Abstract

PURPOSE
To develop educational material about nutrition during antepartum period for women pregnant with twins by using smartphone applications.
METHODS
A series of steps according to ADDIE model, including Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation were used to develop smartphone application of antepartum nutrition care for women pregnant with twins.
RESULTS
Based on experts' evaluation, the average score was 4.6±0.39 in total. Content score was 4.7±0.40. Interface design score was 4.5±0.55. Content score was higher than interface design score. User evaluation was conducted in the form of interview. Results of interviews revealed that users generally responded positively to the accuracy, understanding, and objectivity for content items of the smartphone app. As for the evaluation of consistency for the evaluation item of interface design, users answered "ordinary" or "generally yes". For design suitability and accuracy of vocabulary, they answered "˜generally suitable'.
CONCLUSION
The smartphone app developed through this study is expected to aid antepartum care for women pregnant with twins. It will also contribute to health promotion of both pregnant women and twin fetus.
