Summary
A new health management app for nursing students was developed and tested. Students reported positive user experiences and usability with the app, which provides health recommendations based on collected data.
Area of Science:
- Digital Health
- Nursing Education
- Health Informatics
Background:
- Technology integration in healthcare is rapidly increasing.
- Health monitoring applications are being developed for nursing students.
- University nursing colleges can leverage health-monitoring devices for student wellness.
Purpose of the Study:
- To detail the development process of a health management app for nursing students.
- To assess the user experience and usability of this health management app.
Main Methods:
- A descriptive, cross-sectional study design was employed.
- The study involved app design and utilized an online questionnaire for user feedback.
- Data were collected from 283 nursing students between July 2020 and May 2023.
Main Results:
- The health management app collects and analyzes physical data to offer health recommendations.
- Usability scores averaged 3.68/5, and user experience scores ranged from 3.63/5 to 3.70/5.
- The questionnaire indicated positive user feedback regarding the app's functionality and design.
Conclusions:
- The developed health management app demonstrates effectiveness and positive user reception among nursing students.
- Insights into the design, efficacy, and user experience of this app are valuable for future digital health interventions in education.
- The study highlights the potential of mobile health applications in supporting student well-being and health monitoring within academic settings.

The evaluation stage signals the end of the nursing process. The nurse gathers evaluative data to assess whether or not the patient has attained the expected results. Whereas the nurse collects data in the nursing assessment to identify the patient's health concerns, the evaluation stage data determines if the indicated health issues are resolved. Evaluative data collection includes two sections: the data acquired to evaluate patient outcomes and the time criteria for data collection.

Implementation is the execution of the nursing care plan developed during the planning phase.
The five steps to implementing effective nursing care include reassessing the patient, reviewing and revising the existing nursing care plan, organizing the resources and care delivery, anticipating and preventing complications, and implementing nursing interventions.

01:24Nursing Process for Patient and Caregiver Teaching II: Planning and Implementation
1.1K
Planning for learning involves the development of a teaching plan. Teaching plans are similar to nursing care plans—both follow the steps of the nursing process. Planning in the teaching process involves setting goals and outcomes. Here, goals identify what a patient needs to achieve to understand a healthcare topic better, whereas the outcomes are the action to be performed by the patient to achieve the goal within a timeframe. For example, if the goal is to educate the patient about...

Evaluation of the teaching process enables the nurse to determine if the patient's learning needs were met and if training was effective. If the expected outcomes are not met, the care plan is revised, and additional education or reinforcement is provided. Nurses can ask questions after the session or obtain feedback to assess the patient's understanding of the topic.
Nurses can use several methods to evaluate patient outcomes. For example, oral questions can assess cognitive learning,...

An integrated healthcare system (IHS) is a set of organizations that provides for or arranges to provide coordinated and continuous service to a defined population. The IHS takes responsibility for that particular population's health status and outcome, both clinically and fiscally. An integrated healthcare system is a well-organized, well-coordinated, and collaborative network. The integrated delivery system is a network that connects different healthcare providers to deliver organized,...
