Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The goal of this randomize controlled trial determine the effect of the mobile application developed for the care of sick newborns in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit on nurses' perception of nursing diagnoses and care that cannot be met, and to measure the usability of the mobile application. The main questions it aims to answer are; Does the mobile application developed for the care provided in the neonatal intensive care unit have an effect on the perception of nursing diagnoses? Does the mobile application developed for care provided in the neonatal intensive care unit have an impact on "missed nursing care? Participants will be used for 3 months from the developed mobile application. The control group will continue routine nursing care.

Researchers will compare the perception of nursing diagnosis and unaffordable nursing care survey at the end of month 1 and month 3. Additionally, the usability of the mobile application will be evaluated by applying the system applicability scale to the experimental group.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Mobile application has become an important and necessary element in nursing education and clinical nursing practices, and its use has gradually increased. Neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) are areas where complex and quality health care is provided for newborns. The development of the nursing process, especially in the neonatal intensive care unit, may shorten the duration of the care that should be provided to newborns. New ways such as mobile applications can be sought to assist in the realization of the nursing process and to strengthen the diagnostic perception of neonatal nurses. This study is a randomized controlled experimental study designed to determine the effect of the mobile application developed for the care of sick newborns in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit on nurses' perception of nursing diagnoses and care that cannot be met, and to measure the usability of the mobile application. A total of 69 nurses working in the neonatal intensive care unit in turkey will constitute the universe of the research. In this study, participants will be selected for experimental and control groups using a stratified random sampling method (the stratification criteria will be based on the institutions where the nurses work). The sample will be calculated as experimental group: 27 control group: 27 in total. Samples from the identified will be selected using the random numbers table.

In this study, Nurse Descriptive Characteristics Form; Nursing Diagnosis Perception Scale ; Questionnaire for Determining "missed nursing care" in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit created by the researcher ; System Usability Scale will be used. For the missed nursing care nursing care determination questionnaire, expert opinion was taken and applied to the pilot group, and its content validity was checked.

Mobile Application Group

In the collection of Mobile Application data, they will be asked to fill out the forms.The mobile application will be introduced, the application will be downloaded from the virtual market (Google Play Store or App Store) to the phone, login will be provided by giving a user name and password, and how to use the application will be explained. Participants will be asked to provide nursing care using this application once a week for 3 months. Nursing Diagnosis Perception Scale with nurses at the end of the 1st month and at the end of the 3rd month; " MıssCare" Detection Questionnaire in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit; System Availability Scale will be applied.
