Usability and Quality Evaluation of the “E- Midwife” Mobile Application for NurseMidwives in Obstetric Complications: A Randomized Controlled Trial

---

Background: Obstetric complications are illnesses that develop during childbirth. Smartphones,
which facilitate the use of prompt features in the early diagnosis of challenges and quick delivery of
respectful maternity care, are one of the most recent advances in health technology. The key objective
of this project is to evaluate the usability and quality of the “E-Midwife” mobile application for nursemidwives, which focuses on obstetric complications.
Methods: This study is a component of a randomized controlled trial on nurse-midwives. This project
followed a four-step approach: content development phase, app design phase, app development phase,
and usability testing phase. The app was developed using extensive flowcharts, a definition of the
navigational framework, a structured database, and user-friendly software. 140 out of the 196 nursemidwives were allocated to the intervention (n=70) and control group (n=70), using random allocation.
The intervention group used the application for 8 weeks. Usability and quality of the application were
assessed using the system usability scale and the mobile application rating scale, respectively. SPSS
statistical software, version 17, was used to analyze the data
Results: The overall score of the usability testing of E-Midwife was 82.75±0.68. The total mean score
of quality was 3.77±0.86. Therefore, it was shown to have good usability and quality.
Conclusion: The E-midwife mobile application has a high usability and quality which makes its usage
effective and efficient. It is recommended that these similar mobile apps should be used along with
other educational methods for educating the nurse-midwives.
Trial Registration Number: CTRI/2022/03/040857.
