Hrev_master Abstract The lack of knowledge, attitudes, and practice of preeclampsia mothers and spouses in preventing eclampsia affected the preva- lence of eclampsia. A practical approach model was needed to increase knowledge, attitudes, and practices in preventing eclamp- sia. A mobile application that was effective, easy to use, and understandable was considered one of the solutions. This study aimed to develop an appropriate and user-friendly mobile applica- tion for preeclampsia mothers and spouses to prevent eclampsia. The study design was cross-sectional and was conducted in two stages. The first stage identified the content needs for eclampsia prevention in a mobile application. It involved 86 participants selected using the convenience sampling technique and a 20-item questionnaire. The second stage focused on mobile application development and usability testing using the SKAMA (Skala Kebolehgunaan Aplikasi Mudah Alih), which included a 10-item questionnaire with ten participants. Statistical analysis included the distribution frequencies of variables related to content needs and the application’s usability, as assessed by beta testers using the SKAMA questionnaire. Out of the 20 questionnaire items assess- ing the level of need, the lowest percentage of strongly needed items for preeclampsia mothers was “Recommended and Prohibited Activities” (65%). For spouses, it was “Recommended and Prohibited Activities” and “Equipment to be Prepared” (88.2%). In the ten-item questionnaire, preeclampsia mothers scored the highest (50%) on the statement, “Various functions are well integrated, and they learned to use the mobile application very quickly.” In comparison, spouses scored the highest (90%) on the statement, “The mobile application is easy to use, and they feel confident using it. All participants confirmed that the mobile application had the necessary content (appropriate). The results of the mobile application testing showed positive responses from pre-eclampsia mothers and spouses (user-friendly). It is essential to obtain support from policymakers and conduct periodic moni- toring and evaluation of the application’s consistency to have implications for eclampsia prevention practices. Introduction Maternal mortality can be attributed to many factors. These factors allude to the mother’s role as both an object and a subject, particularly in the context of maternal knowledge and attitudes related to pre-eclampsia.1 Based on the study’s results, it was found that the level of knowledge about pre-eclampsia and eclampsia among pregnant women was less than 47%.2 The lack of information and educational level contributes to the low level of knowledge. The level of knowledge and attitudes of mothers with pre-eclampsia is crucial in making decisions aimed at enhancing their health and preventing illness and mortality.3 In addition to the low levels of knowledge and attitude related to eclampsia cases, the inadequate practice of prevention among preeclampsia mothers is a substantial contributing factor to the occurrence of eclampsia.4 Another factor that deserves attention is the limited involvement of family members, especially spouses, in supporting a mother during pregnancy.5 Husbands need to be vig- Healthcare in Low-resource Settings 2024; volume 12:11785 Development of a user-friendly mobile app for eclampsia prevention targeting preeclampsia mothers and spouses Mamat Mamat,1 Tukimin Sansuwito2 1Politeknik Kesehatan Kemenkes Bandung, Bandung, Indonesia; 2Lincoln University College (LUC), Selangor, Malaysia Correspondence: Mamat Mamat, Politeknik Kesehatan Kemenkes Bandung, Indonesia.

Based on a study conducted through interviews with five preg- nant mothers with pre-eclampsia and their partners, it was discov- ered that the majority lacked knowledge about pre-eclampsia, what steps to take, and how to ensure safe delivery without experiencing eclampsia. Sudirman et al. (2019) emphasised the need for a prac- tical approach model to address the low levels of knowledge, atti- tudes, and practices in preventing eclampsia among pregnant women, along with increased family or spouse involvement.7 The most effective solution is enhancing communication, information, and education through easily accessible and understandable media for families and pregnant women. Another study revealed that 86.9% of pregnant women and their families expect high-quality service, with 78.3% recommending internet-based media for health services (such as mobile health applications). Furthermore, 90.9% of healthcare workers believe Telehealth can enhance ser- vice accessibility.8 The design of communication, information, and education through internet-based social media is expected to strengthen the abilities, attitudes, and behaviour of preeclamptic pregnant women and their families (couples) involved in health services to reduce the incidence of childbirth complications due to pre-eclampsia. Internet-based information media approaches already exist, such as pre-eclampsia-detector, preclampsia.com 6, pre-eclampsia-calculator 7, and Dear Mother App,9 as well as Short Message Service (SMS). However, these applications have limitations. For instance, they lack specific functional information regarding pre-eclampsia and eclampsia prevention practices. Moreover, the mothers and spouses need to operate the applica- tions more frequently, and some require email logins, making it challenging for pregnant women and their partners to use them. A mobile health application is an informational and education- al medium that addresses preventing pregnancy disorders, particu- larly eclampsia.10 It also serves as a communication platform between preeclampsia mothers and their spouses to prevent eclampsia. The developed mobile health application provides spe- cific information for preeclampsia mothers, engaging their fami- lies and integrating input based on the needs of pregnant women with pre-eclampsia, opinions from healthcare providers (including midwives and doctors), and literature studies. All information is presented on the Android platform in an