Abstract
Background: First-time mothers require greater nursing accompaniment in the postpartum period due to their lack of expertise and preparation for the new challenges of motherhood. Information and communication technologies (ICTCs) allow easy access to learning habits for the transition into motherhood; however, the lack of technological appropriation for postpartum monitoring becomes evident in developing countries and in the Western world. Methods: This study developed the Amacompri postpartum nursing tracking information system, which is based on Mercer's theory of becoming a mother and discusses the vital environment: First-time mother’s family and friends. The Amacompri software was designed using the SCRUM methodology, java web technologies and PostgreSQL database. Results: This information system features a web version and a mobile App. The technical validation involved 10 experts, and the validation by population 10 first-time mothers. This first group reviewed the quality of presentation and content in the early stages of the software. Finally, the Amacompri system was used for 4 months by 33 first-time mothers, who evaluated the application for design, usability, and applicability. Amacompri software was effective for non-face-to-face nursing accompaniment to first-time mothers. Conclusions: The Amacompri software was designed based on Mercer's theory of becoming a mother, and has been technically validated (experts) and validated by population (first mothers), demonstrating its quality in both presentation and content. Its evaluation demonstrated its effectiveness in meeting the development objective. In this context, the Amacompri software meets multimedia requirements in the functional, technical-esthetic, and pedagogical aspects.
Highlights
Women in transition to motherhood, especially first-time mothers, experience high vulnerability, because of the new challenges they face and for which they are ill prepared [1,2,3]
