Background Although mobile health (mHealth) apps for both health consumers and health care providers are increasingly common, their implementation is frequently unsuccessful when there is a misalignment between the needs of the user and the app’s functionality. Nurses are well positioned to help address this challenge. However, nurses’ engagement in mHealth app development remains unclear. Objective This scoping review aims to determine the extent of the evidence of the role of nurses in app development, delineate developmental phases in which nurses are involved, and to characterize the type of mHealth apps nurses are involved in developing. Methods We conducted a scoping review following the 6-stage methodology. We searched 14 databases to identify publications on the role of nurses in mHealth app development and hand searched the reference lists of relevant publications. Two independent researchers performed all screening and data extraction, and a third reviewer resolved any discrepancies. Data were synthesized and grouped by the Software Development Life Cycle phase, and the app functionality was described using the IMS Institute for Healthcare Informatics functionality scoring system. Results The screening process resulted in 157 publications being included in our analysis. Nurses were involved in mHealth app development across all stages of the Software Development Life Cycle but most frequently participated in design and prototyping, requirements gathering, and testing. Nurses most often played the role of evaluators, followed by subject matter experts. Nurses infrequently participated in software development or planning, and participation as patient advocates, research experts, or nurse informaticists was rare. Conclusions Although nurses were represented throughout the preimplementation development process, nurses’ involvement was concentrated in specific phases and roles.

“…Nishimwe et al 34 found that mobile health apps as clinical decision-support instruments facilitated easy access to maternal and neonatal guidelines by nurses and midwives and improved quality care at the point of care. Soilemezi et al 35 found that a smartphone app for bedside recording of nursing handovers was a valuable and efficient instrument for reporting and communication needs. However, there is a lack of research using mobile health apps to incorporate the learning style of the younger generation of nurses using hands-on experience.…”

Evidence-based clinical decision-making is considered a core competency for professional nurses. However, barriers such as lack of time in clinical practice; information overload; restricted access to resources; lack of evidence appraisal skills, awareness, and knowledge; and unreliable resources prevent them from adopting evidence-based practice. This study examined the usefulness of the PubMed4Hh (PubMed for Handhelds) mobile application for clinical decision-making at the point of care among Maryland newly licensed RNs. Using iOS and Android smartphones, 178 newly licensed RNs participated in a 6-month trial from November 2019 to April 2020. Nurses manually entered free-text queries or used voice inputs on the “Patient, Intervention, Comparison, Outcome” or “askMEDLINE” search engines. The results retrieved were presented as journal article abstracts or short summaries called “the bottom line,” designed for quick reading at the point of care. Both Patient, Intervention, Comparison, Outcome and askMEDLINE were rated highly for their usefulness, and participants said they would continue using PubMed4Hh and recommend it to others. Newly licensed RNs had a significantly higher perception of the usefulness of PubMed4Hh when the results of “the bottom line” or abstracts confirmed, led, or modified their nursing skills, knowledge, or the patient's care plan.

“…For example, digital interventions have been developed to improve symptom reporting, shared decision‐making and self‐care for people with cancer leading to positive patient outcomes including increased symptom reporting and symptom self‐management; increased disclosure of concerns with clinicians and shared decision‐making; reduced symptom distress and anxiety, increased satisfaction with care, improved quality of life and more efficient use of health services (Hong et al, 2020). Recently, a prototype mobile app was developed for nursing handover in haemodialysis units to document and transfer information during handover (Soilemezi et al, 2021), although further pilot testing and trialling in the clinical setting is needed. To date, understanding how and whether digital technology has the potential to enhance patient–provider communication during nursing handover is unknown.…”

AimThe study aim was to evaluate the feasibility and efficacy of a digital App developed to enhance patient communication with nurses during bedside nursing handover at shift change.MethodsSix nurses and 11 patient actors/volunteers participated in 12 simulated nursing handovers across six simulation workshops. Over half the patients were aged 70+ years (55%); majority were female (82%). Handover video recordings were analysed using a structured observation tool and a revised Four Habits Coding Scheme to assess nurses' handover communication skills. Patient and nurse feedback was also sought. The STROBE checklist (Data S1) guided preparation of the study.ResultsFor all simulated handovers (n = 12): Nurses greeted the patient at commencement; nurses made eye contact with the patient; patients were given opportunity to ask questions; and all patient questions were answered. Nurses explained the handover process for less than half the handovers (42%). Familiarity with the patient's history was evident in every handover. Communication behaviours identified in most handovers included: good nonverbal behaviour; allowing time for the patient to absorb information; giving clear explanations; involving the patient in decisions; and exploring acceptability of the care plan. Patient and nurse feedback on the App included: The App was easy to navigate, features were well‐liked, with some improvements suggested.ConclusionPatients and nurses provided positive feedback for the App during hospital stay and at handover. The App has the potential to enhance existing handover processes and increase safety of hospital care by using technology to educate and empower patients/carers to be active partners in communication with nurses during change‐of‐shift handover.Relevance to Clinical PracticeThe App empowers and enables patients/carers to actively participate in nursing handover and allows patients to communicate concerns and provide information to their nursing team, facilitating a new approach.Patient or Public ContributionPatients and carers were involved in the research from the original co‐design workshops that guided the development of the handover App. The research aims and outcome measures were informed by the experiences and preferences of patients/carers. Two patient representatives were involved in writing and submission of the grant application for the study to evaluate the efficacy of the App and were listed as co‐authors on this paper. Patient volunteers were involved in the current study to pilot test the handover App. Patient volunteers were recruited through a consumer representative and volunteer registry at the health service. They participated in simulated nursing handovers with two nurses to assess the feasibility and acceptability of the handover App and then provided feedback and suggestions for improvement.
