Overview
Brief Summary
The goal of this randomize controlled trial determine the effect of the mobile application developed for the care of sick newborns in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit on nurses' perception of nursing diagnoses and care that cannot be met, and to measure the usability of the mobile application. The main questions it aims to answer are; Does the mobile application developed for the care provided in the neonatal intensive care unit have an effect on the perception of nursing diagnoses? Does the mobile application developed for care provided in the neonatal intensive care unit have an impact on "missed nursing care? Participants will be used for 3 months from the developed mobile application. The control group will continue routine nursing care.
Researchers will compare the perception of nursing diagnosis and unaffordable nursing care survey at the end of month 1 and month 3. Additionally, the usability of the mobile application will be evaluated by applying the system applicability scale to the experimental group.
Detailed Description
Mobile application has become an important and necessary element in nursing education and clinical nursing practices, and its use has gradually increased. Neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) are areas where complex and quality health care is provided for newborns. The development of the nursing process, especially in the neonatal intensive care unit, may shorten the duration of the care that should be provided to newborns. New ways such as mobile applications can be sought to assist in the realization of the nursing process and to strengthen the diagnostic perception of neonatal nurses. This study is a randomized controlled experimental study designed to determine the effect of the mobile application developed for the care of sick newborns in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit on nurses' perception of nursing diagnoses and care that cannot be met, and to measure the usability of the mobile application. A total of 69 nurses working in the neonatal intensive care unit in turkey will constitute the universe of the research. In this study, participants will be selected for experimental and control groups using a stratified random sampling method (the stratification criteria will be based on the institutions where the nurses work). The sample will be calculated as experimental group: 27 control group: 27 in total. Samples from the identified will be selected using the random numbers table. In this study, Nurse Descriptive Characteristics Form; Nursing Diagnosis Perception Scale ; Questionnaire for Determining "missed nursing care" in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit created by the researcher ; System Usability Scale will be used. For the missed nursing care nursing care determination questionnaire, expert opinion was taken and applied to the pilot group, and its content validity was checked.

Arms & Interventions
Mobile Application Group
In the collection of Mobile Application data, they will be asked to fill out the forms.The mobile application will be introduced, the application will be downloaded from the virtual market (Google Play Store or App Store) to the phone, login will be provided by giving a user name and password, and how to use the application will be explained. Participants will be asked to provide nursing care using this application once a week for 3 months. Nursing Diagnosis Perception Scale with nurses at the end of the 1st month and at the end of the 3rd month; " MıssCare" Detection Questionnaire in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit; System Availability Scale will be applied.
Intervention: mobile application
Control group
Participants included in the control group, Nurse Descriptive Characteristics form; Nursing Diagnoses Perception Scale, "Missing Nursing Care" Detection Questionnaire will be applied in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. Nursing Diagnoses Perception Scale at the end of the 1st month and at the end of the 3rd month; The "Missing Nursing Care" Identification Questionnaire will be applied again in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, and the System Usability Scale will not be applied to the control group.
Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Pre-test The Nurse Descriptive Characteristics Form; The Nursing Diagnoses Perception Scale; MissCare Nursing Care Questionnaire in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit
Time Frame: Before starting the intervention
Nurse Descriptive Characteristics Form: A 19-item questionnaire (18 closed, 1 open-ended) developed from the literature to collect demographic and professional information including education, experience, NICU background, work schedule, caregiving practices, nursing process use, and mobile app use. Scoring: Descriptive only. Nursing Diagnosis Perception Scale: A 20-item, 5-point Likert scale (1 = Strongly agree, 5 = Strongly disagree) assessing four subscales-Professional definition, Clarity, Ease of use, Conceptual dimension. Score range: 1-5 (mean). Lower scores indicate more positive perceptions. MissCare Nursing Care Questionnaire in the NICU: A 69-item, 4-point Likert tool (1 = Always performed, 4 = Never performed) evaluating missed care in ten domains; lower scores reflect more complete care.
1. The Nursing Diagnoses Perception Scale 2. MissCare Nursing Care Questionnaire in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit 3. System Usability Scale-Turkish (SUS-TR)
Time Frame: 1 Months
Nursing Diagnosis Perception Scale: A 20-item, 5-point Likert scale (1 = Strongly agree, 5 = Strongly disagree) assessing four subscales-Professional definition, Clarity, Ease of use, Conceptual dimension. Score range: 1-5 (mean). Lower scores indicate more positive perceptions. MissCare Nursing Care Questionnaire in the NICU: A 69-item, 4-point Likert tool (1 = Always performed, 4 = Never performed) evaluating missed care in ten domains; lower scores reflect more complete care. System Usability Scale-Turkish (SUS-TR) is a brief scale developed to measure user views on system usability. Scores are calculated on a 0-100 scale, with higher scores indicating better usability. "This scale was applied exclusively to the Mobile Application Group.
