Abstract

BACKGROUND

Introduction: In the postpartum phase, women undergo intense bodily and emotional changes that occur in a truly short phase. Easily accessible and reliable information is important for self-care behaviors to be properly adopted. Objective: Developing a health application with information about the puerperal phase, with content based on scientific evidence. Method: This is a methodological study involving 40 participants, of these 10 obstetric health professionals, 10 in technology and 20 puerperal women. The application was developed with React Native technology. The health participants evaluated the content of the application, the result of which was given by the Content Validity Index, the technology professionals answered the questionnaire validated for the appearance of the software and the puerperal women answered the System Usability Scale (SUS), evaluating the usability of the application. Results: Content validation was mediated by the Likert scale and obtained a score of 0.97. Regarding the appearance of the application, there were 0.86 positive responses, being favorable for approval. Usability was evaluated using the SUS scale where it obtained a score of 98.5. The answers to the questionnaire showed good reliability, according to the validation analysis by Cronbach’s alpha coefficient (value: 0.71), and the application showed excellent acceptance, with an average score of 98.5 on the SUS scale. Conclusion: “Towards motherhood” presents itself as a valid mobile application to promote self-care.
