Meta synthesis: Mobile health education to healthy lifestyle for visual impairment

Abstract

Objective

This study aims to identify and explain scientific evidence on mobile health education to healthy lifestyle for visual impairment.

Methods

Literature search using Proquest, PubMed, and Scinapse through databases from various countries in the last 3 years (2017–2019). 207 articles are selected based on inclusion criteria: peer-reviewed articles (Scopus Q1 and Q2).

Results

The results of meta synthesis show that there is a need for prevention of health promotion, blind people need voice recognition applications (without touch) for accessibility, education requires media and community involvement, and healthy lifestyle literacy pays attention to specificity by using the same method when introducing children, especially Visual Impairment beginner.

Conclusions

Theoretical and methodological considerations for further research is creating breakthroughs by developing mobile applications using voice recognition of Visual Impairments so that they can live as healthy as people without Visual Impairment.
