Trial Outcomes & Findings for The Effect of the Mobile Application Developed for the Care of Sick Newborns (NCT NCT05776615)

NCT ID: NCT05776615

Last Updated: 2026-01-23

Results Overview

Nurse Descriptive Characteristics Form: A 19-item questionnaire (18 closed, 1 open-ended) developed from the literature to collect demographic and professional information including education, experience, NICU background, work schedule, caregiving practices, nursing process use, and mobile app use. Scoring: Descriptive only. Nursing Diagnosis Perception Scale: A 20-item, 5-point Likert scale (1 = Strongly agree, 5 = Strongly disagree) assessing four subscales-Professional definition, Clarity, Ease of use, Conceptual dimension. Score range: 1-5 (mean). Lower scores indicate more positive perceptions. MissCare Nursing Care Questionnaire in the NICU: A 69-item, 4-point Likert tool (1 = Always performed, 4 = Never performed) evaluating missed care in ten domains; lower scores reflect more complete care.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Before starting the intervention

Population: 1 person left her job due to pregnancy

Nurse Descriptive Characteristics Form: A 19-item questionnaire (18 closed, 1 open-ended) developed from the literature to collect demographic and professional information including education, experience, NICU background, work schedule, caregiving practices, nursing process use, and mobile app use. Scoring: Descriptive only. Nursing Diagnosis Perception Scale: A 20-item, 5-point Likert scale (1 = Strongly agree, 5 = Strongly disagree) assessing four subscales-Professional definition, Clarity, Ease of use, Conceptual dimension. Score range: 1-5 (mean). Lower scores indicate more positive perceptions. MissCare Nursing Care Questionnaire in the NICU: A 69-item, 4-point Likert tool (1 = Always performed, 4 = Never performed) evaluating missed care in ten domains; lower scores reflect more complete care.
