Background and AimsHypospadias, a congenital anomaly, can have long‐term effects on sexual, urinary, and reproductive functions, making proper postoperative care essential for desirable outcomes, which could be facilitated through a mobile application for diseases with long‐term complications. The aim of this study was to investigate the data and functional requirements or minimum data set of a postoperative education mobile application for caregivers of children with hypospadias.MethodsA literature review of papers published until April 2023 using Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta‐Analyses (PRISMA) statement was conducted to determine the data and functional requirements of a mobile application that provides postoperative education to caregivers of children with congenital hypospadias. Based on the results, a questionnaire was prepared, and its content validity and reliability were evaluated by CVI and CVR. Additionally, data was examined by 30 residents, specialists, and subspecialists in pediatric surgery using the Delphi approach.ResultsThe study identified 28 data elements in three main categories: demographic data, clinical data, and application function. Functional requirements of the mobile application were suggested for use in designing the application. Also, the most critical data elements included the definition of disease, the importance of treatment, surgical preparation, bandage, hygiene, symptoms and infection, bleeding, and emergency condition.ConclusionThe study will pave the way for developing postoperative educational applications for caregivers of children with congenital hypospadias. M‐Health app developers and clinician specialists can utilize these findings to design practical applications that assist caregivers in managing the care of hypospadias patients.

Background/aim Urethroplasty is the preferred treatment for hypospadias but is affected by the severity of anomalies, making it a complex procedure with potential postoperative complications. Following surgery, parents receive instructions and recommendations, whether from nurses or physicians, regardless of complication rates. However, nurses play a crucial role in educating caregivers before surgery and providing postoperative care during follow-up. The study aims to assess parents’ knowledge and practices, as well as the frequency of complications in boys who underwent urethroplasty for hypospadias and received postoperative nurse-led care and whose parents received preoperative education against those of boys who underwent urethroplasty under routine hospital care. Materials and methods In this retrospective study, Han Chinese boys aged 21–41 months in Western China who underwent urethroplasty for hypospadias were divided into two groups: the NI cohort (n = 103), where they received postoperative nurse-led care and their parents received preoperative education, and the RH cohort (n = 142), where boys underwent routine hospital care. Results After urethroplasty, higher numbers of caregivers with satisfactory knowledge (96 (93%) vs. 80 (56%), p < 0.0001) and practice (102 (99%) vs. 132 (93%), p = 0.0276) were reported in the NI cohort compared to the RH cohort. Additionally, a higher number of boys in the RH cohort experienced adverse effects such as moderate bleeding (13 (9%) vs. 1 (1%), p = 0.0052), wound infection (17 (12%) vs. 4 (4%), p = 0.0356), urinary obstruction (35 (25%) vs. 10 (10%), p = 0.0049), burning sensation (47 (33%) vs. 15 (15%), p = 0.0019), and urinary stent fall (32 (23%) vs. 6 (6%), p = 0.0008) compared to those in the NI cohort. Conclusion Preoperative instructions enhance caregivers’ knowledge and practices following urethroplasty, while postoperative nurse-led care reduces immediate postoperative complications associated with hypospadias in boys.
