The COVID-19 pandemic caused tremendous disruption of health systems worldwide. Patients with diabetes are at a high risk of COVID-19 exposure because face-to-face consultations have been standard for diabetes management. This study describes the development and validation of a mobile application for nursing students on diabetes education during the COVID-19 pandemic. The application was developed by a certified diabetes educator nurse and by a freelance programmer and, in the next step, validated in terms of content and appearance by a group of expert nurses on diabetes (n = 29), nursing students (n = 40), and information technology experts (n = 11). Validity indexes of 0.99 for content and 0.92 for appearance were obtained, and usability values of 78.9 (±15.3) and 78.2 (±10.8) were obtained from nursing and information technology experts, respectively. The self-assessment and satisfaction items evaluated by nursing students had a total agreement of 96.3% and an intraclass correlation coefficient of 0.91. Both the content and the appearance of the application were considered adequate, and the usability scores indicate that the application is useful and easy to use.
COVID-19 大流行对全球卫生系统造成了巨大破坏。由于糖尿病的管理一直采用面对面咨询的方式，因此糖尿病患者感染 COVID-19 的风险很高。本研究描述了在 COVID-19 大流行期间针对护理学生的糖尿病教育开发和验证移动应用程序的过程。该应用程序由认证的糖尿病教育护士和自由职业程序员开发，接下来由一组糖尿病专家护士（n = 29）、护理学生（n = 40）和信息技术专家（n = 11）对其内容和外观进行验证。内容的有效性指数为 0.99，外观的有效性指数为 0.92，护理和信息技术专家的可用性值分别为 78.9（±15.3）和 78.2（±10.8）。护理学生评估的自我评估和满意度项目的总一致性为 96.3%，组内相关系数为 0.91。应用程序的内容和外观均被认为是适当的，可用性评分表明该应用程序既有用又易于使用。
