OBJECTIVE: The primary objective of this review is to map the breadth of available evidence on eHealth tools currently available to assess and support best practices for nutrition, physical activity, or both in ECEC settings and to highlight potential research directions.
METHODS: This scoping review will be conducted in accordance with the Joanna Briggs Institute Manual for Scoping Reviews with adherence to the PRISMA-ScR (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses Extension for Scoping Reviews) checklist guidelines. Eligibility is based on the Population, Concept, and Context criteria as follows: (1) early childhood educators (population); (2) eHealth (digital) technology, such as websites, smartphone apps, email, and social media (concept); and (3) measurement and intervention tools to support best practices for nutrition, physical activity, or both in ECEC settings (context). The information sources for this review are the bibliographic databases PubMed, Scopus, CINAHL Plus, ERIC, and Embase in English and French with no date restrictions. Following this, a scan of gray literature will be undertaken. The electronic search strategy was developed in collaboration with two librarians. Two independent reviewers will screen the titles and abstracts of all relevant publications against inclusion criteria, followed by a full-text review using a data extraction tool developed by the reviewers. A synthesis of included papers will describe the publication, assessment, and intervention tool details. A summary of the findings will describe the types of eHealth assessment tools available, psychometric properties, eHealth intervention components, and theoretical frameworks used for development.
RESULTS: Preliminary searches of bibliographic databases to test and calibrate the search were carried out in May 2023. Study selection based on titles and abstracts was started in August 2023. The developed search strategy will guide our search for gray literature. The findings will be presented in visualized data map format, waffle chart, or tabular format accompanied by a narrative discussion. The scoping review is planned for completion in 2024.
CONCLUSIONS: A structured review of the literature will provide a summary of the range and type of eHealth tools available for ECEC programs to assess and improve nutrition environments, physical activity environments, or both in order to identify gaps in the current evidence base and provide insights to guide future intervention research.

目的:本综述的主要目的是绘制当前可用的电子健康工具的现有证据的广度,以评估和支持营养的最佳做法,身体活动,或在ECEC环境中同时强调潜在的研究方向。
方法:本范围审查将根据JoannaBriggs研究所范围审查手册进行,并遵守PRISMA-ScR(系统审查的首选报告项目和范围审查的荟萃分析扩展)清单指南。资格是基于人口,概念,和背景标准如下:(1)幼儿教育工作者(人口);(2)电子健康(数字)技术,如网站,智能手机应用程序,电子邮件,和社交媒体(概念);(3)支持营养最佳实践的测量和干预工具,身体活动,或同时在ECEC设置(上下文)中。本次审查的信息来源是书目数据库PubMed,Scopus,CINAHLPlus,ERIC,和Embase在英语和法语没有日期限制。在此之后,将进行灰色文献扫描。电子搜索策略是与两名图书馆员合作开发的。两名独立审核员将根据入选标准筛选所有相关出版物的标题和摘要,然后使用审稿人开发的数据提取工具进行全文审查。包含的论文的综合将描述出版物,评估,和干预工具的细节。调查结果的摘要将描述可用的电子健康评估工具的类型,心理测量属性,eHealth干预组件,和用于发展的理论框架。
结果:2023年5月对书目数据库进行了初步搜索,以测试和校准搜索。基于标题和摘要的研究选择始于2023年8月。制定的搜索策略将指导我们搜索灰色文献。调查结果将以可视化数据地图格式呈现,华夫饼图,或表格格式,并附有叙述性讨论。范围审查计划于2024年完成。
结论:对文献的结构化审查将总结ECEC计划可用的电子健康工具的范围和类型,以评估和改善营养环境。身体活动环境,或两者兼而有之,以确定当前证据基础中的差距,并提供见解以指导未来的干预研究。
