Introduction: The rapid advancement of mobile health (m-Health) technologies has revolutionized healthcare delivery, particularly in resource-limited settings. The Safe Delivery App is designed to provide evidence-based guidelines for maternal and neonatal care.
Aim: This study aimed to assess the effectiveness of nurse led educational programme on knowledge regarding mLearning Safe Delivery App among staff nurses in selected hospital.
Materials and Methods: Quantitative research approach, Pre-Experimental research design with one group pre and posttest was chosen. The study was conducted at GKMCH in Chennai. Seventy samples who met the inclusion criteria were chosen by the convenient sampling technique. Data were collected by using structured questionnaire.The Safe Delivery App was downloaded in each participant’s Android mobile and taught about the App module, content and its usage. The post test was done after a week.
Results: The findings of the study revealed that in pre-test among 70 samples 67 (96%) had inadequate knowledge, 3 (4%) had moderate knowledge. In post-test 48 (69%) had moderate knowledge, 22 (31%) had adequate knowledge and none of them had inadequate knowledge regarding mLearning Safe Delivery App. The post test scores mean value was 16.19 with SD of 3.3. The Paired t test value was 36.124 which was significant at the P < 0.01 level.
Conclusion: This present study concluded that Nurse led Educational programme through the mLearning platform, the app allows the staff nurses to practice and test their knowledge and skills interactively and at their own time and pace.Safe Delivery App has proven to be an effective strategy for enhancing staff nurses knowledge and proficiency in utilizing mobile technology for safe delivery practices and thereby empowering the nurses in rendering the high quality care
