BACKGROUND
many apps are directly related to health issues. Recent studies show that apps are widely accepted by the population and contribute to the modernization of the healthcare system. However, before recommendation, their contents and quality should be assessed, as well as the behavioral change techniques they include. In Spain, no study has been found to determine which apps are aimed at addressing any aspect of breast cancer. The objective of this study was to identify and describe the contents and analyze the quality and behavior change strategies of the free applications available in the online stores of Android and Apple whose main purpose is related to some aspect of breast cancer.
METHODS
Searches were conducted in the Apple App and Google Play stores in Spain, between October 2018 and February 2019, using an Apple iPad Pro and a Samsung Galaxy Tab A6. The Spanish search terms used were: "cáncer de mama" [breast cancer], "cáncer de pecho" [breast cancer], "cáncer de seno" [breast cancer], "tumor de mama" [breast tumor], "tumor de pecho" [breast tumor], "tumor de seno" [breast tumor], "neoplasia de mama" [breast neoplasm], "neoplasia de pecho" [breast neoplasm], and "neoplasia de seno" [breast neoplasm]. After screening, contents related to breast cancer, quality, and behavioral change were assessed.
RESULTS
The contents of the 6 selected apps were related to breast self-examination and to the signs and symptoms that may warn the woman of the presence of a breast tumor. The MARS objective and subjective quality scores were 4.11 (SD =0.59) and 3.07 (SD =0.91), respectively. The mean number of BCTs included in the apps was 2.83 (SD =3.040). The app with the highest number of BCTs was APP1, with a total of 9 techniques.
CONCLUSIONS
Few free apps are specifically designed for breast cancer in Spanish. Their content and quality, as well as the number of BCTs they include, should be improved.
背景
许多应用程序与健康问题直接相关。最近的研究表明，应用程序被大众广泛接受，并有助于医疗保健系统的现代化。然而，在推荐之前，应评估其内容和质量，以及它们所包含的行为改变技术。在西班牙，尚未发现有研究确定哪些应用程序旨在解决乳腺癌的任何方面。本研究的目的是识别和描述内容，并分析安卓和苹果在线商店中主要目的与乳腺癌某些方面相关的免费应用程序的质量和行为改变策略。
方法
2018年10月至2019年2月期间，使用苹果iPad Pro和三星Galaxy Tab A6在西班牙的苹果应用商店和谷歌Play商店进行搜索。使用的西班牙语搜索词为：“cáncer de mama”（乳腺癌）、“cáncer de pecho”（乳腺癌）、“cáncer de seno”（乳腺癌）、“tumor de mama”（乳腺肿瘤）、“tumor de pecho”（乳腺肿瘤）、“tumor de seno”（乳腺肿瘤）、“neoplasia de mama”（乳腺肿瘤）、“neoplasia de pecho”（乳腺肿瘤）和“neoplasia de seno”（乳腺肿瘤）。筛选后，对与乳腺癌相关的内容、质量和行为改变进行评估。
结果
所选6款应用程序的内容与乳房自我检查以及可能警告女性乳腺肿瘤存在的体征和症状有关。MARS客观和主观质量得分分别为4.11（标准差=0.59）和3.07（标准差=0.91）。应用程序中包含的行为改变技术的平均数量为2.83（标准差=3.040）。行为改变技术数量最多的应用程序是APP1，共有9种技术。
结论
西班牙语中专门为乳腺癌设计的免费应用程序很少。它们的内容和质量，以及所包含的行为改变技术数量都应该得到改善。
