Full description

Detailed Description The PcyCare platform was developed as a self-directed educational medium for pregnant women, with the aim of improving understanding of nutrition, pregnancy warning signs, mental health, and childbirth preparation. This study aims to evaluate the feasibility, ease of use, and content quality of the platform prior to wider implementation, while also obtaining input from experts for platform refinement.

This study involved 10 pregnant women as primary users. During the one-week study period, participants accessed the platform via smartphone or computer, read educational materials, watched interactive videos, and completed quizzes. Researchers collected data through feasibility and satisfaction questionnaires and assessed participants' understanding before and after using the platform. This activity aimed to determine whether the platform was easy to use and could improve pregnant women's understanding.

In addition, the study also involved 8 subject matter experts (midwifery lecturers/practicing midwives) and 5 information technology/media experts as evaluators of the platform's content and features. The experts assessed the scientific accuracy, completeness of the material, language, cultural appropriateness, visual quality, and interactivity of the platform using a special assessment instrument (expert review). Input from experts will be used to improve and refine the platform before it is tested more widely.

The results of the study are expected to provide information on ease of use, content quality, effectiveness of interactive features, and recommendations for improvement from experts. This study will serve as a basis for improving the feasibility and quality of PcyCare, so that the platform can be used as an effective and safe self-education medium for pregnant women at various educational and socio-cultural levels.
