cochrane Review Library was conducted using a combination of medical subject headings (MeSH) and keywords. A qualitative appraisal of the studies was conducted using the revised Cochrane risk-of-bias tool for randomized trials (RoB 2). Results Sixteen studies were selected. Most studies showed good methodological quality. The majority of studies (n = 15) focused on improving children’s physical health, while only one study focused on mental health. There were a variety of components to the intervention, including internet education, web-based home-exercise, serious games, mobile apps, email counseling, and active video games, and only one type of intervention was provided, or a combination with additional methods such as phone calls and counseling. A review of the literature indicates that e-health interventions have been effective in increasing children’s physical activity, reducing weight, relieving stress, and reducing depression. Conclusions This study identified the effectiveness of e-health interventions for improving children’s physical and mental health. The use of e-health to promote children’s health should be actively developed and implemented in a variety of clinical and community settings. Key messages • E-health interventions have been demonstrated to be an effective means of improving the physical and mental health of children and adolescents. • It is recommended that health promotion interventions utilizing e-health be developed and tested in a variety of communities and settings for children and adolescents.

Exploring digital literacy challenges: a comparative study of online inquiry skills among college students with reading difficulties

ABSTRACT Technology has revolutionised how we interact, work, and learn, with digital literacy offering lifelong learning opportunities. College students heavily rely on the Internet for education. As more students with developmental difficulties enter higher education, it is vital to understand how disparities impact classroom learning. This study assesses online inquiry and research skills in college students with reading difficulties compared to those with typical reading skills. We recruited 67 college students, including those with reading difficulties, in online research about the ketogenic diet, responding to open-ended questions. Findings reveal that students with reading difficulties could access basic information online like their peers but encountered challenges in identifying critical data, explaining concepts, describing processes, and constructing resource-based arguments. This study underscores the importance of educational assessments to enhance digital literacy among college students with reading difficulties, with implications for instruction and future research.

Is the Internet to blame for problem behaviours in early adolescents? The effects of different types of Internet use, depression, and self-control

ABSTRACT This study explored the relationships between three types of Internet use (i.e. educational, socialising, and entertainment) and externalising behaviours in early adolescents. Using a representative sample of early adolescents in China (N = 819, Mage = 11.76), the result revealed that the indirect effect of educational Internet use on externalising behaviours was serially mediated by depression and self-control. Meanwhile, entertainment Internet use was found to be indirectly associated with a higher level of externalising behaviour via self-control. Last, socialising Internet use was found to have no effect on externalising behaviours and the two mediators. Theoretical implications for Internet use and externalising behaviours, as well as practical implications for problematic behaviour interventions are discussed.

Полиинтенциональность образовательного интернет-пространства (на материале англоязычных TED Talks)

The article provides a comprehensive analysis of the issue of intentionality in the educational Internet space and introduces the concept of “polyintentionality” as a specific characteristic of TED Talks media discourse. The aim of the article is to analyze the diversity of communicative intentions embedded in the content of educational media texts of TED Talks, including the analysis of the context types, communicative mechanisms and linguistic means that contribute to the achievement of different goals within a single speech. The authors introduce the concept of “polyintentionality” as a specific characteristic of TED Talks media discourse, distinguishing macrointentionality, which includes general goals and intentions of communicative acts, and microintentionality, which takes into account detailed intents in specific utterances. The paper pays attention to the general theoretical aspects that define ‘intention’ as an essential element shaping the speaker’s goals and motivation. The authors emphasize that video lectures on the TED platform, are characterized by heterogeneous intentionality of a complex nature. The authors distinguish four leading macrointentions in TED Talks texts: informing, persuading, inducing, inspiring and entertaining, each of which is realized through a variety of microintentions and linguistic means, both verbal and non-verbal. Based on a quantitative analysis of the verbal and non-verbal means used by TED speakers, the authors conclude that the discourse of TED Talks is polyintentional, with the predominance of the macrointention of informing. The authors note that the principle of polyintentionality underlying TED Talks allows speakers to effectively convey their ideas to the audience, motivate listeners and emphasize the importance of changes in life and education.

Care-experienced students and equity support provision: an investigation of Australian university websites

ABSTRACT This paper investigates the presence of support information on university websites, with a specific focus on care-experienced young people. Engaging with extant research about the university and college choice process as it involves marketing of higher education internet sites, the paper is based on a national scan of equity support provision on Australian university websites. This paper posits that there is an extra element in the ‘phased decision-making’ for people with additional needs in universities that is yet to be recognised by higher education institutions in Australia. The website scan and analysis found significant gaps in essential information for care-experienced young people and highlights that current practices on institutional websites concentrate on marketing. The lack of information for applicants with additional needs arguably deepens disadvantage and the marketised nature of higher education information contradicts the tertiary goals of equitability of access.

RESEARCH ON THE GAP BETWEEN URBAN AND RURAL SECONDARY EDUCATION IN SHANDONG PROVINCE IN THE INTERNET ERA


 
 
 
 In the age of digital connectivity, the integration of information technology into secondary Education is often lauded for transforming the teacher-student relationship through enhanced interactive communication. However, this study argues that this so-called "progress" has inadvertently exacerbated inequalities between urban and rural educational settings. Using a mixed-methods approach, including a literature review, surveys, and interviews, the study critically assesses four critical areas of this growing divide: access to educational resources, economic constraints, cultural gaps, and family-based differences. By deconstructing these complex, interconnected factors, this study challenges overly optimistic narratives surrounding the role of the Internet in Education and suggests pragmatic solutions to narrow these disparities.
