Technosociality and health promotion in the daily lives of primary care users: A scoping review

Objective: to map available evidence on the use of technologies by Primary Health Care users in the context of health promotion. Method: this is a scoping review according to Joanna Briggs Institute, and the recommendations of the international guide Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for Scoping Reviews were followed. The PCC strategy (participants, concept and context) was used. The search in the databases was carried out from January to April 2020. Rresults: a total of 5,267 studies were retrieved and 28 articles were selected for review. The article origin was diverse, with the largest number being from the United States of America (7), the predominant language is English, the year was 2018 and the level of evidence 2. Studies show that users obtain benefits in health care through the use of technologies. Conclusion: health interventions, using technology, positively impact people’s behavior and lifestyle, focusing on the prevention and control of chronic diseases. It is noteworthy that technologies used in isolation cannot overcome behavioral barriers and their use does not replace one-to-one care and monitoring.
