Abstract:
Providing knowledge and support for caring relatives with the smartphone - the MoCaB project Abstract. Background: Caring relatives often have a lack of knowledge of illness and care options. Surveys, as part of the MoCaB (Mobile Care Backup) project, showed that this is often experienced as a burden. Aim: The aim is to support caring relatives by increasing their knowledge. Therefore care-relevant knowledge and instructions for self-care should be provided according to their needs. Methods: The core element of the mobile application, personalized knowledge transfer in dialogue form, will be developed in a participative process with potential users. The relevant evidence-based nursing knowledge was reviewed by experts and written down for the target group. Results: So far, 86 relevant topics have been identified and formulated. First usability tests showed that the content itself, the used expressions and the presentation via the MoCaB app are well received. Outlook: In a next step, the app will be tested in the home setting with caring relatives and, in order to identify any further need and areas for improvement.
