Climate Crisis

BACKGROUND The climate crisis is one of the biggest challenges of our time. Technological innovations particularly, persuasive technology have been identified as a veritable tool for effecting behaviour change in the climate-change domain. However, there is limited work on the synthesis of the findings of the existing literature on persuasive technology and climate-change interventions. Therefore, we aim to conduct a systematic review based on the PRISMA-P protocol to examine how persuasive technologies have been used hitherto as a motivational tool to address the problem of climate change and foster behaviour change. OBJECTIVE The objectives of this study are to explore, how effective is persuasive technology in fostering behaviour change aimed at reducing climate change, what persuasive strategies are being employed to promote positive behaviours aimed at reducing climate change, what behaviour theories are being employed in developing persuasive technologies aimed at reducing climate change, what are the behavioural outcomes targeted by persuasive technologies aimed at reducing climate change and what are the study methodologies being employed in persuasive technology/climate change research? METHODS Scopus, PubMed (MEDLINE), IEEE Xplore Digital Library, ACM Digital Library, Web of Science, and ProQuest databases were searched between October 30, 2020, and November 20, 2020, using specific keywords related to “persuasive technology” and "climate change." For the articles to be included in the systematic review, they must have been peer-reviewed user studies that evaluated the effectiveness of persuasive technology designs, prototypes, or implementations that promoted positive behaviours to reduce climate change. RESULTS Summarized findings of the eligible studies will be tabulated under specific themes as described in the objectives of the study. The findings will relate to the effectiveness of persuasive technologies, persuasive strategies employed in technical solutions for climate change, a range of applications of behavioural theories for climate change, targeted behavioural outcomes, etc. CONCLUSIONS The systematic review will help uncover empirical findings on behavioural outcomes related to climate-change persuasive interventions such as adoption intention, attitude, compliance with environmental guidelines, and adherence to pro-environmental behaviours.

Persuasive technologies are tools for motivating behaviour change using persuasive strategies. socially-driven persuasive technologies employ three common socially-oriented persuasive strategies in many health domains: competition, social comparison, and cooperation. Research has shown the possibilities for socially-driven persuasive interventions to backfire by demotivating behaviour, but we lack knowledge about how the interventions could motivate or demotivate behaviours. To close this gap, we studied 1898 participants, specifically Socially-oriented strategies and their comparative effectiveness in socially-driven persuasive health interventions that motivate healthy behaviour change. The results of a thematic analysis of 278 pages of qualitative data reveal important strengths and weaknesses of the individual socially-oriented strategies that could facilitate or hinder their effectiveness at motivating behaviour change. These include their tendency to simplify behaviours and make them fun, challenge people and make them accountable, give a sense of accomplishment and their tendency to jeopardize user’s privacy and relationships, creates unnecessary tension, and reduce self-confidence and self-esteem, and provoke a health disorder and body shaming, respectively. We contribute to the health informatics community by developing 15 design guidelines for operationalizing the strategies in persuasive health intervention to amplify their strengths and overcome their weaknesses.

Objective: This review aims to explore, characterize, and map the literature on interventions implemented to change emergency department (ED) clinicians’ behaviour related to suicide prevention using the Behaviour Change Wheel (BCW) as a guiding theoretical framework. Introduction: An ED is a critical place for suicide prevention. Yet, many patients who present with suicide-related thoughts and behaviours are discharged without proper assessment or appropriate treatment. Supporting clinicians (who provide direct clinical care, including nurses, physicians, allied health professionals) to make the desired behaviour change following evidence-based suicide prevention care is an essential step toward improving patient outcomes. However, reviews to date have yet to take a theoretical approach to investigate interventions implemented to change clinicians’ behaviour. Inclusion criteria: This review will consider literature that includes interventions that target ED clinicians’ behaviour change related to suicide prevention. Behaviour change refers to observable practice changes as well as proxy measures of behaviour change including knowledge and attitude. There are many ways in which an intervention can change clinicians’ behaviour (e.g., education, altering service delivery). This review will include a wide range of interventions that target behaviour change regardless of the type but exclude interventions that exclusively target patients.Methods: Multiple databases will be searched: PubMed, PsycInfo, CINAHL and Embase. We will also include grey literature, including Google search, ProQuest Dissertations and Theses Global, and Scopus conference papers. Full text of included studies will be reviewed, critically appraised and extracted. Extracted data will be coded to identify intervention functions using the BCW. Findings will be summarized in tables accompanied by narrative reports.
