After childbirth, women undergo substantial physical and emotional changes. Therefore, it is important to provide them with information that helps them identify what is expected during this stage, as well as signs and symptoms that indicate complications after they have been discharged from the hospital.
This study aimed to develop a health app-Towards Motherhood-that provides evidence-based information about the postpartum period and evaluate the usability of the app with the target population.
This was a validation study involving 80 participants, including 24 professionals from the obstetric health field, 15 professionals from the technology field, and 41 postpartum women. The app was developed using React Native technology. Health professionals evaluated the app's content using the Content Validity Index, technology professionals completed a validated evaluation to assess the appearance of the app, and postpartum women completed the System Usability Scale (SUS) to measure the usability of the app.
The measurement of content validity using a Likert scale obtained an approval score of 99%. Regarding the app's appearance, 92% of responses were positive, reflecting favorable approval. The SUS usability score was 86.2, which represents excellent acceptance.
The Towards Motherhood mobile app is a valid tool for promoting self-care during the postpartum period. The app's evidence-based information, user-friendly design, and high usability make it an essential resource for women during this critical stage of their live.
分娩后，女性会经历巨大的身体和情绪变化。因此，为她们提供有助于识别这一阶段预期情况以及出院后并发症迹象和症状的信息非常重要。
本研究旨在开发一款健康应用程序——“迈向母亲hood”，提供基于证据的产后信息，并评估该应用程序在目标人群中的可用性。
这是一项验证性研究，涉及80名参与者，包括24名产科健康领域的专业人员、15名技术领域的专业人员和41名产后女性。该应用程序使用React Native技术开发。健康专业人员使用内容效度指数评估应用程序的内容，技术专业人员完成一项经过验证的评估以评估应用程序的外观，产后女性完成系统可用性量表（SUS）以测量应用程序的可用性。
使用李克特量表进行的内容效度测量获得了99%的认可分数。关于应用程序的外观，92%的回复是积极的，反映出良好的认可度。SUS可用性得分是86.2，代表着极高的接受度。
“迈向母亲hood”移动应用程序是促进产后自我护理的有效工具。该应用程序基于证据的信息、用户友好的设计和高可用性使其成为女性在人生这一关键阶段的重要资源。