engaging, easy-to-under- stand, and informative manner to enhance knowledge, attitudes, and behaviours (practices) to prevent pregnancy disorders, includ- ing eclampsia. Materials and Methods Design study The study design was a cross-sectional study conducted in two stages. The first stage identified the mobile application content needs for eclampsia prevention, and the second stage of develop- ment of the mobile application referred to the specified content result and then collaboration with Internet Technology experts. After the mobile application was developed, the level of usability of the mobile application was tested. If the mobile application has a positive response, the mobile application is already applied. The research took place from March 2022 to May 2022, com- mencing with the initial stage of questionnaire testing in collabo- ration with several Maternity Clinics. The study was conducted in 10 health centres, selected based on having the highest referral cases of severe pre-eclampsia, as per data from the District Health Office Karawang’s dashboard at https://www.sijariemas.org/. This study received approval from the Ethical Commission of the Bandung Ministry of Health Polytechnic. Population and sample Population: This study targets pregnant mothers and their spouses. The sampling technique involved accidental sampling across ten public health centres, resulting in a total sample size of 86 respondents based on sample size calculations. Inclusion criteria: Pre-eclampsia mothers with a gestational age greater than 20 weeks, who have a spouse, and possess an Android phone. Additionally, the spouse of the pre-eclampsia mother should also have an Android cellphone. Exclusion criteria: Any conditions falling outside the defined inclusion criteria Data collection Data is collected in two stages. The first stage identified was determining the material needs in applications related to prevent- ing pregnancy disorders (eclampsia) in pregnant mothers. The number of questionnaires is 20 statements, with answer categories five = Very Needed (NV), 4 = Needed (N), 3 = Not Very Needed (NVN), 2 = Not Needed (NN), 1 = Very Not Needed (VNN). The second stage of development of the mobile application referred to the identified content result and then collaboration with Internet Technology experts. After the mobile application was developed, the level of usability of the mobile application was measured. The measuring variable consists of 10 statements of the mobile appli- cation’s usability and positive comments (numbers 1, 3, 5, 7 and 9) and negative statements (numbers 2, 4, 6, and 10). Each statement consists of 5 categories on the Likert scale; statement positive with a score of 5 = Strongly agree, a score e 4 = Agree, score of 3 = Neutraa l, score e 2 = Disagree e, sof core 1 = Strongly Disagree, otherwise a negative statement score 5 = Strongly disagree, score 4 = Disagree, score 3 = Neutral, score 2 = agree, score 1 = Strongly agree to Respond ability and ease level The application is categorised into three groups: positive responses, neutral responses, and negative responses. A positive response occurs when the respondent selects item scores 5-4 (Strongly Agree and Agree) for a positive statement and item scores 1-2 (Strongly Disagree and Disagree) for a negative state- ment. A response is categorised as neutral if the respondent selects a score of 3 (Neutral), and it is considered a negative response if the respondent chooses a score of 1 or 2 (Strongly Disagree or Disagree) for a positive statement and a score of 4 or 5 (Strongly Agree or Agree) for a negative statement. Data analysis The variables analysed univariately included 1) Socio-demo- graphic data, 2) the Need for Communication Information, Education (CIE) for developing content applications, and 3) The telehealth usability test. Data analysis was conducted by presenting the results of descriptive data analysis. Since all data are categori- cal, the study involved frequency distribution and data presentation in percentages (%).

The results are explained as follows: Figure 1 shows the main menu of the mobile application, including profile, information, communication, background, and log-out menus. The menu also provides contact and coordination between the health worker, mother and spouse. Table 1 reviews 20 items of closed statements on the level of IEC needs. Among the 114 respondents (60 pregnant women with pre-eclampsia, 26 pairs of pregnant women, and 28 health workers), over 70% indicated a strong level of need. Notably, the highest percentages in the ‘Strongly Needed (SN)’ category were found for another pregnan- cy danger signs at 78.9%, Preparation for childbirth financing at 79.8%, What the husband should do at 78.1%, Explanation of why you have to take medicine at 80.7%, the role of the family in check activities at 78.9%, and the fulfilment of nutrition during pregnan- cy at 81.6%. In Table 2 and Table 3, involving 60 pregnant women with pre- eclampsia, the most significant percentages in the ‘Strongly Needed (SN)’ category were found for another pregnancy danger sign (76.7%), Preparation for maternity financing (76.7%), What the husband should do (75%), an explanation of why you have to take medicine (75%), the role of the family in check activities (75%), and the fulfilment of nutrition during pregnancy (76.7%), as well as the reason for maternity at home while sick (77.2%). As for the husbands of pregnant women, in terms of 20 items of closed statements regarding the level of need for IEC and coor- dination, all of which indicated a demand level of over 80%, with the most significant statement items being the causes of pre- eclampsia and eclampsia, what husbands should do, nutritional ful- filment of pregnant women, and information on the telephone numbers of officers, each scoring 96.2%. Additionally, items relat- ed to IEC and coordination that were ‘Strongly Needed (SN)’ included the understanding of pre-eclampsia and eclampsia at 82.1%, an explanation of why you have to take medication at 82.1%, the frequency of prenatal check-ups visits at 78.6%, and