Brief Summary

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

The purpose of this project is to develop and test an integrated mHealth learning program (L-mHealth program) for gynecological cancer that integrates effective educational strategies and mobile health application to meet the learning needs of Taiwanese Women with Gynecological Cancer (WGC) through the process of co-creation, with the active input of WGC and experts' directly impacting content and design. This project was to develop the L-mHealth system and prototype of a smartphone app for WGC through the process of co-creation, with the active input of WGC and experts' directly impacting content and design.

Detailed Description

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

The second year research purpose is to establish the L-mHealth program's framework, which according to the needs assessment and health education strategies of the first year. The L-mHealth system will be then developed according to the course framework use TTM theory and self-efficacy theory as the basis. A single-blinded, randomized controlled parallel-group clinical trial with repeated- measures research will be conducted in the third year. A total of 120 ovarian cancer women will be recruited from a medical center in northern Taiwan and then assigned to one of two groups (the experiment and control groups) by stratified randomization. Women were randomized either to the intervention group (n=60) receiving the L-mHealth program plus care as usual or the control group (n=60) receiving care as usual alone. Data will be collected at baseline (T0), 1 months (T1) and 3 months (T2) after the intervention. Co-creation is a user-involved process that can create a useful and customized product for the WGC target population. As such, this process is a beneficial process to tilize when addressing the specific needs of WGC. Through the study of the L-mHealth program, it is expected to improve women's use of ICT and demonstrate its potential as an effective and easily accessible intervention to promote women's symptom interference and quality of life for WGC.
