Description
Background: The ease of use of mobile health applications felt by users is
essential to ensure the sustainability of digital-based intervention programs.
The mHealth Chemo Assist for Children (CAC) application has been used
by parents with children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) who
are undergoing chemotherapy in usability tests and positive benefits felt
by users have been reported. A deeper understanding of the barriers and
factors supporting implementing the CAC mHealth application can help
guide strategies to overcome these challenges.
Purpose: This study aims to evaluate the obstacles and factors supporting
implementing mHealth CAC application in a natural setting.
Methods: Qualitative research was conducted at two government hospitals
in Indonesia. Focus group discussions were conducted with nine parents
of children with ALL following chemotherapy. The interview was transcribed
verbatim and analyzed using qualitative content analysis.
Results: This research produced three main themes, namely the use of
CAC and additional usage expectations, application quality, and current and
future application usage.
Conclusion: It is necessary to improve the benefit, ease of use of
application features and overcome the obstacles experienced in using the
CAC application.
