Abstract

This study was conducted as a descriptive study to determine the opinions of nurses/midwives working in obstetrics and gynecology clinics regarding mobile health applications and the mobile health model. The study included 64 nurses/midwives from a women's and obstetrics hospital in the Mediterranean region between January and June 2024. Research data were collected using a “Personal Information Form,” a “Questionnaire on Nurses' Use of Mobile Health Applications,” and a “Mobile Application Acceptance Model Scale.” It was determined that nurses/midwives had a high average total score on the mobile health usage model scale and accepted mobile applications. It was determined that participants most frequently used the E-nabız (82.8%), central physician appointment system (71.9%), and pedometer (48.8%) applications; 93.8% of those who used mobile health applications found them useful, and 89.1% preferred them because they found them reliable. The reasons for not using mobile applications were determined to be that 12.5% did not think they would use them regularly and 7.8% did not have storage space. The results of the study showed that nurses working in obstetrics and gynecology clinics adopted the mobile application model, used these applications for their own health, and recommended the applications to their patients.

Özet

Bu araştırma doğum ve kadın hastalıkları kliniklerinde çalışan hemşirelerin/ebelerin mobil sağlık uygulamaları ve mobil sağlık modeline ilişkin görüşlerini belirlemek amacıyla tanımlayıcı tipte yapılmıştır. Araştırmaya Ocak-Haziran 2024 tarihleri arasında Akdeniz bölgesinde bir kadın ve doğum hastalıkları hastanesindeki 64 hemşire/ebe alınmıştır. Araştırma verileri; “Kişisel Bilgi Formu” ve “Hemşirelerin Mobil Sağlık Uygulamalarını Kullanımına İlişkin Bilgiler Anketi” ve “Mobil Uygulama Kabul Modeli Ölçeği” kullanılarak toplanmıştır. Hemşire/ebelerin mobil sağlık kullanımı modeli ölçeğinden aldıkları toplam puan ortalamasının yüksek olduğu, mobil uygulamaları kabullendikleri belirlenmiştir. Katılımcıların en sık E-nabız (%82,8), merkezi hekim randevu sistemi (%71,9) ve adımsayar (%48,8) uygulamalarını kullandıkları; mobil sağlık uygulamalarını kullananların %93,8’i bu uygulamaları yararlı bulduğu, %89,1’i güvenilir bulduğu için tercih ettikleri saptanmıştır. Mobil uygulamaları kullanmama nedenleri ise; %12,5’i düzenli kullanacağını düşünmediğinden, %7,8’i depolama alanı olmadığından kaynaklandığı belirlenmiştir. Araştırmanın sonucunda doğum ve kadın hastalıkları kliniklerinde çalışan hemşirelerin mobil uygulama modelini benimsedikleri, kendi sağlıkları için bu uygulamaları kullandıkları ve hastalarına da uygulamaları önerdikleri belirlenmiştir.
