Abstract

ObjectiveDevelopment and evaluation of a mobile application for remote monitoring and guidance of pediatric patients diagnosed with cleft lip and/or palate (CL ± P) and their caregivers.DesignThis is a pilot cross-sectional, applied, and quantitative study.SettingThe study was conducted in two tertiary care treatment centers in Brazil.ParticipantsThe participants included 20 caregivers and infants undergoing treatment with nasoalveolar molding (NAM) for CL ± P.InterventionsThe intervention involved using the TeleCleft mobile application for remote monitoring and guidance of caregivers and infants during NAM treatment.Main Outcome Measure(s)The main outcome measures included usability and satisfaction of users with the TeleCleft application.ResultsThe results showed high usability and satisfaction ratings among users of the TeleCleft application. Most participants found remote monitoring to be effective and expressed positive opinions about its convenience and usefulness.ConclusionTeleCleft could be a viable tool for remote monitoring and guidance, reducing the need for patients and caregivers to travel to treatment centers, which could potentially alleviate the burden of care faced by families during the journey of CL ± P treatment.

TeleCleft：开发和评估用于监测裂隙患者的移动应用程序。

目的开发和评估一款移动应用程序，用于远程监控和指导被诊断为唇裂和/或腭裂（CL±P）的儿科患者及其护理人员：设计：这是一项试验性横断面应用定量研究：研究在巴西的两家三级护理治疗中心进行：参与者包括20名护理人员和正在接受鼻腔成型术（NAM）治疗CL±P的婴儿：干预措施包括使用 TeleCleft 移动应用程序，在 NAM 治疗期间对护理人员和婴儿进行远程监控和指导：主要结果测量指标包括用户对 TeleCleft 应用程序的可用性和满意度：结果表明，TeleCleft 应用程序的用户对其可用性和满意度评价很高。大多数参与者认为远程监控是有效的，并对其便利性和实用性表示肯定：TeleCleft可以作为一种可行的远程监控和指导工具，减少患者和护理人员前往治疗中心的次数，从而有可能减轻CL±P治疗过程中家庭所面临的护理负担。
