Brief Summary

Brief Summary - PcyCare (Pregnancy Care Aplication) (with expert participants) Objective: This study aims to evaluate the feasibility and usefulness of the PcyCare self-directed education platform for pregnant women. This platform provides information on nutrition, pregnancy warning signs, mental health, and childbirth preparation. Key questions: Is PcyCare easy to use for pregnant women? Do the platform's materials and features help improve participants' understanding of pregnancy and childbirth? How do subject matter experts and information technology experts assess the quality of the platform's content and features? Procedure: Pregnant women will use PcyCare for one week, accessing educational materials, watching videos, and completing interactive quizzes. Their understanding and experience will be evaluated through feasibility and satisfaction questionnaires. Content experts (midwifery lecturers/practicing midwives) and media/IT experts will assess the suitability of the platform's content and features through expert reviews and provide suggestions for improvement. Expected results: Information about ease of use, content quality, effectiveness of interactive features, and input from experts to refine the platform before wider trials.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Usability of PcyCare Platform by Pregnant Women assessed using a Custom User Experience Questionnaire

  The assessment evaluated PcyCare platform usability by pregnant women using a 30-item feasibility questionnaire across six dimensions: navigation, interactivity, material accessibility, comfort, usefulness, and overall satisfaction. The form covered respondent identity and quantitative ratings on a 4-point Likert scale (1=Not appropriate to 4=Very appropriate). Scores ranged from 30-120, with feasibility defined as ≥3.00 (Feasible), 2.50-2.99 (Conditionally Feasible), and \<2.50 (Not Feasible). Ten pregnant women participated. Results showed strong validity: 22 items scored I-CVI=1.00, 8 items I-CVI=0.75, yielding S-CVI=0.93. This indicates the instrument demonstrates high content validity and effectively measures user experiences and platform feasibility.
