Abstract

AIM

To introduce a web-based application for monitoring comfort in patients receiving palliative care.

METHODS

Multi-phase electronic application development process that concluded with a pilot design to assess the feasibility and acceptability of the developed app (n=7 patients).

RESULTS

The app is compatible with Android, iOS and Windows. The results from phases I and II provided the knowledge about monitoring comfort. In phase III, five experts analysed the content of the app. The assessment of comfort comprises 11 self-reported items (pain, tiredness, drowsiness, nausea, lack of appetite, shortness of breath, depression, anxiety, fear of the future, peace and the will to live). In phase IV, a total of 117 messages were retrieved. Participants considered the app simple, easy to use and useful.

CONCLUSIONS

This prototype is feasible and user-friendly. Further research is needed to continue the app development, particularly in terms of data protection.

摘要

目的

介绍一款基于网络的应用程序，用于监测接受姑息治疗患者的舒适度。

方法

多阶段电子应用程序开发过程，最终进行试点设计以评估所开发应用程序的可行性和可接受性（n = 7名患者）。

结果

该应用程序与安卓、iOS和Windows系统兼容。第一阶段和第二阶段的结果提供了有关监测舒适度的知识。在第三阶段，五名专家分析了该应用程序的内容。舒适度评估包括11项自我报告项目（疼痛、疲劳、嗜睡、恶心、食欲不振、呼吸急促、抑郁、焦虑、对未来的恐惧、安宁和生存意愿）。在第四阶段，共检索到117条信息。参与者认为该应用程序简单、易用且有用。