the fulfilment of nutrition for pregnant mothers at 78.6%. In Table 4, Statement 1 (+), ‘I like the use of this application,’ was met with a positive response from pregnant women with pre-eclampsia and their husbands, with a score of 5-4, indicating a positive response for both. For Statement 2 (-), ‘this application is too complicated,’ 50% of the responses were positive, and 50% were neutral from pregnant women, while partners (husbands of pregnant women) responded with 90% positive and 10% neutral responses. Statement 3 (+), ‘this application is easy to use,’ received a 90% positive response from pre-eclampsia mothers, with 10% provid- ing a neutral response, while the partners showed 100% positive responses. Statement 4 (-), ‘the need for assistance to use this application,’ received positive responses from 60 respondents (60% positive and 40% neutral) for pre-eclampsia mothers, while husbands provided 90% positive and 10% neutral responses. In Statement 5 (+), ‘The contents of this application are well-struc- tured and interconnected,’ 80% of pregnant women gave a positive response, while 100% of their husbands gave a positive response. For Statement 6 (-), ‘This application is not steady (confusing),’ 80% of pre-eclampsia mothers gave a positive response, 20% pro- vided a neutral response, while all husbands gave a positive response. Statement 7 (+), ‘learn to use this application very quick- ly,’ was met with 100% positive responses from pre-eclampsia mothers.

Health apps have effec- tively tracked patient-reported outcomes during and after treat- ment, although many of these applications are specifically designed for cancer patients.20 Furthermore, we have observed the acceptability and feasibility of remote training platforms for treat- ment adherence.21 A website or mobile application to support maternal education should include information and resources for individual attention and social support. Its impact on the health and satisfaction of women should be evaluated in various settings.12 The knowledge and attitudes of preeclampsia mothers and their spouses need to be enhanced, along with promoting better self-care. In addition, the application can save them time.22 Referring to the study results, the use of mobile applications for pregnant women at high risk of pre-eclampsia provides insights that can be directly applied to future designs aimed at reducing mortality and morbidity from pre-eclampsia and eclampsia.15 There is a relationship between the need for a practical approach model, stemming from the low knowledge, attitudes, and practices of preventing eclampsia in pregnant women, and the sig- nificant involvement of the family or husband,7 An increasing role of communication, information, and education through media that is effective, easy to use, and understandable by families and pre- eclampsia mothers is the right solution. Communication is a mes- sage, either verbal or written, or a series of statements with order sequences or meanings that can be interpreted from notifications or collections of letters. Education refers to the process of learning and the transmission of habits within a group of people from one generation to the next through teaching and training.23 The definition of coordination involves synchronised and sys- tematic efforts to allocate the right resources and direct the execu- tion of actions in harmony with predetermined goals.24 CIE is a combination of words that convey interconnected meanings, rein- forcing each word to create complete sentences that are significant for transferring and receiving messages about a situation. It serves an educational purpose to promote cooperation and function. Coordination and collaboration in telehealth are vital for establish- ing harmonious communication between families/pregnant women and healthcare providers.25 Technology will continually evolve, and humans will never be disconnected from it. One form of technological development is using the Internet through Android devices. The use of the Internet on Android devices has the effect of changing how people respond to information and communication behaviour.26 The internet has significantly influenced lifestyle changes due to technological advancements.27 His statement conveyed that the development of information and communication technology and the widespread impact of globalisation have changed how people live, interact, learn and redefined the concept of cultural identity. The Internet renders traditional notions of space, time, and distance meaning- less and even obsolete. Everyone can access information anytime, anywhere, regardless of physical distance, which can help over- come issues related to the user population, such as language varia- tions, cost constraints, and internet accessibility. The new applica- tion also offers features with new icons and customisation options that users can easily understand.28 Telehealth is rooted in the current digital era. It’s important to note that 196.7 million, or 73.7% of Indonesia’s population, are internet-literate.29 This is a situation that has led to everyone avoid- ing direct contact due to the COVID-19 outbreak, one of the con- sequences of which is the impact on pregnancy check-ups. As a study has shown, the average volume of weekly prenatal visits decreased by 16.1%, from 898 to 761 weekly visits.30 This has an impact on the inadequate monitoring of pregnant women with pre- eclampsia, resulting in a relatively high risk of pregnancy disor- ders, including eclampsia. Conclusions The research findings indicated that nearly all respondents required information and education on preventing eclampsia. The content of the application consisted of 20 items, which were con- sidered suitable for addressing these needs. The results of the usability test showed that pre-eclampsia mothers and their spouses responded positively to the application and found it easy to use. This favourable feedback has significant implications for improv- ing knowledge and awareness regarding the prevention of preg- nancy disorders, particularly eclampsia. References 1.
