Describing the Continence App development as an educational technology to promote adherence to pelvic floor muscle training and prevent urinary incontinence in postpartum women.
Study of technological production carried out in two stages: construction and validation. The first happened in four steps: modeling, navigation project, abstract design of the interface and implementation. In the validation phase 22 experts (11 health experts and 11 from the information technology/computing/communication areas) and 22 puerperal women were invited to evaluate the content and appearance of the education application. The content validity was analyzed through the Content Validity Index and the appearance validity through 75% minimum agreement in the items evaluated. The study was conducted during 2016 and 2017. For the content validation, the judges evaluated the following aspects: concepts and definitions used in the application, possibility of comprehension by the target audience and form of presentation. In order to validate the appearance, the installation, execution of the functions, objectives, usability, interface, practicality and interaction with the user were evaluated.
Most of health experts were physiotherapists (n = 07) and professionals with a PhD (n = 07). Regarding the CVI, 100% of the evaluated items obtained values of 0.86 or greater. Most of information technology/computing/communication experts were male (81.8%) and of the information technology area (63.6%). Except for "restart sessions", "ways of presenting suggestions", "user interaction" and "motivates questioning", all the other aspects received between 81.8% and 100% positive responses. All items evaluated by the target audience obtained a minimum of 94.3% positive responses from the participants. In this step, points for adjustment were identified in relation to the application content and interface, which were promptly corrected.
The application has been validated for use in clinical practice as an educational technology to promote adherence to pelvic floor muscle training and prevention of urinary incontinence in postpartum women.
描述“控尿应用”的开发情况，将其作为一种教育技术，以促进产后女性对盆底肌训练的依从性并预防尿失禁。
这项技术生产研究分两个阶段进行：构建和验证。第一阶段分四个步骤进行：建模、导航项目、界面抽象设计和实现。在验证阶段，邀请了 22 名专家（11 名健康专家和 11 名来自信息技术/计算/通信领域的专家）和 22 名产后女性评估教育应用的内容和外观。内容有效性通过内容有效性指数进行分析，通过评估项目中 75%的最小一致性进行外观有效性分析。该研究于 2016 年至 2017 年进行。对于内容验证，评判人员评估了应用程序中使用的概念和定义、目标受众的理解可能性以及呈现形式。为了验证外观，评估了安装、功能执行、目标、可用性、界面、实用性以及与用户的交互。
大多数健康专家是物理治疗师（n=07）和拥有博士学位的专业人员（n=07）。关于 CVI，评估的 100%项目获得了 0.86 或更高的分数。大多数信息技术/计算/通信专家是男性（81.8%），来自信息技术领域（63.6%）。除了“重新开始会话”、“呈现建议的方式”、“用户交互”和“激发质疑”之外，所有其他方面都获得了 81.8%至 100%的积极响应。目标受众评估的所有项目都获得了参与者至少 94.3%的积极响应。在这一步骤中，确定了与应用程序内容和界面相关的调整点，并及时进行了纠正。
该应用程序已通过验证，可用于临床实践，作为一种教育技术，以促进产后女性对盆底肌训练的依从性并预防尿失禁。
