Abstract

With the development of technology and the increase in the use of mobile devices, the orientation towards mobile technologies is gradually increasing in the field of health. One of the areas most affected by this orientation is the field of obstetrics. Mobile health applications are being launched in many areas such as women's health, pregnancy and childbirth. With the increase in the number of users and the translation of women's information retrieval channels into this area, the work on mobile health applications has increased. These studies on mobile health applications affect the way midwifery care is presented. In order for midwives to improve the quality of their care and integrate current technologies into their care, they need to closely monitor these studies and contribute to the work in this area. This review was conducted in order to examine the mobile applications used in the field of midwifery. However, in the studies conducted in this field, it is seen that the qualifications specific to the philosophy of midwifery are lacking and they are carried out using medical scientific bases. It is considered that the development and / or use of mobile health applications by midwives in Turkey is very important in terms of midwifery care and women's health.

Özet

Teknolojinin gelişmesi ve mobil cihaz kullanımının artması ile birlikte sağlık alanında da mobil teknolojilere yönelim giderek artmaktadır. Bu yönelimden en çok etkilenen alanlardan biri de obstetri alanıdır. Kadın sağlığı, gebelik, doğum, doğum sonu gibi birçok alanda mobil sağlık uygulamaları piyasaya sürülmektedir. Kullanıcı sayısındaki artış ve kadınların bilgi edinme kanallarının bu alana çevirmesiyle birlikte mobil sağlık uygulamaları üzerindeki çalışmalar artmıştır. Mobil sağlık uygulamaları üzerine yapılan bu çalışmalar ebelik bakımının sunum şeklini etkilemektedir. Ebelerin bakımlarının kalitelerini arttırmaları ve güncel teknolojileri bakımlarına entegre etmeleri için bu çalışmaları yakından takip etmeleri ve bu alandaki çalışmalara katkı sağlamaları gerekmektedir. Bu derleme ebelik alanında kullanılan mobil uygulamaları incelemek amacıyla yapılmıştır. Bununla birlikte bu alanda yapılan çalışmalarda ebelik felsefesine özgü niteliklerin eksik olduğu ve tıbbi bilimsel dayanakların kullanılarak yürütüldüğü görülmektedir. Ebelerin Türkiye’de mobil sağlık uygulama geliştirmelerinin ve/veya kullanmalarının ebelik bakımı ve kadın sağlığı açısından oldukça önemli olduğu düşünülmektedir.
