Nurses' experiences of using mHealth apps for risk reduction and chronic condition management: A qualitative descriptive study

Exploring nurses' experience with mHealth apps is crucial for improving the uptake of this technology in usual care. Nurses recognise the potential of mHealth apps to increase health literacy and patient independence, but often lack confidence in using them in practice. Therefore, it is essential to prepare nurses to integrate mHealth apps into their routine practice. This can be achieved by developing a clear framework for mHealth app appraisal and providing the necessary education and training to utilise this framework effectively.

Abstract

Exploring nurses' experience with mHealth apps is crucial for improving the uptake of this technology in usual care. Nurses recognise the potential of mHealth apps to increase health literacy and patient independence, but often lack confidence in using them in practice. Therefore, it is essential to prepare nurses to integrate mHealth apps into their routine practice. This can be achieved by developing a clear framework for mHealth app appraisal and providing the necessary education and training to utilise this framework effectively.
