This study evaluated the impact of mobile app health education on caregiver readiness, and found that providing education through smartphone applications is a feasible and acceptable approach.
Family caregivers often lack preparation to provide care at home to manage symptoms for patients with life -limiting illnesses. Nurse practitioners can be instrumental in enhancing caregiver readiness by educating relatives about symptom management. Mobile application (app) health education provides one solution. We evaluated the acceptability and initial effectiveness of mobile app health education intended to improve caregiver readiness among 50 family caregivers. Caregiver readiness was measured using the Caregiving Index before and after the 30-day intervention. Mobile app health education improved the caregiver read-iness for the intervention group. Our findings demonstrate feasibility and acceptability for delivering edu-cation to family caregivers through a smartphone app. (c) 2022 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
