“…Another evaluation investigation into a prototype mobile application on breastfeeding for healthcare professionals – the target audience for which the technology was intended – was also positively evaluated by participants, with the majority of evaluations classified as excellent or good ( 31 ) . Internationally, in evaluating the usability and usefulness of a mobile application entitled “MoomMae”, developed in Thailand through quantitative and qualitative research, with a sample of 21 women, it also found a positive evaluation, demonstrating that the application has a great potential to be a useful self-management tool for breastfeeding mothers in Thailand ( 28 ) .…”

An evaluation instrument containing questions about semantics and appearance was applied, in addition to the System Usability Scale to evaluate usability. In data analysis, the Agreement Index was used, with a cutoff point of 0.8 (80%). Results: when evaluating semantics and appearance, the application achieved a Global Agreement Index of 0.99 (99%), varying from 0.95 (95%) to 1.0 (100%) between the items evaluated. In usability, a global average of 93 was achieved, presenting the best usability achievable in all system characteristics. Conclusion: the technology was considered understandable, relevant, and efficient, as well as easy to use and low inconsistency with high user satisfaction, demonstrating excellent potential for families.

“…(27) O uso de aplicativos móveis pode ser uma importante ferramenta para o profissional no suporte e apoio às práticas de aleitamento materno, facilitando a comunicação com as mulheres no período pós-parto, favorecendo o acesso a conteúdo e a treinamentos on-line para aprimorar habilidades técnicas. (28) Nesse sentido, é importante refletir que o enfermeiro pode aliar cuidados de ordem técnica à aplicação de tecnologias relacionais a fim de amenizar os efeitos negativos do ambiente de terapia intensiva para as mães/pais. Nesse contexto, as tecnologias educativas emergem como importantes aliadas para a realização de esclarecimentos sobre a UTIN, além de auxiliarem no preparo dessas mães, para que prestem cuidados adequados aos filhos.…”

O objetivo desta revisão é analisar a produção sobre os aplicativos móveis como instrumento de apoio às mães/pais no processo de amamentação do recém-nascido prematuro na unidade neonatal e identificar os aplicativos móveis disponíveis na Google Play Store relacionados à amamentação de recém-nascidos prematuros em unidade neonatal. A Revisão integrativa foi realizada em novembro 2021 nas bases de dados: Biblioteca Virtual de Saúde, Portal PubMed Central, Cochrane Library, Scopus, Cinahl e na plataforma Sucupira com os seguintes descritores: "Recém-Nascido Prematuro", "Aleitamento Materno", "Aplicativos Móveis", "Unidades de Terapia Intensiva Neonatal", e seus correspondentes em inglês: "Mobile phone", "Premature Infant", "Intensive Care Units, Neonatal" e "Breast Feeding". Cabe destacar que, para as produções selecionadas que referenciaram os nomes dos aplicativos, foi realizada uma busca na Plataforma Google Play Store a fim de localizar informações sobre a disponibilidade e validação do aplicativo. Além disso, também fez-se outra busca na plataforma digital Google Play Store em dezembro de 2020. Na busca das bases científicas selecionaram-se quatro produções. Dessas, duas foram dissertações de mestrado realizadas e publicadas no Brasil na língua portuguesa, um artigo no Irã e um na Espanha, ambos publicados na língua inglesa. Quanto ao tipo de estudo, duas produções eram de cunho metodológico, uma foi um estudo experimental sem randomização e a outra um estudo observacional. Das quatro produções, uma foi sobre um aplicativo voltado exclusivamente para a amamentação, para ser utilizado tanto na unidade neonatal quanto no ambiente domiciliar. Três produções tratavam de aplicativos no contexto da unidade neonatal, mas não eram aplicativos voltados exclusivamente para a amamentação. Na busca na Google Play Store foram selecionados quatro aplicativos. Dois deles se destinavam exclusivamente para o recémnascido prematuro e dois para recém-nascidos independentemente da idade gestacional. Apenas um aplicativo era para uso exclusivo em unidade neonatal. Evidencia-se que foram poucas as produções científicas e aplicativos encontrados direcionados a mães/pais de recém-nascidos prematuros com o fim exclusivo de apoiar o início e a manutenção da amamentação nas unidades neonatais.

Introduction: ShishuPoshan is a free Android application for mothers that provides scientific guidance on breastfeeding and baby care issues in the local language. We aimed to assess its effect and acceptability in primi mothers in a rural area of Maharashtra, India. Material and Methods: A before and after study was conducted in 50 primi mothers to study the acceptability and effect of ShishuPoshan mHealth application on knowledge, attitude and practice about breastfeeding in primi mothers in a rural tertiary care hospital. Results: Most participants (84%) downloaded the application, and 60% used it regularly. Major reason for not using the app was discomfort with mobile phone (7%) and not having anyone to read the content in the house (7%). The application was easy to use by 48%, and 10% did not find time to use it. Enablers were regional language, easy-to-understand content, simple interface, and frequently asked question (FAQ) format to give information. Barriers to adoption were that women preferred tips from family members, were uncomfortable with mobile phones, and did not have anyone to help them use them. Conclusion: It successfully delivered key messages like exclusive breastfeeding, colostrum use, proper maternal nutrition, and demand to feed, but it needs to further emphasise early initiation of feeding. Incorporation of feedback like adding videos, myth busters, and making app more interactive may further improve its effectiveness. mHealth interventions like ShishuPoshan are promising modalities for the dissemination of appropriate information.
